So I was trying to use the api for some 3rd party app but apparently chatgpt subscription is not same with openai account. Can someone tell me if I need to pay another subscription for api or any chance to use my chatgpt subscription for the api? I read some info that if I enter my billing details it will show up but I have subscribed via apple so there is no chance for me to provide the info.
Welcome to the Forum!
ChatGPT and the API are two different products and hence are treated differently from a billing point of view. Your ChatGPT subscription does not provide you with API access. If you’d like to start using the API, then you need to add a minimum of USD 5 in funds to your account on the developer platform: https://platform.openai.com/.
To add funds, navigate to Settings > Organization > Billing. First add a payment method and then you can add credits.
