Assistants' endpoint for Chatbot

API
, ,
1

Hi there. I’m not a developer, so this is probably a noob question…
I’ve set up an Assistant and created an API key.
But (in addition to the Assistant ID and API key) my Wordpress chatbot plugin developer wants an “endpoint”.
Where, specifically do I find the url for that in my account?

You can’t use that plugin.

The Assistant API uses a different format than the usual chat endpoint.

To use your assistant you must use a plugin which works with the assistant api like https://rispose.com

We’re planning to use the Assistants API v2.
Isn’t there an endpoint for that?

BTW Rispose asks for an API key. I can’t give that out.

That is about to be deprecated. Consider using the new Response API.

(and this may require updates to your software)

There is no way to use the assistant api without giving an API key because all files etc are stored on openAI.

The alternative is to rebuild the assistant using the chat API, for that you can use tools like https://replytag.com which don’t require the API key.

Does that work with an Assistant? We need to tailor the chatbot to operate within some very specific criteria.

It’s designed to be an “out of the box assistant” that you can tailor. The front end of course is up to you.

Watch the announcement video.

Yes you can tweak instructions etc but it won’t be based on the assistant api. It will be based on the chat API.

If you need the assistant api you need to give up the API key. There is no other way.

It’s my understanding is that the API would be referenced in php code on our server.

Is the announcement video on OpenAI’s YT channel?

Yeah it’s on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/live/hciNKcLwSes

Wow, so that announcement was only yesterday evening (UK time)!
Ok back to the drawing board for me :roll_eyes:

From what I can tell, the ability to create a chatbot using this option is not available yet and I need a working chatbot by the end of next week.

So I still need to understand how/where I get an endpoint from.

So go with Assistants API for time being. Should be pretty easy to switch.
