ChatGPT API response : choices: [ [Object] ],

ChatGPT
1

hello,
i was trying simple req/res from chatGPT openai api and i got this:

data: {
id: ‘cmpl-6t0toKrE5sSwubu4uGmg5iURXyT30’,
object: ‘text_completion’,
created: 1678569516,
model: ‘text-davinci-003’,
choices: [ [Object] ],
usage: { prompt_tokens: 1, completion_tokens: 16, total_tokens: 17 }

any idea how to return the response? it should be in choices

code i use below:

const { Configuration, OpenAIApi } = require(“openai”);

const configuration = new Configuration({
apiKey: ‘*********’
});
const openai = new OpenAIApi(configuration);

async function runChatGpt() {
const response = await openai.createCompletion({
model: “text-davinci-003”,
prompt: “hi”
});
console.log(response);
}

runChatGpt();

To start, it sounds like your think you’re using the ChatGPT API but you’re actually using text-davinci-003, which may be causing some of your confusion.

thanks, but why i got choices: [ [Object] ], ? why the choices is undefined?

4

What you’re describing is correct for the model you’re using. You have to access the first object with choices[0].

thank you again, but i dont think so, as when i tried for example : “console.log(response.choices[0].text);”
i got an error that : Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘0’) because the choices object is undefined

i have edit the code to this , and now its working

const { Configuration, OpenAIApi } = require(“openai”);

const config = new Configuration({
apiKey: “*******”,
});

const openai = new OpenAIApi(config);

const runChat = async () => {
const prompt = “hi”;

const response = await openai.createCompletion({
    model: "text-davinci-003",
    prompt: prompt,
    max_tokens: 2048,
    temperature: .6,
});
    
console.log(response.data.choices[0].text);

};

runChat();

Correct (above)

You @sarah.salah.rizk were mistakenly trying to access the text before:

Glad you figured it out @sarah.salah.rizk
