I have been reading about the API access.
I am developing a completely client side dashboard with a bunch of utilities and widgets feeding off of different APIs. Like with the other APIs, they’re either free to access or the user must input their own API key. I would love for users to be able to access ChatGPT the same way, providing my own chat-like UI and essentially just providing an embedded way to access ChatGPT just like you can in the regular website
I find conflicting reports, some places say the API is free to use but rate limited, other places only list price per token and no free tier.
I don’t want to pay anything I wouldn’t have to if I just had a link to the regular website but I would love to use it embedded into my dashboard.
Is my use case possible? I think it would help if the API access had a detailed access vs cost breakdown somewhere clearly stated, because the pricing page and docs list different stuff right now, in the docs (platform_openai_com/docs/guides/rate-limits) seems to imply there is a free tier and it has certain rate limits while the pricing page (openai_com/api/pricing/) seems to imply ANY usage has an associated cost. An underscore has replaced the dot to break up the links since they seem to not be allowed (but since I’m pointing to OpenAI’s own content I hope it’s okay)
Maybe I’m missing something?
