Welcome to the community. To clarify, are you looking to GET or POST data from an API to a GPT, while also ensuring the GPT can use the Web Browsing “Capability”? Or are you looking to communicate with the GPT via an API? ---

It’s for internal use on our internal company website. I developed GPTs that work perfectly for my use case, but it continues to limit the amount of usage. I need the web browsing to function exactly as it does when I’m logged into ChatGPT. The prompts are long and specific. ---

Ah ok. As far as I know the only way to interact with a GPT currently is on [ChatGPT](https://chat.openai.com/) itself. That may change but as of right now you can not “embed” or otherwise share your GPT outside of ChatGPT. You can create a very similar experience to what you described by not building GPTs but using the OpenAI APIs. [The Playground](https://platform.openai.com/playground) is a good place to start to learn about that. Others may be able to advise on that approach. ---

Have you tried building with Assistants api to create your own GPT? ---

i was able to get the same functionality with the assistant but does it have the ability to browse the web? ---

The assistants endpoint does not have the ability to access the internet. It has the ability to call for tool functions that you provide. ---

Hi scott, Did you integrate gpt into website? I am looking for the best possible solution after acquiring the openAI API key
