Conversation_id

[gavin]

We are having difficulty retrieving the conversation_id (using the API), so we can return to our conversation and continue the conversation with context. Any help would be appreciated.

This is not possible currently.

You cannot connect prompts/completions with each other.

To continue the conversation, you need to send the entire conversation thus far in the prompt each time. There’s quite a few examples of this on GitHub in various languages.

Hope this helps.

Very helpful thanks!

Hi Paul - Do we know when conversation_id will be supported ?

[zhihong0321]

does it meant, every each conversion will cost more token? (because the prompt needed to pass the history of chat? )

@zhihong0321

(because the prompt needed to pass the history of chat? )

That may be one reason OpenAI decides to lower the chat token cost by 90%.

Hi Paul,
response.data.id returns the conversation id, are there plans to allow the use of this as a parentMessageId in the future?

Some libraries e.g. 01 02 have this / say they have this already.

My best,
Justin
