    "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
    "messages":[{"role": "user", "content":"How many medals india won in olympics"}],
    "temperature": 0.7
}

How to fix this issue and get updated data through API

Welcome to our community!

ChatGPT has a built-in search feature that allows you to get the latest information, but if you are accessing the model via API, you will need to build your own internet search mechanism.

Google Custom Search and serpapi are well known, but they require some effort to implement.

You may also want to look at examples of people who have actually implemented this.
