Problem
As ChatGPT becomes part of daily workflows, users need better visibility and control over their own AI activity data.
Currently, there is no supported API that allows users to access their own ChatGPT workspace metadata for personal dashboards or productivity tools.
Proposal
Provide an official OAuth-based, read-only Personal Metadata API for ChatGPT users with granular user-consented scopes.
Example scopes:
- account.read
- subscription.read
- usage.read
- projects.read
- conversations.metadata.read
- codex.read
- library.read
- storage.read
Privacy
This API should expose metadata only:
- No conversation content
- No file contents
- Explicit user consent
- Revocable permissions
- Read-only access
Example Use Cases
- Personal AI productivity dashboards
- AI activity visualization
- Personal AI workspace management
- Understanding how AI contributes to daily work
Why Now
AI is becoming an important part of personal productivity workflows.
Without an official API, advanced users may rely on unofficial approaches such as browser automation or scraping their own account views, which is less reliable and less secure.
A first-party OAuth API would provide a safer and more transparent integration path.
