GPT4-o can connect to the Internet via the API?

Hi guys!
I am interested in buying the license to use the API with ChatGPT-o, but nowhere can I find if the model is able to connect to the internet to give a response.
Example, if I ask it for current internet information, is it able to get it?
Using the ChatGPT web, the model is able to access the internet, but I am not sure if it is the same using it by API.
Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the Forum!

A couple of points:

  1. You don’t buy a license to use the API. You simply add credits, i.e. money, to your developer acccount and that then enables you to consume the different models via API.

  2. The API does not natively come with the functionality to browse the web. What you can do is to implement in your script a web search API, such as Bing Search. Based on a given user input, you would pass a query to the search API, which in turn would then return a number of relevant search results, which you can then incorporate in the final response back to the user. You can easily achieve this “workflow” with the use of function calling.

I want to use the API for ChatGPT to help me perform technical analysis, but to do so it has to be able to access real-time quote data.
I think that if the ghatgpt-o model doesn’t have native internet access, I won’t be able to do it :frowning:

Do you happen to know of any github repos that I could build something like this based on?
