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

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.
