Keys for testing purposes only

Hello, I am working on an application powered by the GPT API, however, I can’t figure out hot to make keys for testing purposes only. Meaning I will avoid incurring costs or affecting production environments. Does anyone know how I can implement this?

Hi there and welcome to the Forum!

No sure if I am misunderstanding your question but the consumption of OpenAI models via the API always incurs costs. You of course have the option to set up different keys for different purposes, i.e. development vs production environment, and as such track the costs separately.

Sorry to disagree, but the question makes every sense.

We’re not asking a working API key, just an API key that would return dummy data, to test our code, without expenses.

There is no such thing. However, if you are not using any library and just uses the endpoints, you can probably easily mock the APIs based on the request and response format written in the API reference page. There are also error codes but the actual content is not written.
