New programmer building an API. Is is possible to make it work as a free user?

API
1

Hello everyone. I’m trying to build an app in Python implementing the gpt API, but I keep getting the same error:

‘openai.error.RateLimitError: You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details. For more information on this error, read the docs: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/error-codes/api-errors.’

I tried several models and can’t get out of that error. I was wondering if maybe it’s because I’m a free user and the implementation of API requires buying a certain product. For now, as I am practicing and quite new to this kind of program I just wanted to test it by myself before buying anything.

Is it possible? Perhaps there’s something wrong with my code.

There’s no “free” API usage anymore likely due a lot of abuse by bad actors in the past.

429 - You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details Cause: You have run out of credits or hit your maximum monthly spend.
Solution: Buy more credits or learn how to increase your limits.
