Hi @Skylark839 and welcome to the community!

I did a quick search and found [this Java package](https://github.com/TheoKanning/openai-java), but looks like it’s been archived.

However, all OpenAI API examples, including Assistants API work with standard `curl` (HTTP) requests. So any Java library that is able to behave like `curl` equivalent (sending HTTP requests to some URI), should work fine.

For example, on [this page](https://platform.openai.com/docs/assistants/deep-dive/creating-assistants), you can see how to do everything by selecting “curl” option. To upload a file for example, you would do this:

```auto
curl https://api.openai.com/v1/files \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
  -F purpose="assistants" \
  -F file="@revenue-forecast.csv"

```

I am not up to speed with all the Java web features but any Java lib/module that can execute that should be good to go.
