API Deprecations

If OpenAI() class depreciated in the openai then why it is showing on the openai site in quick start manu. Please guide me about if it is depreciated or not because I am not able to import this class as well.

Welcome @irfansajid07

OpenAI class depreciated or not on the openai documentation

Where are you getting this from?

I am trying to create an instance of OpenAI class but the import error is arising.

Upgrade to the newest version - it tells you the command to migrate when you attempt the old version. If you’re encountering an import error while trying to create an instance of the OpenAI class, it’s likely due to a couple of possible issues:

1. Outdated or Incorrect SDK Version:

  • SDK Version 4.x (Node.js): If you’re using the latest Node.js SDK (openai package), the structure and imports have changed. For instance, instead of importing and creating an instance directly from the OpenAI class, you now interact through different components like OpenAIApi. Here’s a sample code for version 4.x:

    import { OpenAIApi, Configuration } from 'openai';

const configuration = new Configuration({
  apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
});

const openai = new OpenAIApi(configuration);

  • SDK Version 1.x (Python): If you are working with the Python SDK, make sure you are using the correct import statement:

    import openai

openai.api_key = "your-api-key"
response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
    model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, how can I help you today?"}
    ]
)

2. Dependency Issues:

  • Ensure that you have the openai package correctly installed in your environment:
    npm install openai  # for Node.js
pip install openai  # for Python
  • Sometimes, even after installation, there might be conflicts or issues with the environment, especially if older versions are cached or conflicting with the new ones. Try removing and reinstalling the package.

3. Incorrect Import Path:

  • If you are following documentation for a different version of the SDK or a different language, the import paths might differ. Double-check that you are using the correct import statements for your specific SDK version and language.

4. Configuration Issues:

  • Make sure you correctly configure your API key and other required settings. Missing or incorrect configurations can lead to runtime errors when attempting to instantiate classes.

Debugging Tips:

  • Check the error message for details on which module or class is not found.
  • Confirm that your installed SDK version matches the documentation you’re following.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, feel free to share the specific error message you’re encountering for more targeted assistance.
