Regarding the end user's OpenAI ID

Hi,

If I use OpenAI’s API, will the end user be required to enter an OpenAI ID?
I meant at the beginning of the installation process for my apps.

regards,

The API is primarily for development of your own AI products based on your own secure backend and you doing the customer billing. That means setting up your own API server with authentication and customer accounts and usage policies.

It is possible to develop standalone applications that use the API, “bring your own key”, but usage of other’s code is highly discourage because of hacking campaigns that specifically focus on finding the gullible willing to run exes and get their accounts stolen.

The only authentication needed for a direct call to the API is a funded API key.
