About OpenAI Cookbook
The OpenAI Cookbook is an open-source GitHub repository of example code and guides for accomplishing common tasks with the OpenAI API. It can also be browsed as a website at cookbook.openai.com. Most examples are written in Python, though the repository says the concepts can be applied in any language. Running the examples requires an OpenAI account and an API key, typically stored in an OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable or a .env file that notebook tooling such as Visual Studio Code can pick up. The project is licensed under the MIT License and accepts contributions.
