About these docs

Though this documentation is officially unofficial, you're welcome to use and improve it until OpenAI brings up their own. (1)

1. For more information, see Where is the documentation for the Python OpenAI SDK? in the OpenAI developer forum.

Unofficial

Neither this site nor its contents are officially endorsed by OpenAI. Other than being a customer, I have no affiliation with OpenAI. I've published this documentation because I wanted full API reference for the Python library. You might find it useful, too.

You might instead prefer to use OpenAI's official docs on OpenAI's official documentation site and in the upstream openai/openai-python repository on GitHub, however.

Unsupported

The documentation on this site is provided AS-IS with NO WARRANTY. The API reference is indeed generated from the OpenAI Python library's code, but I make no promises nor guarantee these docs reflect the current, past, or future state of the library.

That said, I use these docs myself and thus intend to keep them (mostly) current. However, there's no automation pulling content from their repo to this fork. (1)

1. That means you might encounter inaccuracies or you might not find what you think should be here. In either case, you should refer to openai/openai-python as the source of truth.

Enjoy! —Marsh
