For updates and announcements, follow @sferik on X.

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile:

bundle add openai

Or, if Bundler is not being used to manage dependencies:

gem install openai

First, obtain an API key from https://platform.openai.com/api-keys.

require "openai"

# Initialize an OpenAI API client with your API secret key
openai_client = OpenAI::Client.new(bearer_token: "sk-thats1smallStep4man1giantLeap4mankind")

# Retrieve a model instance
openai_client.get("models/gpt-4")
# {"id"=>"gpt-4", "object"=>"model", "created"=>1687882411, "owned_by"=>"openai"}
