### [Authentication](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/authentication)



There are 3 ways to provide your API keys, in order of precedence:



> [!WARNING]

> We recommended using the environment variables to load the API key instead of having it hard coded in your source. It is not recommended use this method in production, but only for accepting user credentials, local testing and quick start scenarios.



1. [Pass keys directly with constructor](#pass-keys-directly-with-constructor) :warning:

2. [Load key from configuration file](#load-key-from-configuration-file)

3. [Use System Environment Variables](#use-system-environment-variables)



You use the `OpenAIAuthentication` when you initialize the API as shown:



#### Pass keys directly with constructor



> [!WARNING]

> We recommended using the environment variables to load the API key instead of having it hard coded in your source. It is not recommended use this method in production, but only for accepting user credentials, local testing and quick start scenarios.



```csharp

using var api = new OpenAIClient("sk-apiKey");

```



Or create a `OpenAIAuthentication` object manually



```csharp

using var api = new OpenAIClient(new OpenAIAuthentication("sk-apiKey", "org-yourOrganizationId", "proj_yourProjectId"));

```



#### Load key from configuration file



Attempts to load api keys from a configuration file, by default `.openai` in the current directory, optionally traversing up the directory tree or in the user's home directory.



To create a configuration file, create a new text file named `.openai` and containing the line:



> [!NOTE]

> Organization and project id entries are optional.



##### Json format



```json

{

  "apiKey": "sk-aaaabbbbbccccddddd",

  "organizationId": "org-yourOrganizationId",

  "projectId": "proj_yourProjectId"

}

```



##### Deprecated format



```shell

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-aaaabbbbbccccddddd

OPENAI_ORGANIZATION_ID=org-yourOrganizationId

OPENAI_PROJECT_ID=proj_yourProjectId

```



You can also load the configuration file directly with known path by calling static methods in `OpenAIAuthentication`:



- Loads the default `.openai` config in the specified directory:



```csharp

using var api = new OpenAIClient(OpenAIAuthentication.LoadFromDirectory("path/to/your/directory"));

```



- Loads the configuration file from a specific path. File does not need to be named `.openai` as long as it conforms to the json format:



```csharp

using var api = new OpenAIClient(OpenAIAuthentication.LoadFromPath("path/to/your/file.json"));

```



#### Use System Environment Variables



Use your system's environment variables specify an api key and organization to use.



- Use `OPENAI_API_KEY` for your api key.

- Use `OPENAI_ORGANIZATION_ID` to specify an organization.

- Use `OPENAI_PROJECT_ID` to specify a project.



```csharp

using var api = new OpenAIClient(OpenAIAuthentication.LoadFromEnv());

```



### Handling OpenAIClient and HttpClient Lifecycle



`OpenAIClient` implements `IDisposable` to manage the lifecycle of the resources it uses, including `HttpClient`. When you initialize `OpenAIClient`, it will create an internal `HttpClient` instance if one is not provided. This internal `HttpClient` is disposed of when `OpenAIClient` is disposed of. If you provide an external `HttpClient` instance to `OpenAIClient`, you are responsible for managing its disposal.



- If `OpenAIClient` creates its own `HttpClient`, it will also take care of disposing it when you dispose `OpenAIClient`.

- If an external `HttpClient` is passed to `OpenAIClient`, it will not be disposed of by `OpenAIClient`. You must manage the disposal of the `HttpClient` yourself.



Please ensure to appropriately dispose of `OpenAIClient` to release resources timely and to prevent any potential memory or resource leaks in your application.



Typical usage with an internal `HttpClient`:



```csharp

using var api = new OpenAIClient();

```



Custom `HttpClient` (which you must dispose of yourself):



```csharp

using var customHttpClient = new HttpClient();

// set custom http client properties here

var api = new OpenAIClient(client: customHttpClient);

```



### [Azure OpenAI](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/openai)



You can also choose to use Microsoft's Azure OpenAI deployments as well.



You can find the required information in the Azure Playground by clicking the `View Code` button and view a URL like this:



```markdown

https://{your-resource-name}.openai.azure.com/openai/deployments/{deployment-id}/chat/completions?api-version={api-version}

```



- `your-resource-name` The name of your Azure OpenAI Resource.

- `deployment-id` The deployment name you chose when you deployed the model.

- `api-version` The API version to use for this operation. This follows the YYYY-MM-DD format.



To setup the client to use your deployment, you'll need to pass in `OpenAIClientSettings` into the client constructor.



```csharp

var auth = new OpenAIAuthentication("sk-apiKey");

var settings = new OpenAIClientSettings(resourceName: "your-resource-name", deploymentId: "deployment-id", apiVersion: "api-version");

using var api = new OpenAIClient(auth, settings);

```



#### [Azure Active Directory Authentication](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/openai/reference#authentication)



[Authenticate with MSAL](https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-dotnet) as usual and get access token, then use the access token when creating your `OpenAIAuthentication`. Then be sure to set useAzureActiveDirectory to true when creating your `OpenAIClientSettings`.



[Tutorial: Desktop app that calls web APIs: Acquire a token](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/scenario-desktop-acquire-token?tabs=dotnet)



```csharp

// get your access token using any of the MSAL methods

var accessToken = result.AccessToken;

var auth = new OpenAIAuthentication(accessToken);

var settings = new OpenAIClientSettings(resourceName: "your-resource", deploymentId: "deployment-id", apiVersion: "api-version", useActiveDirectoryAuthentication: true);

using var api = new OpenAIClient(auth, settings);

```



### [OpenAI API Proxy](OpenAI-DotNet-Proxy/Readme.md)



[![NuGet version (OpenAI-DotNet-Proxy)](https://img.shields.io/nuget/v/OpenAI-DotNet-Proxy.svg?label=OpenAI-DotNet-Proxy&logo=nuget)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/OpenAI-DotNet-Proxy/)



Using either the [OpenAI-DotNet](https://github.com/RageAgainstThePixel/OpenAI-DotNet) or [com.openai.unity](https://github.com/RageAgainstThePixel/com.openai.unity) packages directly in your front-end app may expose your API keys and other sensitive information. To mitigate this risk, it is recommended to set up an intermediate API that makes requests to OpenAI on behalf of your front-end app. This library can be utilized for both front-end and intermediary host configurations, ensuring secure communication with the OpenAI API.



#### Front End Example



In the front end example, you will need to securely authenticate your users using your preferred OAuth provider. Once the user is authenticated, exchange your custom auth token with your API key on the backend.



Follow these steps:



1. Setup a new project using either the [OpenAI-DotNet](https://github.com/RageAgainstThePixel/OpenAI-DotNet) or [com.openai.unity](https://github.com/RageAgainstThePixel/com.openai.unity) packages.

2. Authenticate users with your OAuth provider.

3. After successful authentication, create a new `OpenAIAuthentication` object and pass in the custom token with the prefix `sess-`.

4. Create a new `OpenAIClientSettings` object and specify the domain where your intermediate API is located.

5. Pass your new `auth` and `settings` objects to the `OpenAIClient` constructor when you create the client instance.



Here's an example of how to set up the front end:



```csharp

var authToken = await LoginAsync();

var auth = new OpenAIAuthentication($"sess-{authToken}");

var settings = new OpenAIClientSettings(domain: "api.your-custom-domain.com");

using var api = new OpenAIClient(auth, settings);

```



This setup allows your front end application to securely communicate with your backend that will be using the OpenAI-DotNet-Proxy, which then forwards requests to the OpenAI API. This ensures that your OpenAI API keys and other sensitive information remain secure throughout the process.



#### Back End Example



In this example, we demonstrate how to set up and use `OpenAIProxyStartup` in a new ASP.NET Core web app. The proxy server will handle authentication and forward requests to the OpenAI API, ensuring that your API keys and other sensitive information remain secure.



1. Create a new [ASP.NET Core minimal web API](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/tutorials/min-web-api?view=aspnetcore-6.0) project.

2. Add the OpenAI-DotNet nuget package to your project.

    - Powershell install: `Install-Package OpenAI-DotNet-Proxy`

    - Manually editing .csproj: ``

3. Create a new class that inherits from `AbstractAuthenticationFilter` and override the `ValidateAuthentication` method. This will implement the `IAuthenticationFilter` that you will use to check user session token against your internal server.

4. In `Program.cs`, create a new proxy web application by calling `OpenAIProxyStartup.CreateWebApplication` method, passing your custom `AuthenticationFilter` as a type argument.

5. Create `OpenAIAuthentication` and `OpenAIClientSettings` as you would normally with your API keys, org id, or Azure settings.



```csharp

public partial class Program

{

    private class AuthenticationFilter : AbstractAuthenticationFilter

    {

        public override void ValidateAuthentication(IHeaderDictionary request)

        {

            // You will need to implement your own class to properly test

            // custom issued tokens you've setup for your end users.

            if (!request.Authorization.ToString().Contains(TestUserToken))

            {

                throw new AuthenticationException("User is not authorized");

            }

        }



        public override async Task ValidateAuthenticationAsync(IHeaderDictionary request)

        {

            await Task.CompletedTask; // remote resource call



            // You will need to implement your own class to properly test

            // custom issued tokens you've setup for your end users.

            if (!request.Authorization.ToString().Contains(TestUserToken))

            {

                throw new AuthenticationException("User is not authorized");

            }

        }

    }



    public static void Main(string[] args)

    {

        var auth = OpenAIAuthentication.LoadFromEnv();

        var settings = new OpenAIClientSettings(/* your custom settings if using Azure OpenAI */);

        using var openAIClient = new OpenAIClient(auth, settings);

        OpenAIProxyStartup.CreateWebApplication(args, openAIClient).Run();

    }

}

```



Once you have set up your proxy server, your end users can now make authenticated requests to your proxy api instead of directly to the OpenAI API. The proxy server will handle authentication and forward requests to the OpenAI API, ensuring that your API keys and other sensitive information remain secure.



### [Models](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/models)

#### [Chat Json Mode](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/text-generation/json-mode)



> [!WARNING]

> Beta Feature. API subject to breaking changes.



> [!IMPORTANT]

>

> - When using JSON mode, always instruct the model to produce JSON via some message in the conversation, for example via your system message. If you don't include an explicit instruction to generate JSON, the model may generate an unending stream of whitespace and the request may run continually until it reaches the token limit. To help ensure you don't forget, the API will throw an error if the string "JSON" does not appear somewhere in the context.

> - The JSON in the message the model returns may be partial (i.e. cut off) if `finish_reason` is length, which indicates the generation exceeded max_tokens or the conversation exceeded the token limit. To guard against this, check `finish_reason` before parsing the response.

> - JSON mode will not guarantee the output matches any specific schema, only that it is valid and parses without errors.



```csharp

var messages = new List

{

    new Message(Role.System, "You are a helpful assistant designed to output JSON."),

    new Message(Role.User, "Who won the world series in 2020?"),

};
