Dall-E error , requestor apikey

Hi @jainsiddharth1807,

The error you’re encountering indicates that there is no API key provided for the OpenAI library. You should set your OpenAI API key either directly in your code or through an environment variable.
Here’s how you can set your API key in your code:

import openai
import os

# Set your OpenAI API key
openai.api_key = os.environ['your_api_key_here']  # Replace 'your_api_key_here' with your actual API key that you take from the OpenAI Platform

# Rest of your code...

Below I am attaching the complete code for the Dall-E project for your reference

import openai

import os

from flask import Flask, render_template_string, request



openai.api_key = os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY']





def generate_tutorial(components):

 response = openai.Image.create(prompt=components,

                 model="image-alpha-001",

                 size="1024x1024",

                 response_format="url")

 image_url = response["data"][0]["url"]

 return image_url





app = Flask(__name__)





@app.route('/', methods=['GET', 'POST'])

def hello():

 output = ""



 if request.method == 'POST':

  components = request.form['components']

  output = generate_tutorial(components)

I was expecting the generation of an image after making my Dall E Project but its not giving any image. The webpage is opened but the image is not generated.

Hi @sakshibrahamwanshi4,

In the code in line 4 you will have to replace the word OPENAI_API_KEY with your API key that you take from the OpenAI account.

openai.api_key = os.environ['add_your_API_Key_here']

Replace this and try to run the code and it should work as expected.
Let me know if you are still facing an issue.

this error has occurred since you might not have provided the api key. You can create one from https://platform.openai.com/api-keys , after creating an openai account. Please copy the api key at the time of creation and save it at some secure place for later usage, otherwise you won’t be able to view it later. Since providing api key directly in the code might expose it publicly, thus we can use the key management feature provided by replit and store it in ‘Secrets’(you can search for this in tools and will find this icon). also you need to use the following syntax,
openai.api_key = os.environ[‘add_your_API_Key_here’]

import the openai header file too beforehand.

already provided key then also facing issue.

Hi @sakshibrahamwanshi4

If you are working on Replit.com then store your API key in the secrets under tools section and keep this line
openai.api_key = os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] as it is

If you still find issues ,please share screenshots of the error and code so that we can solve it.
