OpenAI provides an option to create an API key. We will just generate that.

Step 1 – Login to OpenAI – https://openai.com/

Create an account if you don’t have one already

Step 2 – Find “API keys” in the left corner, click on it and then go to the API Keys section

Step 3 – Click on “+ Create new secret key”, provide a name and you will get your API key

Make sure, you copy it and write it somewhere as you will not be able to access it again.

APIs are like messengers that transfer information from one software to another.
