I took a look at this briefly because of my historical involvement/interest with 🤖's in the Discourse space.

The authorisation of the API calls to the web-based ChatGPT is currently quite involved (and annoying, forcing you to mimic a web browser, for example) and [some interim open source API wrapper solutions](https://gist.github.com/kieranklaassen/40aaa3aecc8ecf37f7a788d0b18a85b1?permalink_comment_id=4397493#gistcomment-4397493) have since failed as they’ve tightened this up.

I suspect, for the time being, they are actively trying to make reverse engineering the official website API calls hard\[1\] and it might be worth waiting for the official API for a fully conversant ChatGPT which will surely come to avoid this complexity and any abuse of the terms of service that you may risk? Looking at [OpenAI’s Discourse (👍 ), this appears to be others thinking](https://community.openai.com/t/is-there-an-api-for-chatgpt3/23871/8).

But let’s ask the bot directly?:

Noting there is already an official OpenAI API but this doesn’t support ongoing conversations in quite such a convenient manner (you appear to have to send _all_ history every time in a `context` variable! That is too wasteful (and ultimately expensive) for me to bother in the meantime! 😅 ).

Hopefully they will release an official API with a simple conversation reference at some stage soon. No doubt there will be a price attached! 😅

1. I suspect this is partly because they are also employing a moderation API which is presently separate from the bot calls?
