Your First API Call

Let's start with a simple example using the ChatGPT API to show you how easy it is to get started:

Hello World with ChatGPT

import { ChatGPT } from 'macro_api';

// Initialize the client
const gpt = new ChatGPT({
  apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY
});

// Make your first API call
async function firstApiCall() {
  try {
    const response = await gpt.chat(
      'Explain APIs in simple terms',
      'You are a helpful programming tutor'
    );
    
    console.log('AI Response:', response);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error:', error);
  }
}

firstApiCall();

Environment Variables

Always store your API keys in environment variables, never in your source code. Create a `.env` file in your project root and add your keys there.

Environment Setup

Create a `.env` file in your project root to securely store your API keys:

Environment variables setup

# .env file
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-openai-key-here
SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID=your-spotify-client-id
SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET=your-spotify-client-secret
