[![Maven Central](https://img.shields.io/maven-central/v/com.openai/openai-java)](https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/com.openai/openai-java/0.22.0) [![javadoc](https://javadoc.io/badge2/com.openai/openai-java/0.22.0/javadoc.svg)](https://javadoc.io/doc/com.openai/openai-java/0.22.0) The OpenAI Java SDK provides convenient access to the OpenAI REST API from applications written in Java. The REST API documentation can be found on [platform.openai.com](https://platform.openai.com/docs). Javadocs are also available on [javadoc.io](https://javadoc.io/doc/com.openai/openai-java/0.0.1). ## Installation ### Gradle ```kotlin implementation("com.openai:openai-java:0.22.0") ``` ### Maven ```xml com.openai openai-java 0.22.0 ``` ## Requirements This library requires Java 8 or later. ## Usage See the [`openai-java-example`](openai-java-example/src/main/java/com/openai/example) directory for complete and runnable examples. ### Configure the client Use `OpenAIOkHttpClient.builder()` to configure the client. At a minimum you need to set `.apiKey()`: ```java import com.openai.client.OpenAIClient; import com.openai.client.okhttp.OpenAIOkHttpClient; OpenAIClient client = OpenAIOkHttpClient.builder() .apiKey("My API Key") .build(); ``` Alternately, set the environment with `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_ORG_ID` or `OPENAI_PROJECT_ID`, and use `OpenAIOkHttpClient.fromEnv()` to read from the environment. ```java import com.openai.client.OpenAIClient; import com.openai.client.okhttp.OpenAIOkHttpClient; OpenAIClient client = OpenAIOkHttpClient.fromEnv(); // Note: you can also call fromEnv() from the client builder, for example if you need to set additional properties OpenAIClient client = OpenAIOkHttpClient.builder() .fromEnv() // ... set properties on the builder .build(); ``` | Property | Environment variable | Required | Default value | | ------------ | -------------------- | -------- | ------------- | | apiKey | `OPENAI_API_KEY` | true | — | | organization | `OPENAI_ORG_ID` | false | — | | project | `OPENAI_PROJECT_ID` | false | — | Read the documentation for more configuration options. --- ### Example: creating a resource To create a new chat completion, first use the `ChatCompletionCreateParams` builder to specify attributes, then pass that to the `create` method of the `completions` service. ```java import com.openai.models.ChatCompletion; import com.openai.models.ChatCompletionCreateParams; import com.openai.models.ChatModel; ChatCompletionCreateParams params = ChatCompletionCreateParams.builder() .addUserMessage("Say this is a test") .model(ChatModel.O3_MINI) .build(); ChatCompletion chatCompletion = client.chat().completions().create(params); ``` ### Example: listing resources The OpenAI API provides a `list` method to get a paginated list of jobs. You can retrieve the first page by: ```java import com.openai.models.FineTuningJob; import com.openai.models.FineTuningJobListPage; FineTuningJobListPage page = client.fineTuning().jobs().list(); for (FineTuningJob job : page.data()) { System.out.println(job); } ``` Use the `FineTuningJobListParams` builder to set parameters: ```java import com.openai.models.FineTuningJobListPage; import com.openai.models.FineTuningJobListParams; FineTuningJobListParams params = FineTuningJobListParams.builder() .after("after") .limit(20L) .build(); FineTuningJobListPage page1 = client.fineTuning().jobs().list(params); // Using the `from` method of the builder you can reuse previous params values: FineTuningJobListPage page2 = client.fineTuning().jobs().list(FineTuningJobListParams.builder() .from(params) .build()); // Or easily get params for the next page by using the helper `getNextPageParams`: FineTuningJobListPage page3 = client.fineTuning().jobs().list(params.getNextPageParams(page2)); ``` See [Pagination](#pagination) below for more information on transparently working with lists of objects without worrying about fetching each page. --- ## Requests ### Parameters and bodies To make a request to the OpenAI API, you generally build an instance of the appropriate `Params` class. See [Undocumented request params](#undocumented-request-params) for how to send arbitrary parameters. ## Responses ### Response validation When receiving a response, the OpenAI Java SDK will deserialize it into instances of the typed model classes. In rare cases, the API may return a response property that doesn't match the expected Java type. If you directly access the mistaken property, the SDK will throw an unchecked `OpenAIInvalidDataException` at runtime. If you would prefer to check in advance that that response is completely well-typed, call `.validate()` on the returned model. ```java import com.openai.models.ChatCompletion; ChatCompletion chatCompletion = client.chat().completions().create().validate(); ``` ### Response properties as JSON In rare cases, you may want to access the underlying JSON value for a response property rather than using the typed version provided by this SDK. Each model property has a corresponding JSON version, with an underscore before the method name, which returns a `JsonField` value. ```java import com.openai.core.JsonField; import java.util.Optional; JsonField field = responseObj._field(); if (field.isMissing()) { // Value was not specified in the JSON response } else if (field.isNull()) { // Value was provided as a literal null } else { // See if value was provided as a string Optional jsonString = field.asString(); // If the value given by the API did not match the shape that the SDK expects // you can deserialise into a custom type MyClass myObj = responseObj._field().asUnknown().orElseThrow().convert(MyClass.class); } ``` ### Additional model properties Sometimes, the server response may include additional properties that are not yet available in this library's types. You can access them using the model's `_additionalProperties` method: ```java import com.openai.core.JsonValue; JsonValue secret = errorObject._additionalProperties().get("secret_field"); ``` --- ## Pagination For methods that return a paginated list of results, this library provides convenient ways access the results either one page at a time, or item-by-item across all pages. ### Auto-pagination To iterate through all results across all pages, you can use `autoPager`, which automatically handles fetching more pages for you: ### Synchronous ```java import com.openai.models.FineTuningJob; import com.openai.models.FineTuningJobListPage; // As an Iterable: FineTuningJobListPage page = client.fineTuning().jobs().list(params); for (FineTuningJob job : page.autoPager()) { System.out.println(job); }; // As a Stream: client.fineTuning().jobs().list(params).autoPager().stream() .limit(50) .forEach(job -> System.out.println(job)); ``` ### Asynchronous ```java // Using forEach, which returns CompletableFuture: asyncClient.fineTuning().jobs().list(params).autoPager() .forEach(job -> System.out.println(job), executor); ``` ### Manual pagination If none of the above helpers meet your needs, you can also manually request pages one-by-one. A page of results has a `data()` method to fetch the list of objects, as well as top-level `response` and other methods to fetch top-level data about the page. It also has methods `hasNextPage`, `getNextPage`, and `getNextPageParams` methods to help with pagination. ```java import com.openai.models.FineTuningJob; import com.openai.models.FineTuningJobListPage; FineTuningJobListPage page = client.fineTuning().jobs().list(params); while (page != null) { for (FineTuningJob job : page.data()) { System.out.println(job); } page = page.getNextPage().orElse(null); } ``` --- ## Error handling This library throws exceptions in a single hierarchy for easy handling: - **`OpenAIException`** - Base exception for all exceptions - **`OpenAIServiceException`** - HTTP errors with a well-formed response body we were able to parse. The exception message and the `.debuggingRequestId()` will be set by the server. | 400 | BadRequestException | | ------ | ----------------------------- | | 401 | AuthenticationException | | 403 | PermissionDeniedException | | 404 | NotFoundException | | 422 | UnprocessableEntityException | | 429 | RateLimitException | | 5xx | InternalServerException | | others | UnexpectedStatusCodeException | - **`OpenAIIoException`** - I/O networking errors - **`OpenAIInvalidDataException`** - any other exceptions on the client side, e.g.: - We failed to serialize the request body - We failed to parse the response body (has access to response code and body) ## Microsoft Azure OpenAI To use this library with [Azure OpenAI](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/ai-services/openai/overview), use the same OpenAI client builder but with the Azure-specific configuration. ```java OpenAIClient client = OpenAIOkHttpClient.builder() // Gets the API key from the `AZURE_OPENAI_KEY` environment variable .fromEnv() // Set the Azure Entra ID .credential(BearerTokenCredential.create(AuthenticationUtil.getBearerTokenSupplier( new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build(), "https://cognitiveservices.azure.com/.default"))) .build(); ``` See the complete Azure OpenAI example in the [`openai-java-example`](openai-java-example/src/main/java/com/openai/example/AzureEntraIdExample.java) directory. The other examples in the directory also work with Azure as long as the client is configured to use it. ## Network options ### Retries Requests that experience certain errors are automatically retried 2 times by default, with a short exponential backoff. Connection errors (for example, due to a network connectivity problem), 408 Request Timeout, 409 Conflict, 429 Rate Limit, and >=500 Internal errors will all be retried by default. You can provide a `maxRetries` on the client builder to configure this: ```java import com.openai.client.OpenAIClient; import com.openai.client.okhttp.OpenAIOkHttpClient; OpenAIClient client = OpenAIOkHttpClient.builder() .fromEnv() .maxRetries(4) .build(); ``` ### Timeouts Requests time out after 10 minutes by default. You can configure this on the client builder: ```java import com.openai.client.OpenAIClient; import com.openai.client.okhttp.OpenAIOkHttpClient; import java.time.Duration; OpenAIClient client = OpenAIOkHttpClient.builder() .fromEnv() .timeout(Duration.ofSeconds(30)) .build(); ``` ### Proxies Requests can be routed through a proxy. You can configure this on the client builder: ```java import com.openai.client.OpenAIClient; import com.openai.client.okhttp.OpenAIOkHttpClient; import java.net.InetSocketAddress; import java.net.Proxy; OpenAIClient client = OpenAIOkHttpClient.builder() .fromEnv() .proxy(new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, new InetSocketAddress("example.com", 8080))) .build(); ``` ## Making custom/undocumented requests This library is typed for convenient access to the documented API. If you need to access undocumented params or response properties, the library can still be used. ### Undocumented request params In [Example: creating a resource](#example-creating-a-resource) above, we used the `ChatCompletionCreateParams.builder()` to pass to the `create` method of the `completions` service. Sometimes, the API may support other properties that are not yet supported in the Java SDK types. In that case, you can attach them using raw setters: ```java import com.openai.core.JsonValue; import com.openai.models.ChatCompletionCreateParams; ChatCompletionCreateParams params = ChatCompletionCreateParams.builder() .putAdditionalHeader("Secret-Header", "42") .putAdditionalQueryParam("secret_query_param", "42") .putAdditionalBodyProperty("secretProperty", JsonValue.from("42")) .build(); ``` You can also use the `putAdditionalProperty` method on nested headers, query params, or body objects. ### Undocumented response properties To access undocumented response properties, you can use `res._additionalProperties()` on a response object to get a map of untyped fields of type `Map`. You can then access fields like `res._additionalProperties().get("secret_prop").asString()` or use other helpers defined on the `JsonValue` class to extract it to a desired type. ## Logging We use the standard [OkHttp logging interceptor](https://github.com/square/okhttp/tree/master/okhttp-logging-interceptor). You can enable logging by setting the environment variable `OPENAI_LOG` to `info`. ```sh $ export OPENAI_LOG=info ``` Or to `debug` for more verbose logging. ```sh $ export OPENAI_LOG=debug ``` ## Semantic versioning This package generally follows [SemVer](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html) conventions, though certain backwards-incompatible changes may be released as minor versions: 1. Changes to library internals which are technically public but not intended or documented for external use. _(Please open a GitHub issue to let us know if you are relying on such internals.)_ 2. Changes that we do not expect to impact the vast majority of users in practice. We take backwards-compatibility seriously and work hard to ensure you can rely on a smooth upgrade experience. We are keen for your feedback; please open an [issue](https://www.github.com/openai/openai-java/issues) with questions, bugs, or suggestions.
