How to Use Free ChatGPT API Service

[passionforyou]

I’m interested in utilizing a free ChatGPT API service for this project. I’d like to gather insights on how to get started, the best practices, and any potential limitations.

What are the steps to access a free ChatGPT API?
Are there any specific platforms or services recommended for this?
What are the usage limits for free API access?
Are there any rate limits I should be aware of?

Currently, OpenAI only offers paid APIs, but Gemini provides a free version. You can register at https://ai.google.dev (available only in specific regions as per their policy).

import google.generativeai as genai
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv

# Load environment variables from .env file
load_dotenv()
API_KEY = os.getenv('GEMINI_API_KEY')

def get_tag(message):
    try:
        # Set up the Generative AI model
        genai.configure(api_key=API_KEY)
        model = genai.GenerativeModel("gemini-1.5-flash")
        # Generate content and extract tags
        response = model.generate_content(f"Analyze content: {message}")
    except:
        return None
    
    return response.text.lower()
