Confusion

  1. A simple login entry point doesn't have any introduction to how to get keys!
  2. It seem to ask for an organization!
  3. I have a personal account that is paid for!
  4. No icon or link that walks step by step for the keys!
  5. Hopefully the links below will introduce and clarify these!
  6. The ChatGPT instructions seem to be wrong!! ouch!!!

Profile woes

  1. Don't let me see the profile from login page
  2. I seem to have a link to it directly: https://platform.openai.com/settings/profile/user instead

Apparently

  1. There is an org called Personal
  2. It has an ID
  3. Seem to enable some fine tuning capabilities
  4. Disable keys for entire org
  5. What does it mean to have projects in an org in a personal org?

Restated goal

  1. I am paid personal user
  2. I want to use the API for learning and experimentation from python apps
  3. How to create an API for such purposes (as briefly as possible)
  4. Options necessary while creating the API
  5. What is a cheap model for experimenting with Agentic
  6. Where to monitor the usage of the API once in operation

In brief

  1. Each personal user has a default org called personal
  2. Has a default project called "default project"
  3. the key is created underneath it
  4. If you pay already, the API payments are added to that and billed
  5. Personal accounts don't have access to service accounts
  6. You can have projects if needed, but easier for learning under one key
  7. Use "All" as permission to APIs
