Does anybody have an example script that uses the OpenAI API? I would like to feed some copied text for spell checking and grammar requests. It seems easy enough, but I'm looking for any example code that sends input to OpenAI through the API and retrieves the resulting text.

They have lots of examples in the documentation that you can implement via the script actions 
https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/authentication
Here is a subroutine I use in my macros - you need to define your OpenAI API key in the first configuration block (plus your preferred default model)
When calling the subroutine, you can specify any prompt, and it will return the AI response.
Note: This subroutine runs a python3 script; it does not come with macOS anymore, so maybe you need to install it manually: "brew install python3" will do the trick
Here's a sample usage:

This was great. Thanks!!!
Interesting. What's an example usage scenario?
I've assigned the shortcut ⌥S to a custom macro that will select the current line and fix the grammar using an AI prompt.
This is how it looks like:
And here's the macro:

Ok, that's pretty brilliant. I wonder if it might make a good contextual rhyming dictionary. Now that Chat GPT 4o is out, I think the results may prove more useful than before. I'll have a go with it when I get back!
Possibly, though another reading is that the 4a-z schtick is a sign that returns are now diminishing.
The prospect of transubstantiating linguistic vector slurry into some kind of actual knowledge, or even "intelligence" – envisaged (or at least marketed) as a mystery somehow inherent in (massively costly) scaling, and branded as the "coming soon" of a "5.0", does not appear to walk among us ...

EDIT: Solved by executing the command in the first answer here.
Hello Phil,
I'm having troubles to install Python on my iMac running Sonoma. I get an error message.
I tried to change permissions in the Finder. But after repeating the install command, I get the same error message.
Needless to say that I don't know the first thing about Python ...
Perhaps you can help? Thank you in advance!
Cheers,
Hans

I'm using a newly created project API key. Any ideas?
Ditto. I wonder if the API is only for paid accounts? I'm still using the freebie.
-rob.
I'm on a paid account, so I'd wager there's something else amiss. Eager to have a play with this if I can get it working...
That's a certificate error. The cert for https://api.openai.com is valid, but was renewed at the beginning of this month -- perhaps you've got an old version stuck in your keychain?
I might be missing the point of what you're saying but I created the API key yesterday specifically for this purpose.
The error is saying the SSL certificate is not validating -- nothing to do with your API key. Try going to the linked page with Safari and seeing what the "padlock" reveals.
Now you have (hopefully) refreshed the certificate in your Keychain, see if the macro works. If you're still getting the same error, open up Keychain Access, search for "gts", and make sure "GTS Root R1" is valid and its trust is set to "Use system defaults".
Your original error implies the verification server was unavailable -- we're proving a chain of trust exists now, so if there's still a problem it's on the Python side rather than an external issue.
