A simple C# .NET client library for OpenAI to use though their RESTful API.
Independently developed, this is not an official library and I am not affiliated with OpenAI.
An OpenAI API account is required.
You use the OpenAIAuthentication when you initialize the API as shown:
Pass keys directly with constructor
:warning: We recommended using the environment variables to load the API key instead of having it hard coded in your source. It is not recommended use this method in production, but only for accepting user credentials, local testing and quick start scenarios.
var api = new OpenAIClient("sk-apiKey");
Or create a OpenAIAuthentication object manually
var api = new OpenAIClient(new OpenAIAuthentication("sk-apiKey", "org-yourOrganizationId"));
Load key from configuration file
Attempts to load api keys from a configuration file, by default .openai in the current directory, optionally traversing up the directory tree or in the user's home directory.
To create a configuration file, create a new text file named .openai and containing the line:
your-resource-name The name of your Azure OpenAI Resource.
deployment-id The deployment name you chose when you deployed the model.
api-version The API version to use for this operation. This follows the YYYY-MM-DD format.
To setup the client to use your deployment, you'll need to pass in OpenAIClientSettings into the client constructor.
var auth = new OpenAIAuthentication("sk-apiKey");
var settings = new OpenAIClientSettings(resourceName: "your-resource-name", deploymentId: "deployment-id", apiVersion: "api-version");
var api = new OpenAIClient(auth, settings);
Authenticate with MSAL as usual and get access token, then use the access token when creating your OpenAIAuthentication. Then be sure to set useAzureActiveDirectory to true when creating your OpenAIClientSettings.
// get your access token using any of the MSAL methods
var accessToken = result.AccessToken;
var auth = new OpenAIAuthentication(accessToken);
var settings = new OpenAIClientSettings(resourceName: "your-resource", deploymentId: "deployment-id", apiVersion: "api-version", useActiveDirectoryAuthentication: true);
var api = new OpenAIClient(auth, settings);
Using either the OpenAI-DotNet or com.openai.unity packages directly in your front-end app may expose your API keys and other sensitive information. To mitigate this risk, it is recommended to set up an intermediate API that makes requests to OpenAI on behalf of your front-end app. This library can be utilized for both front-end and intermediary host configurations, ensuring secure communication with the OpenAI API.
Front End Example
In the front end example, you will need to securely authenticate your users using your preferred OAuth provider. Once the user is authenticated, exchange your custom auth token with your API key on the backend.
After successful authentication, create a new OpenAIAuthentication object and pass in the custom token with the prefix sess-.
Create a new OpenAIClientSettings object and specify the domain where your intermediate API is located.
Pass your new auth and settings objects to the OpenAIClient constructor when you create the client instance.
Here's an example of how to set up the front end:
var authToken = await LoginAsync();
var auth = new OpenAIAuthentication($"sess-{authToken}");
var settings = new OpenAIClientSettings(domain: "api.your-custom-domain.com");
var api = new OpenAIClient(auth, settings);
This setup allows your front end application to securely communicate with your backend that will be using the OpenAI-DotNet-Proxy, which then forwards requests to the OpenAI API. This ensures that your OpenAI API keys and other sensitive information remain secure throughout the process.
Back End Example
In this example, we demonstrate how to set up and use OpenAIProxyStartup in a new ASP.NET Core web app. The proxy server will handle authentication and forward requests to the OpenAI API, ensuring that your API keys and other sensitive information remain secure.
Create a new class that inherits from AbstractAuthenticationFilter and override the ValidateAuthentication method. This will implement the IAuthenticationFilter that you will use to check user session token against your internal server.
In Program.cs, create a new proxy web application by calling OpenAIProxyStartup.CreateDefaultHost method, passing your custom AuthenticationFilter as a type argument.
Create OpenAIAuthentication and OpenAIClientSettings as you would normally with your API keys, org id, or Azure settings.
public partial class Program
{
private class AuthenticationFilter : AbstractAuthenticationFilter
{
public override void ValidateAuthentication(IHeaderDictionary request)
{
// You will need to implement your own class to properly test
// custom issued tokens you've setup for your end users.
if (!request.Authorization.ToString().Contains(userToken))
{
throw new AuthenticationException("User is not authorized");
}
}
}
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
var auth = OpenAIAuthentication.LoadFromEnv();
var settings = new OpenAIClientSettings(/* your custom settings if using Azure OpenAI */);
var openAIClient = new OpenAIClient(auth, settings);
var proxy = OpenAIProxyStartup.CreateDefaultHost<AuthenticationFilter>(args, openAIClient);
proxy.Run();
}
}
Once you have set up your proxy server, your end users can now make authenticated requests to your proxy api instead of directly to the OpenAI API. The proxy server will handle authentication and forward requests to the OpenAI API, ensuring that your API keys and other sensitive information remain secure.

When using JSON mode, always instruct the model to produce JSON via some message in the conversation, for example via your system message. If you don't include an explicit instruction to generate JSON, the model may generate an unending stream of whitespace and the request may run continually until it reaches the token limit. To help ensure you don't forget, the API will throw an error if the string "JSON" does not appear somewhere in the context.
The JSON in the message the model returns may be partial (i.e. cut off) if finish_reason is length, which indicates the generation exceeded max_tokens or the conversation exceeded the token limit. To guard against this, check finish_reason before parsing the response.
JSON mode will not guarantee the output matches any specific schema, only that it is valid and parses without errors.

var api = new OpenAIClient();
var response = await api.CompletionsEndpoint.CreateCompletionAsync("One Two Three One Two", temperature: 0.1, model: Model.Davinci);

Streaming allows you to get results are they are generated, which can help your application feel more responsive, especially on slow models like Davinci.

This library is licensed CC-0, in the public domain. You can use it for whatever you want, publicly or privately, without worrying about permission or licensing or whatever. It's just a wrapper around the OpenAI API, so you still need to get access to OpenAI from them directly. I am not affiliated with OpenAI and this library is not endorsed by them, I just have beta access and wanted to make a C# library to access it more easily. Hopefully others find this useful as well. Feel free to open a PR if there's anything you want to contribute.
