Add Timeout Param

[Justintime50]

The official Python library allows a timeout to be set on requests. It would be really helpful for production applications to be able to set up a timeout on requests so we don't keep our web workers hanging if there is hiccups in connections or issues on the OpenAI side.

Can you make a pull request adding that feature?

[Justintime50]

Hmmm, it doesn't even look like the PSR7 lib that is used here to make HTTP calls supports timeouts at all if I'm looking through their code correctly? Would potentially require a wrapper around the requests to handle this since it's not supported native.

Might it be possible to use one of these options?

• https://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/latest/request-options.html#connect-timeout
• https://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/latest/request-options.html#timeout

Afterall a Guzzle Client is being used by the OpenAI Class

This can now be achieved by using the newly introduced factory:

$client = OpenAI::factory()
    ->withHttpClient(new \GuzzleHttp\Client(['timeout'  => 2.0]))
    ->make();
