Can you please provide more details on the error you're seeing, including some code snippets for how you're using this package?

This error could mean almost anything, and I won't be able to help without more info.

[transitive-bullshit]

Can you paste the full JS/TS code that you're using to call ChatGPTAPI?

Also, which Node.js version are you using?

[Charhua]

您能否提供有关您看到的错误的更多详细信息，包括您如何使用此软件包的一些代码片段？此错误可能意味着几乎任何事情，如果没有更多信息，我将无法提供帮助。

Yes, I believe that IP addresses in China are banned from calling the OpenAI API.

If you have this problem, you have a few workarounds:

1. Use a proxy and pass a custom fetch to the ChatGPTAPI constructor which uses you proxy. Note: you'll still need a valid OpenAI API key from their website.
2. Using a VPN might solve your problem, depending on how aggressive the firewall is.
3. Use ChatGPTUnofficialProxyAPI instead of ChatGPTAPI, which may not have the same IP bans.

[Kylin93CN]

axios has the "proxy" function, but chatGPTAPI use the 'origin fetch' TAT

Can you add a proxy option in ChatGPTAPI, please?

[ws02589111]

Can you add a proxy option in ChatGPTAPI, please?

This code can help you

npm install https-proxy-agent node-fetch

const api = new ChatGPTAPI({
  fetch: (url, options = {}) => {
        const defaultOptions = {
            agent: require('https-proxy-agent')('http://your-proxy-address:port')
        };

        const mergedOptions = {
            ...defaultOptions,
            ...options
        };

        return require('node-fetch').default(url, mergedOptions);
    }
})

Yes, I encountered the same mistake. My project has been put into operation in production

Using ChatGPTUnofficialProxyAPI also can not in China

I can get result by using curl, but also fetch failed.

[mamahui]

ok, i tried， but i'm fialed;

this is my code please help me check this code thanks;

const api = new ChatGPTAPI({ apiKey, fetch: (url, options = {}) => { const defaultOptions = { agent: require('https-proxy-agent')('http://127.0.0.1:8899') };

const mergedOptions = {
  ...defaultOptions,
  ...options
};

return require('node-fetch').default(url, mergedOptions);

} });

[mamahui]

sorry to ask ; but i really want to know how to get the 'http://your-proxy-address:port' thanks

[brooklynb7]

This works for me. Thanks all guys!

import { ChatGPTAPI } from "chatgpt";
import proxy from "https-proxy-agent";
import nodeFetch from "node-fetch";

async function example() {
  const api = new ChatGPTAPI({
    apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY || "",
    fetch: (url, options = {}) => {
      const defaultOptions = {
        agent: proxy("http://proxy"),
      };

      const mergedOptions = {
        ...defaultOptions,
        ...options,
      };

      return nodeFetch(url, mergedOptions);
    },
  });

  const res = await api.sendMessage("Hello World!");
  console.log(res.text);
}

[mamahui]

" http://proxy" this address get from where thanks

[gefeiyanga]

" http://proxy" this address get from where thanks

Such as http://127.0.0.1:1234 It is your Proxy address.

[gefeiyanga]

But I got 'Error: OpenAI error 503' sometimes.

[mamahui]

i set this. but get no replay from openAI

[huluohu]

It's Work
