Setting Up Your OpenAI API Account 🔑

Before accessing the OpenAI API, you need to create an account on the OpenAI platform and generate an API key. Visit platform.openai.com, sign up or log in, and navigate to the API keys section. Click 'Create API Key' to generate a secure token.

This key authenticates your requests and links them to your account, ensuring proper usage tracking and billing. Keep your API key confidential and avoid exposing it in client-side code. For development purposes, store it securely in environment variables or configuration files.
