# Libraries

## Python library

We provide a [Python library](https://github.com/openai/openai-python), which you can install by running:

```bash
pip install openai
```

Once installed, you can use the library and your secret key to run the following:

```python
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
    # Defaults to os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY")
)

chat_completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello world"}]
)
```

The bindings also will install a command-line utility you can use as follows:

```bash
$ openai api chat_completions.create -m gpt-3.5-turbo -g user "Hello world"
```

---

## TypeScript / JavaScript library

We provide a [TypeScript / JavaScript library](https://github.com/openai/openai-node) with support for Node.js and various [other runtimes](https://deno.land/x/openai). Install it by running:

```bash
npm install --save openai
# or
yarn add openai
```

Once installed, you can use the library and your secret key to run the following:

```javascript

const openai = new OpenAI({
    apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
});

const chatCompletion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
    messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Say this is a test" }],
    model: "gpt-3.5-turbo",
});
```

    .NET library Beta


We provide a [.NET library](https://github.com/openai/openai-dotnet), which you can install by running:

```
dotnet add package OpenAI --prerelease
```

Once installed, you can use the library and your secret key to run the following:

```csharp
using OpenAI.Chat;

ChatClient client = new("gpt-3.5-turbo", Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OPENAI_API_KEY"));

ChatCompletion chatCompletion = client.CompleteChat(
    [
        new UserChatMessage("Say 'this is a test.'"),
    ]);
```
