• Performance Monitoring: Track model performance and latency for your specific use cases
• Content Safety: Use moderation models to ensure content safety

Troubleshooting

Invalid API Key:

• Verify your API key is correct and hasn't expired
• Check if your account has sufficient credits
• Ensure the API key has the necessary permissions

Rate Limit Exceeded:

• Implement exponential backoff in your requests
• Consider upgrading your OpenAI plan for higher limits
• Monitor your usage in the OpenAI platform

Model Not Available:

• Check if the model is available in your region
• Verify your account has access to the specific model
• Contact OpenAI support for model availability issues

Authentication Errors:

• Ensure your API key is properly formatted
• Check if your account is active and verified
• Verify you're using the correct API endpoint

Content Policy Violations:

• Review OpenAI's content policy guidelines
• Modify prompts to comply with safety standards
• Use system prompts to guide model behavior appropriately

Important Notes

• Keep your API keys secure and never share them
• Check provider's pricing before generating API keys: OpenAI pricing (opens in a new tab)
• Regularly rotate your API keys for enhanced security
• Monitor your usage and costs in the OpenAI platform
• Test your integration after adding each key
• Some models may require additional setup or approval
• Be aware of OpenAI's content policy and safety guidelines
• Consider using moderation models for content safety
