OpenAI App Builder Snippets – Python

Python code snippets for app building using the OpenAI API. This VS Code extension provides a curated collection of ready-to-use Python snippets for developers and AI enthusiasts to accelerate application development with OpenAI’s APIs, including chat, embeddings, function calling, and more.

🚀 Features

• Easy-to-use Python snippets for OpenAI API integration.
• Covers common tasks like:
  • Setting up OpenAI client with API key.
  • Listing available models.
  • Generating responses with simple prompts.
  • Using instructions, roles, and prompt templates.
  • Uploading files and analyzing content.
  • Generating images and audio via OpenAI.
• Snippets are designed based on OpenAI documentation for clarity and practicality.
• Perfect for developers, students, and AI enthusiasts building Python applications with OpenAI.

💡 How It Works

1. Open a Python file in VS Code.
2. Type openai → all available OpenAI snippets will appear in a dropdown list.
3. Choose the snippet you need based on your task.
4. Customize the code (API key, prompt, file path, etc.) as required for your project.

💡 Example Snippets

1. Set up OpenAI client

import os
from openai import OpenAI

openai_client = OpenAI(api_key=os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY'))
2. Generate a simple response
python
Copy code
from openai import OpenAI

openai_client = OpenAI()

response = openai_client.responses.create(
    model='gpt-5',
    input='Compose a cheerful haiku about the morning sun.'
)

print(response.output_text)
3. Analyze an image
python
Copy code
from openai import OpenAI

openai_client = OpenAI()

response = openai_client.responses.create(
    model='gpt-5',
    input=[{
        'role': 'user',
        'content': [
            {'type': 'input_text', 'text': 'What landmark is shown in this photo?'},
            {'type': 'input_image', 'image_url': 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a1/Eiffel_Tower_in_Paris_2020.jpg'}
        ]
    }]
)

print(response.output_text)
