<p>I have a problem. I’m addicted to OpenAI. Every day I find new exciting ways to use it. It’s like somebody gave me a magic stick and I use it for stupid things like cleaning the kitchen. But I cannot help it! So, how to create images with OpenAI in Python? Easy, follow these four steps! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f447.png" alt="?" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<h2>Step 1: Install the OpenAI Python Library</h2>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="512" height="512" src="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-124.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1194871" srcset="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-124.png 512w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-124-300x300.png 300w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-124-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></figure>
</div>
<p>The first step to using OpenAI’s DALL·E in Python is to install the OpenAI Python library. You can do this using <code>pip</code>, a package manager for Python.</p>
<p>Open your terminal and enter the following command:</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="python" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">pip install openai</pre>
<p>I have written a whole tutorial on this topic in case this doesn’t work instantly.</p>

<h2>Step 2: Create an OpenAI API Key</h2>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="512" height="512" src="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-123.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1194870" srcset="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-123.png 512w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-123-300x300.png 300w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-123-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></figure>
</div>
<p>OpenAI is not free for coders — but it’s almost free. I only pay a fraction of a cent for a request, so no need to be cheap here. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f9d1-200d-1f4bb.png" alt="??" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p class="has-global-color-8-background-color has-background">Visit the page <a href="https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys</a> and create a new OpenAI key you can use in your code. Copy&paste the API key because you’ll need it in your coding project!</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="712" src="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-119-1024x712.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1194846" srcset="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-119-1024x712.png 1024w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-119-300x209.png 300w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-119-768x534.png 768w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-119.png 1313w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<h2>Step 3: Authenticate with OpenAI API Key</h2>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="512" height="512" src="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-122.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1194869" srcset="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-122.png 512w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-122-300x300.png 300w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-122-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></figure>
</div>
<p>Next, you’ll need to authenticate with OpenAI’s API key. You can do this by importing the <code>openai_secret_manager</code> module and calling the <code>get_secret()</code> function. This function will retrieve your OpenAI API key from a secure location, and you can use it to authenticate your API requests.</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">import openai_secret_manager
import openai secrets = openai_secret_manager.get_secret("openai") # Authenticate with OpenAI API Key
openai.api_key = secrets["api_key"]
</pre>
<p>If this sounds too complex, you can also use the following easier code in your code script to try it out:</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="5" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">import openai # Authenticate with OpenAI API Key
openai.api_key = 'sk-...'</pre>
<p>The disadvantage is that the secret API key is plainly visible to anybody with access to your code file. Never load this code file into a repository such as GitHub!</p>
<h2>Step 4: Generate Your DALL·E Image</h2>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="512" height="512" src="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-121.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1194868" srcset="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-121.png 512w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-121-300x300.png 300w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-121-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></figure>
</div>
<p>Now that you’re authenticated with OpenAI, you can generate your first DALL·E image. To do this, call the <code>openai.Image.create()</code> function, passing in the model name, prompt, and size of the image you want to create.</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">import openai # Authenticate with OpenAI API Key
openai.api_key = 'sk-...' # Generate images using DALL-E
response = openai.Image.create( model="image-alpha-001", prompt="a coder learning with Finxter", size="512x512"
) print(response.data[0]['url'])</pre>
<p>In the code above, we specified the DALL·E model we wanted to use (<code>image-alpha-001</code>), provided a prompt for the image we wanted to create (<code>a coder learning with Finxter</code>), and specified the size of the image we wanted to create (<code>512x512</code>).</p>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="512" height="512" src="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-120.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1194865" srcset="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-120.png 512w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-120-300x300.png 300w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/image-120-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><code>"a coder learning with Finxter"</code></figcaption></figure>
</div>
<p>Once you’ve generated your image, you can retrieve the image URL from the API response and display it in your Python code or in a web browser.</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">print(response.data[0]['url'])</pre>
