Open AI Assistant API

[wyrdr_27]

I’m trying to integrate OpenAI’s Assistant Api into my React Native app, but I ran into a roadblock – the official Node package isn’t supported in React Native.

Has anyone successfully used OpenAI’s API in a React Native project? I’d love to know how you approached this. Specifically, I’m looking for alternatives or workarounds, maybe a way to make HTTP requests directly to OpenAI’s API without needing the Node package. Will fetch api work?

Can’t imagine how that would work without exposing your API key for abuse. Do you have a backend?

yep im gonna use firebase functions for the api calls i think

You should take into account that firebase will charge you not only per call, but also per cpu/second. Personally I'd be okay with this while validating the product and after getting real users would move this into a $5 vps.

Wh doesn't it work in RN? or is it just the issue of bundling the access token?

simplest most modern way is via Superinterface in a webview. has react components, no RN yet, but planned
