基础请求结构

typescript
{
  model: string,              // Model to use (e.g., "gpt-5")
  messages: Message[],        // Conversation history

}

Response Structure

响应结构

typescript
{
  id: string,                 // Unique completion ID
  object: "chat.completion",
  created: number,            // Unix timestamp
  model: string,              // Model used
  choices: [{
    index: number,
    message: {
      role: "assistant",
      content: string,        // Generated text
      tool_calls?: ToolCall[] // If function calling
    },
    finish_reason: string     // "stop" | "length" | "tool_calls"
  }],
  usage: {
    prompt_tokens: number,
    completion_tokens: number,
    total_tokens: number
  }
}
typescript
{
  id: string,                 // 唯一的补全ID
  object: "chat.completion",
  created: number,            // Unix时间戳
  model: string,              // 使用的模型
  choices: [{
    index: number,
    message: {
      role: "assistant",
      content: string,        // 生成的文本
      tool_calls?: ToolCall[] // 如果调用了函数
    },
    finish_reason: string     // "stop" | "length" | "tool_calls"
  }],
  usage: {
    prompt_tokens: number,
    completion_tokens: number,
    total_tokens: number
  }
}

Message Roles

消息角色

OpenAI supports three message roles:
  1. system (formerly "developer"): Set behavior and context
  2. user: User input
  3. assistant: Model responses
typescript
const messages = [
  {
    role: 'system',
    content: 'You are a helpful assistant that explains complex topics simply.'
  },
  {
    role: 'user',
    content: 'Explain quantum computing to a 10-year-old.'
  }
];
OpenAI支持三种消息角色:
  1. system(原"developer"):设置模型行为和上下文
  2. user:用户输入
  3. assistant:模型的响应
typescript
const messages = [
  {
    role: 'system',
    content: '你是一个乐于助人的助手,能将复杂话题简单化解释。'
  },
  {
    role: 'user',
    content: '给10岁孩子解释量子计算。'
  }
];

Multi-turn Conversations

多轮对话

Build conversation history by appending messages:
typescript
const messages = [
  { role: 'system', content: 'You are a helpful assistant.' },
  { role: 'user', content: 'What is TypeScript?' },
  { role: 'assistant', content: 'TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript...' },
  { role: 'user', content: 'How do I install it?' }
];

const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-5',
  messages: messages,
});
Important: Chat Completions API is stateless. You must send full conversation history with each request. For stateful conversations, use the
openai-responses
skill.

通过追加消息构建对话历史:
typescript
const messages = [
  { role: 'system', content: '你是一个乐于助人的助手。' },
  { role: 'user', content: 'TypeScript是什么?' },
  { role: 'assistant', content: 'TypeScript是JavaScript的超集...' },
  { role: 'user', content: '如何安装它?' }
];

const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-5',
  messages: messages,
});
重要提示:Chat Completions API是无状态的。每次请求都必须发送完整的对话历史。如果需要有状态对话,请使用
openai-responses
技能。

Streaming Patterns

流式传输模式

Streaming allows real-time token-by-token delivery, improving perceived latency for long responses.
流式传输允许实时逐令牌交付响应,提升长文本响应的感知延迟表现。

Enable Streaming

启用流式传输

Set
stream: true
:
typescript
const stream = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-5',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Tell me a story' }],
  stream: true,
});
设置
stream: true
typescript
const stream = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-5',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: '给我讲个故事' }],
  stream: true,
});

Streaming with Node.js SDK

使用Node.js SDK实现流式传输

typescript
import OpenAI from 'openai';

const openai = new OpenAI();

const stream = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-5',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Write a poem about coding' }],
  stream: true,
});

for await (const chunk of stream) {
  const content = chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content || '';
  process.stdout.write(content);
}
typescript
import OpenAI from 'openai';

const openai = new OpenAI();

const stream = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-5',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: '写一首关于编程的诗' }],
  stream: true,
});

for await (const chunk of stream) {
  const content = chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content || '';
  process.stdout.write(content);
}

Streaming with Fetch (Cloudflare Workers)

使用Fetch实现流式传输(Cloudflare Workers)

typescript
const response = await fetch('https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${env.OPENAI_API_KEY}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    model: 'gpt-5',
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Write a poem' }],
    stream: true,
  }),
});

const reader = response.body?.getReader();
const decoder = new TextDecoder();

while (true) {
  const { done, value } = await reader!.read();
  if (done) break;

  const chunk = decoder.decode(value);
  const lines = chunk.split('\n').filter(line => line.trim() !== '');

  for (const line of lines) {
    if (line.startsWith('data: ')) {
      const data = line.slice(6);
      if (data === '[DONE]') break;

      try {
        const json = JSON.parse(data);
        const content = json.choices[0]?.delta?.content || '';
        console.log(content);
      } catch (e) {
        // Skip invalid JSON
      }
    }
  }
}
typescript
const response = await fetch('https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${env.OPENAI_API_KEY}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    model: 'gpt-5',
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: '写一首诗' }],
    stream: true,
  }),
});

const reader = response.body?.getReader();
const decoder = new TextDecoder();

while (true) {
  const { done, value } = await reader!.read();
  if (done) break;

  const chunk = decoder.decode(value);
  const lines = chunk.split('\n').filter(line => line.trim() !== '');

  for (const line of lines) {
    if (line.startsWith('data: ')) {
      const data = line.slice(6);
      if (data === '[DONE]') break;

      try {
        const json = JSON.parse(data);
        const content = json.choices[0]?.delta?.content || '';
        console.log(content);
      } catch (e) {
        // 跳过无效JSON
      }
    }
  }
}

Server-Sent Events (SSE) Format

Server-Sent Events(SSE)格式

Streaming uses Server-Sent Events:
data: {"id":"chatcmpl-xyz","choices":[{"delta":{"role":"assistant"}}]}

data: {"id":"chatcmpl-xyz","choices":[{"delta":{"content":"Hello"}}]}

data: {"id":"chatcmpl-xyz","choices":[{"delta":{"content":" world"}}]}

data: {"id":"chatcmpl-xyz","choices":[{"finish_reason":"stop"}]}

data: [DONE]
流式传输使用Server-Sent Events格式:
data: {"id":"chatcmpl-xyz","choices":[{"delta":{"role":"assistant"}}]}

data: {"id":"chatcmpl-xyz","choices":[{"delta":{"content":"Hello"}}]}

data: {"id":"chatcmpl-xyz","choices":[{"delta":{"content":" world"}}]}

data: {"id":"chatcmpl-xyz","choices":[{"finish_reason":"stop"}]}

data: [DONE]

Streaming Best Practices

流式传输最佳实践

Always handle:
  • Incomplete chunks (buffer partial data)
  • [DONE]
    signal
  • Network errors and retries
  • Invalid JSON (skip gracefully)
Performance:
  • Use streaming for responses >100 tokens
  • Don't stream if you need the full response before processing
Don't:
  • Assume chunks are always complete JSON
  • Forget to close the stream on errors
  • Buffer entire response in memory (defeats streaming purpose)

务必处理
  • 不完整的块(缓存部分数据)
  • [DONE]
    信号
  • 网络错误和重试
  • 无效JSON(优雅跳过)
性能优化
  • 对超过100令牌的响应使用流式传输
  • 如果需要完整响应后再处理,请勿使用流式传输
请勿
  • 假设块始终是完整的JSON
  • 发生错误时忘记关闭流
  • 在内存中缓存整个响应(失去流式传输的意义)

Function Calling

函数调用

Function calling (also called "tool calling") allows models to invoke external functions/tools based on conversation context.
函数调用(也称为"工具调用")允许模型根据对话上下文调用外部函数/工具。

Basic Tool Definition

基础工具定义

typescript
const tools = [
  {
    type: 'function',
    function: {
      name: 'get_weather',
      description: 'Get the current weather for a location',
      parameters: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          location: {
            type: 'string',
            description: 'City name, e.g., San Francisco'
          },
          unit: {
            type: 'string',
            enum: ['celsius', 'fahrenheit'],
            description: 'Temperature unit'
          }
        },
        required: ['location']
      }
    }
  }
];
typescript
const tools = [
  {
    type: 'function',
    function: {
      name: 'get_weather',
      description: '获取指定地点的当前天气',
      parameters: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          location: {
            type: 'string',
            description: '城市名称,例如:San Francisco'
          },
          unit: {
            type: 'string',
            enum: ['celsius', 'fahrenheit'],
            description: '温度单位'
          }
        },
        required: ['location']
      }
    }
  }
];

Making a Request with Tools

携带工具的请求

typescript
const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-5',
  messages: [
    { role: 'user', content: 'What is the weather in San Francisco?' }
  ],
  tools: tools,
});
typescript
const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-5',
  messages: [
    { role: 'user', content: '旧金山的天气怎么样?' }
  ],
  tools: tools,
});

Handling Tool Calls

处理工具调用

typescript
const message = completion.choices[0].message;

if (message.tool_calls) {
  // Model wants to call a function
  for (const toolCall of message.tool_calls) {
    if (toolCall.function.name === 'get_weather') {
      const args = JSON.parse(toolCall.function.arguments);

      // Execute your function
      const weatherData = await getWeather(args.location, args.unit);

      // Send result back to model
      const followUp = await openai.chat.completions.create({
        model: 'gpt-5',
        messages: [
          ...messages,
          message, // Assistant's tool call
          {
            role: 'tool',
            tool_call_id: toolCall.id,
            content: JSON.stringify(weatherData)
          }
        ],
        tools: tools,
      });
    }
  }
}
typescript
const message = completion.choices[0].message;

if (message.tool_calls) {
  // 模型想要调用函数
  for (const toolCall of message.tool_calls) {
    if (toolCall.function.name === 'get_weather') {
      const args = JSON.parse(toolCall.function.arguments);

      // 执行你的函数
      const weatherData = await getWeather(args.location, args.unit);

      // 将结果返回给模型
      const followUp = await openai.chat.completions.create({
        model: 'gpt-5',
        messages: [
          ...messages,
          message, // 助手的工具调用
          {
            role: 'tool',
            tool_call_id: toolCall.id,
            content: JSON.stringify(weatherData)
          }
        ],
        tools: tools,
      });
    }
  }
}

Complete Function Calling Flow

完整的函数调用流程

typescript
async function chatWithTools(userMessage: string) {
  let messages = [
    { role: 'user', content: userMessage }
  ];

  while (true) {
    const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
      model: 'gpt-5',
      messages: messages,
      tools: tools,
    });

    const message = completion.choices[0].message;
    messages.push(message);

    // If no tool calls, we're done
    if (!message.tool_calls) {
      return message.content;
    }

    // Execute all tool calls
    for (const toolCall of message.tool_calls) {
      const result = await executeFunction(toolCall.function.name, toolCall.function.arguments);

      messages.push({
        role: 'tool',
        tool_call_id: toolCall.id,
        content: JSON.stringify(result)
      });
    }
  }
}
typescript
async function chatWithTools(userMessage: string) {
  let messages = [
    { role: 'user', content: userMessage }
  ];

  while (true) {
    const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
      model: 'gpt-5',
      messages: messages,
      tools: tools,
    });

    const message = completion.choices[0].message;
    messages.push(message);

    // 如果没有工具调用,流程结束
    if (!message.tool_calls) {
      return message.content;
    }

    // 执行所有工具调用
    for (const toolCall of message.tool_calls) {
      const result = await executeFunction(toolCall.function.name, toolCall.function.arguments);

      messages.push({
        role: 'tool',
        tool_call_id: toolCall.id,
        content: JSON.stringify(result)
      });
    }
  }
}

Multiple Tools

多工具调用

You can define multiple tools:
typescript
const tools = [
  {
    type: 'function',
    function: {
      name: 'get_weather',
      description: 'Get weather for a location',
      parameters: { /* schema */ }
    }
  },
  {
    type: 'function',
    function: {
      name: 'search_web',
      description: 'Search the web',
      parameters: { /* schema */ }
    }
  },
  {
    type: 'function',
    function: {
      name: 'calculate',
      description: 'Perform calculations',
      parameters: { /* schema */ }
    }
  }
];
The model will choose which tool(s) to call based on the conversation.

你可以定义多个工具:
typescript
const tools = [
  {
    type: 'function',
    function: {
      name: 'get_weather',
      description: '获取指定地点的天气',
      parameters: { /*  schema */ }
    }
  },
  {
    type: 'function',
    function: {
      name: 'search_web',
      description: '网页搜索',
      parameters: { /* schema */ }
    }
  },
  {
    type: 'function',
    function: {
      name: 'calculate',
      description: '执行计算',
      parameters: { /* schema */ }
    }
  }
];
模型会根据对话上下文选择调用哪些工具。

Structured Outputs

结构化输出

Structured outputs allow you to enforce JSON schema validation on model responses.
结构化输出允许你对模型响应强制执行JSON Schema验证。

Using JSON Schema

使用JSON Schema

typescript
const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-4o', // Note: Structured outputs best supported on GPT-4o
  messages: [
    { role: 'user', content: 'Generate a person profile' }
  ],
  response_format: {
    type: 'json_schema',
    json_schema: {
      name: 'person_profile',
      strict: true,
      schema: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          name: { type: 'string' },
          age: { type: 'number' },
          skills: {
            type: 'array',
            items: { type: 'string' }
          }
        },
        required: ['name', 'age', 'skills'],
        additionalProperties: false
      }
    }
  }
});

const person = JSON.parse(completion.choices[0].message.content);
// { name: "Alice", age: 28, skills: ["TypeScript", "React"] }
typescript
const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-4o', // 注意:结构化输出在GPT-4o上支持最佳
  messages: [
    { role: 'user', content: '生成一个人物档案' }
  ],
  response_format: {
    type: 'json_schema',
    json_schema: {
      name: 'person_profile',
      strict: true,
      schema: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          name: { type: 'string' },
          age: { type: 'number' },
          skills: {
            type: 'array',
            items: { type: 'string' }
          }
        },
        required: ['name', 'age', 'skills'],
        additionalProperties: false
      }
    }
  }
});

const person = JSON.parse(completion.choices[0].message.content);
// { name: "Alice", age: 28, skills: ["TypeScript", "React"] }

JSON Mode (Simple)

JSON模式(简单版)

For simpler use cases without strict schema validation:
typescript
const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-5',
  messages: [
    { role: 'user', content: 'List 3 programming languages as JSON' }
  ],
  response_format: { type: 'json_object' }
});

const data = JSON.parse(completion.choices[0].message.content);
Important: When using
response_format
, include "JSON" in your prompt to guide the model.

对于无需严格Schema验证的简单场景:
typescript
const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-5',
  messages: [
    { role: 'user', content: '以JSON格式列出3种编程语言' }
  ],
  response_format: { type: 'json_object' }
});

const data = JSON.parse(completion.choices[0].message.content);
重要提示:使用
response_format
时,请在提示中包含"JSON"来引导模型。

  • 存储更小(减少4-12倍)
  • 相似度搜索更快
  • 内存占用更低
  • 对大多数用例来说质量损失极小

Batch Processing

批量处理

Process multiple texts in a single request:

const embeddings = await openai.embeddings.create({
  model: 'text-embedding-3-small',
  input: [
    'First document text',
    'Second document text',
    'Third document text',
  ],
});

// Access individual embeddings
embeddings.data.forEach((item, index) => {
  console.log(`Embedding ${index}:`, item.embedding);
});
Limits:
  • Max tokens per input: 8192
  • Max summed tokens across all inputs: 300,000
  • Array dimension max: 2048
在单个请求中处理多个文本:
typescript
const embeddings = await openai.embeddings.create({
  model: 'text-embedding-3-small',
  input: [
    '第一篇文档文本',
    '第二篇文档文本',
    '第三篇文档文本',
  ],
});

// 访问单个嵌入向量
embeddings.data.forEach((item, index) => {
  console.log(`嵌入向量 ${index}:`, item.embedding);
});
限制
  • 单输入最大令牌数:8192
  • 所有输入令牌总和最大值:300,000
  • 数组维度最大值:2048

Dimension Reduction Pattern

维度缩减模式

Post-generation truncation (alternative to
dimensions
parameter):
typescript
// Get full embedding
const response = await openai.embeddings.create({
  model: 'text-embedding-3-small',
  input: 'Testing 123',
});

// Truncate to desired dimensions
const fullEmbedding = response.data[0].embedding;
const truncated = fullEmbedding.slice(0, 256);

// Normalize (L2)
function normalizeL2(vector: number[]): number[] {
  const magnitude = Math.sqrt(vector.reduce((sum, val) => sum + val * val, 0));
  return vector.map(val => val / magnitude);
}

const normalized = normalizeL2(truncated);
生成后截断(
dimensions
参数的替代方案):
typescript
// 获取完整嵌入向量
const response = await openai.embeddings.create({
  model: 'text-embedding-3-small',
  input: '测试123',
});

// 截断到所需维度
const fullEmbedding = response.data[0].embedding;
const truncated = fullEmbedding.slice(0, 256);

// 归一化(L2)
function normalizeL2(vector: number[]): number[] {
  const magnitude = Math.sqrt(vector.reduce((sum, val) => sum + val * val, 0));
  return vector.map(val => val / magnitude);
}

const normalized = normalizeL2(truncated);

RAG Integration Pattern

RAG集成模式

Complete retrieval-augmented generation workflow:
typescript
import OpenAI from 'openai';

const openai = new OpenAI();

// 1. Generate embeddings for knowledge base
async function embedKnowledgeBase(documents: string[]) {
  const response = await openai.embeddings.create({
    model: 'text-embedding-3-small',
    input: documents,
  });
  return response.data.map(item => item.embedding);
}

// 2. Embed user query
async function embedQuery(query: string) {
  const response = await openai.embeddings.create({
    model: 'text-embedding-3-small',
    input: query,
  });
  return response.data[0].embedding;
}

// 3. Cosine similarity
function cosineSimilarity(a: number[], b: number[]): number {
  const dotProduct = a.reduce((sum, val, i) => sum + val * b[i], 0);
  const magnitudeA = Math.sqrt(a.reduce((sum, val) => sum + val * val, 0));
  const magnitudeB = Math.sqrt(b.reduce((sum, val) => sum + val * val, 0));
  return dotProduct / (magnitudeA * magnitudeB);
}

// 4. Find most similar documents
async function findSimilar(query: string, knowledgeBase: { text: string, embedding: number[] }[]) {
  const queryEmbedding = await embedQuery(query);

  const results = knowledgeBase.map(doc => ({
    text: doc.text,
    similarity: cosineSimilarity(queryEmbedding, doc.embedding),
  }));

  return results.sort((a, b) => b.similarity - a.similarity);
}

// 5. RAG: Retrieve + Generate
async function rag(query: string, knowledgeBase: { text: string, embedding: number[] }[]) {
  const similarDocs = await findSimilar(query, knowledgeBase);
  const context = similarDocs.slice(0, 3).map(d => d.text).join('\n\n');

  const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
    model: 'gpt-5',
    messages: [
      {
        role: 'system',
        content: `Answer questions using the following context:\n\n${context}`
      },
      {
        role: 'user',
        content: query
      }
    ],
  });

  return completion.choices[0].message.content;
}
完整的检索增强生成工作流:
typescript
import OpenAI from 'openai';

const openai = new OpenAI();

// 1. 为知识库生成嵌入向量
async function embedKnowledgeBase(documents: string[]) {
  const response = await openai.embeddings.create({
    model: 'text-embedding-3-small',
    input: documents,
  });
  return response.data.map(item => item.embedding);
}

// 2. 为用户查询生成嵌入向量
async function embedQuery(query: string) {
  const response = await openai.embeddings.create({
    model: 'text-embedding-3-small',
    input: query,
  });
  return response.data[0].embedding;
}

// 3. 余弦相似度计算
function cosineSimilarity(a: number[], b: number[]): number {
  const dotProduct = a.reduce((sum, val, i) => sum + val * b[i], 0);
  const magnitudeA = Math.sqrt(a.reduce((sum, val) => sum + val * val, 0));
  const magnitudeB = Math.sqrt(b.reduce((sum, val) => sum + val * val, 0));
  return dotProduct / (magnitudeA * magnitudeB);
}

// 4. 查找最相似的文档
async function findSimilar(query: string, knowledgeBase: { text: string, embedding: number[] }[]) {
  const queryEmbedding = await embedQuery(query);

  const results = knowledgeBase.map(doc => ({
    text: doc.text,
    similarity: cosineSimilarity(queryEmbedding, doc.embedding),
  }));

  return results.sort((a, b) => b.similarity - a.similarity);
}

// 5. RAG:检索 + 生成
async function rag(query: string, knowledgeBase: { text: string, embedding: number[] }[]) {
  const similarDocs = await findSimilar(query, knowledgeBase);
  const context = similarDocs.slice(0, 3).map(d => d.text).join('\n\n');

  const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
    model: 'gpt-5',
    messages: [
      {
        role: 'system',
        content: `使用以下上下文回答问题:\n\n${context}`
      },
      {

Embeddings Best Practices

嵌入向量最佳实践

Model Selection:
  • Use
    text-embedding-3-small
    for most applications (1536 dims, cost-effective)
  • Use
    text-embedding-3-large
    for highest quality (3072 dims)
Performance:
  • Batch embed up to 2048 documents per request
  • Use custom dimensions (256-512) for storage/speed optimization
  • Cache embeddings (they're deterministic for same input)
Accuracy:
  • Normalize embeddings before storing (L2 normalization)
  • Use cosine similarity for comparison
  • Preprocess text consistently (lowercasing, removing special chars)
Don't:
  • Exceed 8192 tokens per input (will error)
  • Sum >300k tokens across batch (will error)
  • Mix models (incompatible dimensions)
  • Forget to normalize when using truncated embeddings

模型选择
  • 大多数应用使用
    text-embedding-3-small
    (1536维度,高性价比)
  • 最高质量需求使用
    text-embedding-3-large
    (3072维度)
性能优化
  • 批量嵌入最多2048个文档/请求
  • 使用自定义维度(256-512)优化存储和速度
  • 缓存嵌入向量(相同输入的结果是确定性的)
准确性
  • 存储前对嵌入向量进行归一化(L2归一化)
  • 使用余弦相似度进行比较
  • 一致地预处理文本(小写、移除特殊字符)
请勿
  • 单输入超过8192令牌(会报错)
  • 批量令牌总和超过300k(会报错)
  • 混合使用不同模型(维度不兼容)
  • 使用截断嵌入向量时忘记归一化

Images Best Practices

图片API最佳实践

Prompting:
  • Be specific about details (colors, composition, style)
  • Include artistic style references ("oil painting", "photograph", "3D render")
  • Specify lighting ("golden hour", "studio lighting", "dramatic shadows")
  • DALL-E 3 may revise prompts; check
    revised_prompt
Performance:
  • Use
    "standard"
    quality unless HD details are critical
  • Use
    "natural"
    style for realistic images
  • Use
    "vivid"
    style for marketing/artistic images
  • Cache generated images (they're non-deterministic)
Cost Optimization:
  • Standard quality is cheaper than HD
  • Smaller sizes cost less
  • Use appropriate size for your use case (don't generate 1792x1024 if you need 512x512)
Don't:
  • Request multiple images with DALL-E 3 (n=1 only)
  • Expect deterministic output (same prompt = different images)
  • Use URLs that expire (save images if needed long-term)
  • Forget to handle revised prompts (DALL-E 3 modifies for safety)

提示技巧
  • 明确细节(颜色、构图、风格)
  • 包含艺术风格参考("油画"、"照片"、"3D渲染")
  • 指定光线("黄金时刻"、"演播室灯光"、"戏剧性阴影")
  • DALL-E 3可能修改提示,检查
    revised_prompt
性能优化
  • 除非需要高清细节,否则使用
    "standard"
    质量
  • 写实图片使用
    "natural"
    风格
  • 营销/艺术图片使用
    "vivid"
    风格
  • 缓存生成的图片(结果是非确定性的)
成本优化
  • 标准质量比高清便宜
  • 更小尺寸成本更低
  • 根据使用场景选择合适尺寸(不需要1792x1024就别生成)
请勿
  • DALL-E 3请求多张图片(仅支持n=1)
  • 期望确定性输出(相同提示会生成不同图片)
  • 使用过期URL(长期需要请保存图片)
  • 忽略修改后的提示(DALL-E 3会为安全修改)

  • Whisper handles multiple languages automatically
  • Works best with clean audio (minimal background noise)
Text-to-Speech:
  • Use
    tts-1
    for real-time/streaming (lowest latency)
  • Use
    tts-1-hd
    for higher quality offline audio
  • Use
    gpt-4o-mini-tts
    for voice instructions and streaming
  • Choose voice based on use case (alloy for neutral, onyx for authoritative, etc.)
  • Test different voices to find best fit
  • Use instructions (gpt-4o-mini-tts) for fine-grained control
Performance:
  • Cache generated audio (deterministic for same input)
  • Use opus format for web streaming (smaller file size)
  • Use mp3 for maximum compatibility
  • Stream audio with
    stream_format: "sse"
    for real-time playback
Don't:
  • Exceed 4096 characters for TTS input
  • Use instructions with tts-1 or tts-1-hd (not supported)
  • Use streaming with tts-1/tts-1-hd (use gpt-4o-mini-tts)
  • Assume transcription is perfect (always review important content)

转录
  • 使用支持的格式(mp3、wav、m4a)
  • 确保音频质量清晰
  • Whisper自动处理多种语言
  • 在干净音频(背景噪音小)下表现最佳
文字转语音
  • 实时/流式传输使用
    tts-1
    (延迟最低)
  • 高质量离线音频使用
    tts-1-hd
  • 语音指令和流式传输使用
    gpt-4o-mini-tts
  • 根据使用场景选择音色(alloy中性、onyx权威等)
  • 测试不同音色找到最佳匹配
  • 使用指令(gpt-4o-mini-tts)进行细粒度控制
性能优化
  • 缓存生成的音频(相同输入的结果是确定性的)
  • 网页流式传输使用opus格式(文件更小)
  • 最大兼容性使用mp3格式
  • 使用
    stream_format: "sse"
    流式传输音频实现实时播放
请勿
  • TTS输入超过4096字符
  • 在tts-1或tts-1-hd上使用指令(不支持)
  • 在tts-1/tts-1-hd上使用流式传输(使用gpt-4o-mini-tts)
  • 假设转录结果完美(重要内容务必审核)

Moderation Best Practices

审核API最佳实践

Safety:
  • Always moderate user-generated content before storing/displaying
  • Use lower thresholds for child safety (
    sexual/minors
    )
  • Block immediately on severe categories
  • Log all flagged content for review
User Experience:
  • Provide clear feedback when content is flagged
  • Allow users to edit and resubmit
  • Explain which policy was violated (without revealing detection details)
  • Implement appeals process for false positives
Performance:
  • Batch moderate multiple inputs (up to array limit)
  • Cache moderation results for identical content
  • Moderate before expensive operations (AI generation, storage)
  • Use async moderation for non-critical flows
Compliance:
  • Keep audit logs of all moderation decisions
  • Implement human review for borderline cases
  • Update thresholds based on your community standards
  • Comply with local content regulations
Don't:
  • Skip moderation on "trusted" users (all UGC should be checked)
  • Rely solely on
    flagged
    boolean (check specific categories)
  • Ignore category scores (they provide nuance)
  • Use moderation as sole content policy enforcement (combine with human review)

安全
  • 用户生成内容存储/展示前务必审核
  • 儿童安全类别(
    sexual/minors
    )使用更低阈值
  • 严重类别立即拦截
  • 记录所有标记内容用于审核
用户体验
  • 内容被标记时提供清晰反馈
  • 允许用户编辑并重新提交
  • 说明违反的政策(不透露检测细节)
  • 为误判内容提供申诉流程
性能优化
  • 批量审核多个输入(不超过数组限制)
  • 相同内容缓存审核结果
  • 昂贵操作(AI生成、存储)前先审核
  • 非关键流程使用异步审核
合规性
  • 保留所有审核决策的审计日志
  • 边界情况实现人工审核
  • 根据社区标准更新阈值
  • 遵守当地内容法规
请勿
  • 跳过"可信"用户的审核(所有UGC都应检查)
  • 仅依赖
    flagged
    布尔值(检查具体类别)
  • 忽略类别分数(提供更多细节)
  • 将审核作为唯一内容政策执行(结合人工审核)

Error Handling

Rate Limit Error (429)

速率限制错误(429)

typescript
try {
  const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({ /* ... */ });
} catch (error) {
  if (error.status === 429) {
    // Rate limit exceeded - implement exponential backoff
    console.error('Rate limit exceeded. Retry after delay.');
  }
}
typescript
try {
  const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({ /* ... */ });
} catch (error) {
  if (error.status === 429) {
    // 超出速率限制 - 实现指数退避
    console.error('超出速率限制,延迟后重试。');
  }
}

Invalid API Key (401)

无效API密钥(401)

typescript
try {
  const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({ /* ... */ });
} catch (error) {
  if (error.status === 401) {
    console.error('Invalid API key. Check OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable.');
  }
}
typescript
try {
  const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({ /* ... */ });
} catch (error) {
  if (error.status === 401) {
    console.error('API密钥无效,请检查OPENAI_API_KEY环境变量。');
  }
}

Exponential Backoff Pattern

指数退避模式

typescript
async function completionWithRetry(params, maxRetries = 3) {
  for (let i = 0; i < maxRetries; i++) {
    try {
      return await openai.chat.completions.create(params);
    } catch (error) {
      if (error.status === 429 && i < maxRetries - 1) {
        const delay = Math.pow(2, i) * 1000; // 1s, 2s, 4s
        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, delay));
        continue;
      }
      throw error;
    }
  }
}

typescript
async function completionWithRetry(params, maxRetries = 3) {
  for (let i = 0; i < maxRetries; i++) {
    try {
      return await openai.chat.completions.create(params);
    } catch (error) {
      if (error.status === 429 && i < maxRetries - 1) {
        const delay = Math.pow(2, i) * 1000; // 1秒, 2秒, 4秒
        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, delay));
        continue;
      }
      throw error;
    }
  }
}

Rate Limits

速率限制

Understanding Rate Limits

理解速率限制

OpenAI enforces rate limits based on:
  • RPM: Requests Per Minute
  • TPM: Tokens Per Minute
  • IPM: Images Per Minute (for DALL-E)
Limits vary by:
  • Usage tier (Free, Tier 1-5)
  • Model (GPT-5 has different limits than GPT-4)
  • Organization settings
OpenAI基于以下指标实施速率限制:
  • RPM:每分钟请求数
  • TPM:每分钟令牌数
  • IPM:每分钟图片数(针对DALL-E)
限制因以下因素而异:
  • 使用层级(免费、1-5级)
  • 模型(GPT-5与GPT-4限制不同)
  • 组织设置

Checking Rate Limit Headers

检查速率限制头信息

typescript
const response = await fetch('https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ /* ... */ }),
});

console.log(response.headers.get('x-ratelimit-limit-requests'));
console.log(response.headers.get('x-ratelimit-remaining-requests'));
console.log(response.headers.get('x-ratelimit-reset-requests'));
typescript
const response = await fetch('https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ /* ... */ }),
});

console.log(response.headers.get('x-ratelimit-limit-requests'));
console.log(response.headers.get('x-ratelimit-remaining-requests'));
console.log(response.headers.get('x-ratelimit-reset-requests'));

Best Practices

最佳实践

Implement exponential backoff for 429 errors ✅ Monitor rate limit headers to avoid hitting limits ✅ Batch requests when possible (e.g., embeddings) ✅ Use appropriate models (don't use GPT-5 for simple tasks) ✅ Cache responses when appropriate

对429错误实现指数退避监控速率限制头信息以避免触发限制可能时批量请求(例如嵌入向量) ✅ 使用合适的模型(简单任务不要用GPT-5) ✅ 合适时缓存响应

Production Best Practices

生产环境最佳实践

Security

安全

Never expose API keys in client-side code
typescript
// ❌ Bad - API key in browser
const apiKey = 'sk-...'; // Visible to users!

// ✅ Good - Server-side proxy
// Client calls your backend, which calls OpenAI
Use environment variables
bash
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
Implement server-side proxy for browser apps
typescript
// Your backend endpoint
app.post('/api/chat', async (req, res) => {
  const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
    model: 'gpt-5',
    messages: req.body.messages,
  });
  res.json(completion);
});
绝不在客户端代码中暴露API密钥
typescript
// ❌ 错误 - API密钥在浏览器中可见
const apiKey = 'sk-...'; // 用户可以看到!

// ✅ 正确 - 服务器端代理
// 客户端调用你的后端,后端调用OpenAI
使用环境变量
bash
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
为浏览器应用实现服务器端代理
typescript
// 你的后端端点
app.post('/api/chat', async (req, res) => {
  const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
    model: 'gpt-5',
    messages: req.body.messages,
  });
  res.json(completion);
});

Performance

性能

Use streaming for long-form content (>100 tokens) ✅ Set appropriate max_tokens to control costs and latency ✅ Cache responses when queries are repeated ✅ Choose appropriate models:
  • GPT-5-nano for simple tasks
  • GPT-5 for complex reasoning
  • GPT-4o for vision tasks
长文本内容(>100令牌)使用流式传输设置合适的max_tokens控制成本和延迟重复查询缓存响应选择合适的模型:
  • 简单任务用GPT-5-nano
  • 复杂推理用GPT-5
  • 视觉任务用GPT-4o

Cost Optimization

成本优化

Select right model:
  • gpt-5-nano: Cheapest, fastest
  • gpt-5-mini: Balance of cost/quality
  • gpt-5: Best quality, most expensive
Limit max_tokens:
typescript
{
  max_tokens: 500, // Don't generate more than needed
}
Use caching:
typescript
const cache = new Map();

async function getCachedCompletion(prompt) {
  if (cache.has(prompt)) {
    return cache.get(prompt);
  }

  const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
    model: 'gpt-5',
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: prompt }],
  });

  cache.set(prompt, completion);
  return completion;
}
选择正确的模型:
  • gpt-5-nano:最便宜、最快
  • gpt-5-mini:成本与质量平衡
  • gpt-5:质量最好、最贵
限制max_tokens:
typescript
{
  max_tokens: 500, // 不要生成超出需要的内容
}
使用缓存:
typescript
const cache = new Map();

async function getCachedCompletion(prompt) {
  if (cache.has(prompt)) {
    return cache.get(prompt);
  }

  const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
    model: 'gpt-5',
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: prompt }],
  });

  cache.set(prompt, completion);
  return completion;
}

Error Handling

错误处理

Wrap all API calls in try-catch ✅ Provide user-friendly error messagesLog errors for debugging ✅ Implement retries for transient failures
typescript
try {
  const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({ /* ... */ });
} catch (error) {
  console.error('OpenAI API error:', error);

  // User-friendly message
  return {
    error: 'Sorry, I encountered an issue. Please try again.',
  };
}

所有API调用包裹在try-catch中提供用户友好的错误消息记录错误用于调试临时故障实现重试
typescript
try {
  const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({ /* ... */ });
} catch (error) {
  console.error('OpenAI API错误:', error);

  // 用户友好的消息
  return {
    error: '抱歉,我遇到了问题,请重试。',
  };
}
