}Message Roles
消息角色
OpenAI supports three message roles:
- system (formerly "developer"): Set behavior and context
- user: User input
- 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:
- system(原"developer"):设置模型行为和上下文
- user:用户输入
- 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 skill.
openai-responses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,请使用技能。

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: truetypescript
const stream = await openai.chat.completions.create({
model: 'gpt-5',
messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Tell me a story' }],
stream: true,
});设置:
stream: truetypescript
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)
- signal
[DONE] - 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)
- 信号
[DONE] - 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 , include "JSON" in your prompt to guide the model.
response_format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:使用时,请在提示中包含"JSON"来引导模型。
response_formatVision (GPT-4o)
视觉功能(GPT-4o)
GPT-4o supports image understanding alongside text.
GPT-4o支持图像理解与文本交互。
Image via URL
通过URL传入图片
typescript
const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
model: 'gpt-4o',
messages: [
{
role: 'user',
content: [
{ type: 'text', text: 'What is in this image?' },
{
type: 'image_url',
image_url: {
url: 'https://example.com/image.jpg'
}
}
]
}
]
});typescript
const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
model: 'gpt-4o',
messages: [
{
role: 'user',
content: [
{ type: 'text', text: '这张图片里有什么?' },
{
type: 'image_url',
image_url: {
url: 'https://example.com/image.jpg'
}
}
]
}
]
});Image via Base64

}Custom Dimensions
自定义维度
Control embedding dimensions to reduce storage/processing:
typescript
const embedding = await openai.embeddings.create({
model: 'text-embedding-3-small',
input: 'Sample text',
dimensions: 256, // Reduced from 1536 default
});Supported ranges:
- : 256-3072
text-embedding-3-large - : 256-1536
text-embedding-3-small
Benefits:
- Smaller storage (4x-12x reduction)
- Faster similarity search
- Lower memory usage
- Minimal quality loss for many use cases
控制嵌入向量维度以减少存储和处理成本:
typescript
const embedding = await openai.embeddings.create({
model: 'text-embedding-3-small',
input: '示例文本',
dimensions: 256, // 从默认1536减少
});支持范围:
- :256-3072
text-embedding-3-large - :256-1536
text-embedding-3-small
优势:
- 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:
typescript
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 parameter):
dimensionstypescript
// 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(参数的替代方案):
dimensionstypescript
// 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

}Embeddings Best Practices
嵌入向量最佳实践
✅ Model Selection:
- Use for most applications (1536 dims, cost-effective)
text-embedding-3-small - Use for highest quality (3072 dims)
text-embedding-3-large
✅ 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(1536维度,高性价比)
text-embedding-3-small - 最高质量需求使用(3072维度)
text-embedding-3-large
✅ 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

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 quality unless HD details are critical
"standard" - Use style for realistic images
"natural" - Use style for marketing/artistic images
"vivid" - 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,否则使用质量
"standard" - 写实图片使用风格
"natural" - 营销/艺术图片使用风格
"vivid" - 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)

音频API最佳实践
✅ Transcription:
- Use supported formats (mp3, wav, m4a)
- Ensure clear audio quality
- Whisper handles multiple languages automatically
- Works best with clean audio (minimal background noise)
✅ Text-to-Speech:
- Use for real-time/streaming (lowest latency)
tts-1 - Use for higher quality offline audio
tts-1-hd - Use for voice instructions and streaming
gpt-4o-mini-tts - 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 for real-time playback
stream_format: "sse"
❌ 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(延迟最低)
tts-1 - 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
- 使用流式传输音频实现实时播放
stream_format: "sse"
❌ 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 boolean (check specific categories)
flagged - 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()使用更低阈值
sexual/minors - 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)
- 仅依赖布尔值(检查具体类别)
flagged - 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)

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 {

}
}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

}
}
}typescript
async function completionWithRetry(params, maxRetries = 3) {
for (let i = 0; i < maxRetries; i++) {
try {

} catch (error) {
if (error.status === 429 && i < maxRetries - 1) {

}
}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 messages
✅ Log 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。',
};
