This is what i was looking for the past 3 days. NO matter how many key words i used, youtube just recommended videos which have nothing to do with building an actual gpt by integrating an API. Thank you so much dude, subscribed !

[shewhoisaudacious]

Hey Corbin, the fact that you’re even doing this for US and breaking things down in such details and providing much needed support is beyond anything we can ask for.

Just know that the way you give your tutorials is just PERFECT. Perfectly you and I appreciate all of you.

You’re deeply appreciated JUST as you are. ❤

[saralynnech]

This is golden. I've clicked on several videos that say they're going to teach this and then they do not. Thanks for never putting out pointless clickbait!

[PaulMoreira]

This year I’m grateful for running into you brother. Your videos are great and very detailed oriented which helps me understand the actions and api part of GPTs. Thank you.

[shewhoisaudacious]

That pigeon break had me cracking up. So random and so funny. Love you Corbin.

[diedforurwins]

Wow dude you’re the only one who I’ve found actually going through this in depth

[shewhoisaudacious]

I didn't know what to expect before watching this one. I thought it may be too hard for me to understand but you broke this down so well and I feel so good at the end. Thanks again Corbin.

[gulbengozu]

This is gold, mine wouldn't have worked without this tutorial. Thanks A LOT!!!

[fernandoromero]

We need the gpts api integrated on a website tutorial!

[crosspeaksolutions]

Great video! Yes, I have the same issue with the API Key as you did. I also experienced the issue with the The hard code of the API in the description is crazy. The fact the bug still exists after 2 months is even crazier! I have been tracking it on the Developer Forum and have a number of bugs submitted. Liked and Subscribed! Keep doing gods work!

Super clear and amazing video tutorial Corbin! Thanks for creating this!

[cesaredemon]

Thank you for another great video. I was struggling with the API key in your previous video (used up my limit twice...), then decided to move on to this video, and got the solution for the custom api key issue and then used up my limit again 🤣...and I do agree that when you are building a GPT, left side ("Create") works better than right side ("Preview"). For me, the left side gave me exactly what I want and with the same question the right side gave me random things, and when I asked my GPT why are you being inconsistent between the two sides, it told me to refresh🙃. After the refresh, my limit was gone... I did not reach the limit until I started to learn with your videos. So thank you again for this!!!

GPT been gaslighting me into insanity with that API key. Thanks for the help!

API Key info - I notice on this news site it's asking you to put the API Key in the query which I think is causing problems - notably, if you need to include it in your schema, the GPT will interact with it as a field that can be GPT-generated, i.e. it will put in random tests, like the one you mentioned earlier in the video. It will probably also notify users of what it's about to send the server and the since the API Key is part of the schema, it'll probably display this to any user of your GPT, which isn't ideal.
I am new to this technology, both GPTs and setting up my own website API, but I have found that you do not need to include the API Key anywhere in the schema, thankfully - doing so opens it up to be viewed by the user. What works for me without issue is going into the Authentication panel, selecting API Key and then Custom. In the lower box just put in whatever header your key goes with, x-api-key, apikey, api_key or whatever and it gets transmitted privately from the GPT and the user. I'm not sure if this also works when the site is looking for the API key in the query, but worth a shot to keep it unaffected by the GPT and private.

The thing I'm currently stuck with is POST methods. I can't seem to get it to send the x-www-form-urlencoded body, instead it's just adding a load of it's own random parameters which don't appear in the schema - timestamps, author, version, model, colour, size, model, animal etc. etc.

thank you so much. amazing video. after lots of efforts i finally created gpt successfully.

[taonisuka]

Great, VDO, I've been een trying to learn GPT, thank you.

[naeemdadi]

Insightful, I have a question though. What if I want my users to add their apiKey to access the service? How can I add that?

[RussianBritish]

Bro, I encountered the same issue when I created my GPT. The way I solved it is by adding it to the schema itself instead of including it in custom instructions. For example, "paths": { "/query?apikey={apyKey}":

[EsotericSoundz]

Could you have instructed the agent creator assistant to replace the apikey portion of the url with the api-key from you added to the authentication service screen?

[TheRealJamesRussell]

Man, i was DREAMING of adding todoist into my GPT Personal assistant and you helped me a ton
