Purchasing OpenAI API Credits

ARIA uses the OpenAI API to function properly. To ensure uninterrupted access, you need to purchase API credits from OpenAI.

Steps to Purchase OpenAI API Credits

1. Create an OpenAI Account (if you don’t have one already):

   • Sign up at OpenAI's platform.

2. Access Billing Settings:

   • Go to your OpenAI Billing page.

3. Add a Payment Method:

   • Navigate to Manage Account → Billing and add your preferred payment method.

4. Purchase API Credits:

   • Click on Add Funds and choose an amount to top up your OpenAI account.

5. Retrieve Your API Key:

   • Go to the API Keys page.
   • Click Create new secret key, copy it, and paste it into your credentials.py file.

Important Notes

• OpenAI provides a free trial with limited usage. Check pricing details here.
• If you exceed your usage limits, your API calls will stop working until you add more credits.

Now that your credentials and API credits are set up, you're ready for the next steps! 🚀
