OpenAI Responses API

Integrate OpenAI Responses API with Helicone to monitor and analyze your model’s responses.

This integration method is maintained but no longer actively developed. For the best experience and latest features, use our new AI Gateway with unified API access to 100+ models.

OpenAI Responses enable you to provide text or image inputs to generate text or JSON outputs by calling your own custom code or use built-in tools like web search or file search. By integrating them with Helicone, you can monitor performance, analyze interactions, and gain valuable insights into your responses.

2. HELICONE_API_KEY=<your-helicone-api-key>
   OPENAI_API_KEY=<your-openai-api-key>
   
3. import OpenAI from "openai";
   
   const openai = new OpenAI({
     apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
     baseURL: "https://oai.helicone.ai/v1",
     defaultHeaders: {
       "Helicone-Auth": `Bearer ${process.env.HELICONE_API_KEY}`
     }
   });
   
4. Replace the response’s model, input, and output with content relevant to your application.

   const textInputResponse = await openai.responses.create({

       input: "What is the meaning of life?"
   });
   
   console.log(textInputResponse);
