# OpenAI Sample.
## Setup environment
### How to Get Your OpenAI API Key
To use the OpenAI plugin, you need an OpenAI API key.
1. **Visit OpenAI Platform**: Go to [OpenAI API Keys](https://platform.openai.com/api-keys) and sign in.
2. **Create API Key**: Click on "Create new secret key".
3. **Add Credits**: You may need to add credits to your account.
For more details, check out the [official documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/quickstart).
Export the API key as env variable `OPENAI_API_KEY`:
```bash
export OPENAI_API_KEY=<Your api key>
```
```bash
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
```
### Monitoring and Running
For an enhanced development experience, use the provided `run.sh` script to start the sample with automatic reloading:
```bash
./run.sh
```
This script uses `watchmedo` to monitor changes in:
- `src/` (Python logic)
- `../../packages` (Genkit core)
- `../../plugins` (Genkit plugins)
- File patterns: `*.py`, `*.prompt`, `*.json`
Changes will automatically trigger a restart of the sample. You can also pass command-line arguments directly to the script, e.g., `./run.sh --some-flag`.
## Run the sample
TODO
```bash
genkit start -- uv run src/main.py
```
