On December 11th, OpenAI added Cloudflare protections that make it more difficult to access the unofficial API.
This package works to access ChatGPT pretty consistently, even after OpenAI added Cloudflare protections. To circumvent these protections, we've added a **fully automated browser-based solution**, which uses Puppeteer and CAPTCHA solvers under the hood. 🔥

This solution is not lightweight, but it does work a lot more consistently than the previous REST API-based approach. For example, I'm currently using this approach to automate 10 concurrent OpenAI accounts for my [Twitter bot](https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/chatgpt-twitter-bot). 😂

To use the updated version, **make sure you're using the latest version of this package and Node.js >= 18**. Then update your code following the examples below, paying special attention to the sections on [Authentication](#authentication), [Restrictions](#restrictions), and [CAPTCHAs](#captchas).
We recently added support for CAPTCHA automation using either [nopecha](https://nopecha.com/) or [2captcha](https://2captcha.com). Keep in mind that this package will be updated to use the official API as soon as it's released, so things should get much easier over time. 💪

There are some restrictions to be aware of, however:
- Cloudflare doesn't like requests coming from data center IPs, so you'll either have to run it locally or use a residential IP proxy.
- You should only have one `sendMessage` request at a time per browser instance and OpenAI account.
- It can be difficult to reliably process `sendMessage` requests after awhile. My best advice for handling this is to wrap your usage in some basic retry logic as well as a daemon which restarts your Node.js process every hour or so. This is unfortunately a byproduct of there not being an official API, so keep that in mind before using this in production.
If you run into any issues, we do have a pretty active [Discord](https://discord.gg/v9gERj825w) with a bunch of ChatGPT hackers from the Node.js & Python communities.
