# OpenAI Typesafe Rust Library
[](https://crates.io/crates/openai-safe)
[](https://docs.rs/openai-safe)
This Rust library is specialized in providing type-safe interactions with the OpenAI API. It's designed to simplify the process of sending requests to OpenAI and interpreting the responses, ensuring that the JSON data is handled in a type-safe manner. This guarantees that the data conforms to predefined structures, reducing runtime errors and increasing the reliability of applications using OpenAI's powerful AI models like GPT-3.5 and GPT-4.
## Features
- Support for various OpenAI models including GPT-3.5, GPT-4, etc.
- Easy-to-use functions for completions, chat responses, and other OpenAI features.
- Structured response handling.
- Rate limit handling.
- Asynchronous support using Tokio.
### Prerequisites
- An OpenAI API key.
### Examples
Explore the `examples` directory to see more use cases and how to handle different types of responses from the
OpenAI API.
This is the output of calling the assistant api with metallica.pdf
```
RUST_LOG=info RUST_BACKTRACE=1 cargo run --example use_openai_assistant
```
This program will send this press release to OpenAI Assistant API and get the data requested in the response type back:
```
pub struct ConcertInfo {
dates: Vec<String>,
band: String,
venue: String,
city: String,
country: String,
ticket_price: String,
}
```

Output:
```
Running `target/debug/examples/use_openai_assistant`
ConcertInfo { dates: ["Friday September 6, 2019"], band: "Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony", venue: "Chase Center", city: "San Francisco", country: "USA", ticket_price: "Information not available" }
```
