API learning and best practices - API - OpenAI Developer Forum
Hello my dear friends! I know that everyone better understands this problem, it's great news. If a beginner user decides to learn step by step from the beginning up to advanced with best practices, what's the best way to learn API in a short time with the greatest and most effective suggestions for beginner users?
For example, how can a beginner user write a command or prompt to an app that saves their lessons where they left off? How can a beginner user know or write a prompt that starts their learning lessons basically and API guide or teach without any mistakes during teaching and summarizing information?
Hi! I think I'm pretty qualified to answer this since I didn't even know how to write code a year ago. In my opinion, the best way to learn how to use OpenAI's API (or really any technology) is just to play with it and try to get it to work.
ChatGPT is actually an incredible partner in your learning journey, but don't forget that it doesn't have access to the latest documentation or info, so if you ask something requiring that, it will almost always hallucinate. What I did when getting started was just copying and pasting the API Documentation into ChatGPT and asking questions, or working with the model to write code.
Also watch a ton of YouTube videos š If you hit any speed bumps, just come here and ask!
