## What it is
A Python service that proxies ChatGPT's web interface into an OpenAI-compatible API format, supporting GPT-3.5, GPT-4/4o, O1/O3 models, GPTs, and file uploads. It also provides a native ChatGPT website mirror with account pooling and token management.

## Use cases
- use chatgpt web account as an openai-compatible api
- expose gpt-4 via openai api format without official key
- self-host a chatgpt to api gateway
- rotate multiple chatgpt tokens for api access
- mirror the chatgpt website with account pool
- use gpts and o1 models through openai sdk clients

## When to choose
- you have ChatGPT web accounts (AccessToken/RefreshToken) and want OpenAI-format API access
- you need compatibility with existing OpenAI API clients
- you want multi-account token rotation and a self-hosted gateway

## When to avoid
- you need a fully official, ToS-compliant OpenAI API
- you need guaranteed uptime or SLA, since this relies on unofficial reverse-engineered endpoints
- you don't have ChatGPT accounts or tokens
