The OpenAI Cookbook is a collection of example code and guides for accomplishing common tasks with the OpenAI API, primarily written as Python Jupyter notebooks. It is actively maintained by OpenAI and browsable at cookbook.openai.com.

Use cases

• learn how to call the OpenAI API from Python
• build a RAG pipeline with embeddings
• fine-tune GPT models on custom data
• implement prompt engineering best practices
• build agents with the OpenAI Agents SDK
• count tokens and manage conversation state
• work with structured outputs and function calling
• generate images and process audio with the API

When to choose

• you are building on the OpenAI API and want working example code
• you need practical recipes for embeddings, RAG, agents, or fine-tuning
• you want up-to-date guidance maintained by OpenAI itself

When to avoid

• you use a different LLM provider with an incompatible API
• you need official reference documentation rather than examples
• you want a production-ready library rather than notebook examples
