The official JavaScript/TypeScript SDK for the OpenAI REST API, auto-generated from OpenAI's OpenAPI specification. It provides typed access to models, chat completions, the Responses API, embeddings, vision, and other OpenAI services from Node.js, Deno, and browser environments.

Use cases

• call the openai api from nodejs
• generate text with gpt models in typescript
• build a chatbot with chat completions
• stream llm responses in javascript
• analyze images with openai vision api
• create embeddings for semantic search
• manage multi-turn conversation state with the responses api

When to choose

• you use TypeScript or JavaScript and want official, typed access to the OpenAI API
• you need streaming, tool calls, or the Responses API with up-to-date features
• you want an auto-generated client that tracks the OpenAPI spec closely

When to avoid

• you need a provider-agnostic LLM client that works across OpenAI, Anthropic, and local models
• you are not using the OpenAI API at all
• you need a runtime other than Node.js/Deno/browsers without fetch support
