Module openai has no exported member

There has been a major upgrade in OpenAI's Node.js API Library. When switchting from Version 3 to Version 4 you have to take into account some breaking API changes. You may also run into "insufficient_quota" errors if you don't upgrade legacy User API keys to to Project API keys (read more).

API Changes

Here is a list of the most common changes and how to update them.

Module '"openai"' has no exported member 'Configuration'. Did you mean to use 'import Configuration from "openai"' instead?

Version 3

import { Configuration } from 'openai';

After

import OpenAI from 'openai';

'"openai"' has no exported member named 'OpenAIApi'. Did you mean 'OpenAI'?

Version 3

import { Configuration, OpenAIApi } from 'openai';
 
const configuration = new Configuration({
  apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
});
 
const openai = new OpenAIApi(configuration);

After

import OpenAI from 'openai';
 
const openai = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
});

Module '"openai"' has no exported member 'ChatCompletionRequestMessage'. Did you mean to use 'import ChatCompletionRequestMessage from "openai"' instead?

Version 3

const commands: ChatCompletionRequestMessage[] = [
  {
    content: 'You are a summarizer.',
    role: 'system',
  },
];

After

import type { ChatCompletionMessageParam } from 'openai/resources/index.mjs';
 
const commands: ChatCompletionRequestMessage[] = [
  {
    content: 'You are a summarizer.',
    role: 'system',
  },
];

Property 'createChatCompletion' does not exist on type 'OpenAI'.

Version 3

const { data } = await openai.createChatCompletion({
  max_tokens: 196,
  messages: commands,
  model: 'gpt-3.5-turbo',
  temperature: 0,
  top_p: 0.1,
});

After

const data = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  max_tokens: 196,
  messages: commands,
  model: 'gpt-3.5-turbo',
  temperature: 0,
  top_p: 0.1,
});
