Deployed an OpenAI App that works locally, but does not call the API on Netlify

Hello all:

I am totally brand new to programming (outside statistical coding that is) so this may be a stupid question.

I recent wrote a python code that calls the OpenAI (ChatGPT) API to return summaries (basically the completion algorithm with DaVinci). It works perfectly on my local server so I went to deploy it on Netlify (
https://citationai.netlify.app). While the build is successful, and I can see the basic ‘index.html’ file, when type in my request to call the API on said file, the screen loads, but does not provide data from the OpenAI API. My theory is that it is not calling the API when deployed. I’ve tried using AJAX and Fetch features but those seem to put me further back. Does anyone have any suggestions? It would greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

If you’re trying to run a python based server then that will be your issue.

See this response I gave to another similar request:

I can't get redirect to work on netlify despite the app working locally

@Abi2023 When the user enters the value into the input and hits submit, and the form does a POST to the /, what do you believe is receiving the posted value and responding? Because if it’s this code in your app.py: @app.route("/", methods=("GET", "POST")) def index(): if request.method == "POST": Then you’ve misunderstood the type of hosting that is available with Netlify. There’s no runtime server with python, or any of the other languages available. Your build should execute, produce …
