3. Go to the Dashboard and click the Create App button like the below.

4. Fill in the blanks like the below and click the Create App button.

5. You will see the Key like the figure below and then copy it.

6. Create a new file named secrets.properties on the root directory of this Android project, and add the key to the secrets.properties file like the below:

STREAM_API_KEY=..

7. Go to your Dashboard again and click your App.

8. In the Overview menu, you can find the Authentication category by scrolling to the middle of the page.

9. Switch on the Disable Auth Checks option and click the Submit button like the figure below.

11. Click the Explorer tab on the left side menu.

13. Now, it's time to set up the OpenAI API key. Go to OpenAI API Dashboard, login with your Google account and click Start verification to verify your phone number to create an API key.

14. After verifying your phone number, click the Create new secret key on the page like the image below and create your API key:

15. Copy and paste your API key to the secrets.properties file as named GPT_API_KEY under the STREAM_API_KEY field:

GPT_API_KEY=..

16. Unlock Rate limits for OpenAI APIs

As per the guidelines outlined in their Rate limits documentation, access to the free tier of the API is granted after a minimum expenditure of $5 since the creation of your account. That means, you should register your payment method to the OpenAI and purchase initial credits.

So you should go to the OpenAI Billings and click the Add payment details button like the image below:

17. Once you've added your payment deatils, you'll able to see the Add to creadit balance button like the image below:

Next, click the Add to credit balance button to purchase the initial credit. As you've discovered in the previous step, the minimum credit starts from $5. Therefore, if you only intend to utilize the API limits for testing or building a side project, you can opt for the minimum pricing. Also, not that it's advisable to disable the automatic recharge option to avoid unexpected charges.

18. Once you've completed all those steps above, now build, run and enjoy your the project!
