2.3 Steady Magnitude out of 10. Star growth looks organic. Data as of September 19, 2026.

About the project

The official Python library for the OpenAI API: sync and async clients, type definitions for all request params and responses, and authentication via API key or workload identity.

Useful for

Send a model request via the Responses API or Chat Completions from a Python script
Set up workload identity authentication in Kubernetes or cloud instead of an API key
Use AsyncOpenAI for asynchronous OpenAI API calls in a service

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
