## Introduction

`openaiRtools` is a complete R implementation of the OpenAI Python SDK, providing full compatibility with the OpenAI API. This package allows R users to access all OpenAI services including Chat Completions, Embeddings, Images (DALL-E), Audio (Whisper and TTS), Models, and Fine-tuning.

## Installation

```r
# Install from GitHub
install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("xiaoluolorn/openaiRtools")
```

## Quick Start

### Setup

```{r setup, eval=FALSE}
library(openaiRtools)

# Method 1: Set API key in environment (recommended)
Sys.setenv(OPENAI_API_KEY = "your-api-key-here")
client <- OpenAI$new()

# Method 2: Pass API key directly
client <- OpenAI$new(api_key = "your-api-key-here")
```

### Chat Completions

```{r chat, eval=FALSE}
# Basic chat completion
response <- client$chat$completions$create(
  messages = list(
    list(role = "user", content = "Hello, how are you?")
  ),
  model = "gpt-4"
)

cat(response$choices[[1]]$message$content)

# With parameters
response <- client$chat$completions$create(
  messages = list(
    list(role = "system", content = "You are a helpful assistant."),
    list(role = "user", content = "What is R?")
  ),
  model = "gpt-4",
  temperature = 0.7,
  max_tokens = 200
)
```

### Embeddings

```{r embeddings, eval=FALSE}
# Create embeddings
response <- client$embeddings$create(
  input = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog",
  model = "text-embedding-ada-002"
)

# Access embedding vector
embedding <- response$data[[1]]$embedding
cat("Embedding dimension:", length(embedding))
```

### Images (DALL-E)

```{r images, eval=FALSE}
# Generate image
response <- client$images$create(
  prompt = "A cute baby sea otter in a spacesuit, digital art",
  model = "dall-e-3",
  size = "1024x1024",
  quality = "hd"
)

# Get image URL
cat("Image URL:", response$data[[1]]$url)
```

### Audio

```{r audio, eval=FALSE}
# Transcribe audio
transcription <- client$audio$transcriptions$create(
  file = "recording.mp3",
  model = "whisper-1"
)

cat("Transcription:", transcription$text)

# Text-to-speech
audio_data <- client$audio$speech$create(
  input = "Hello, this is a test of text to speech.",
  model = "tts-1",
  voice = "alloy"
)

# Save to file
writeBin(audio_data, "speech.mp3")
```

## Key Features

### 1. Full API Compatibility

`openaiRtools` implements all major OpenAI API endpoints:

- **Chat Completions**: GPT-4, GPT-3.5-Turbo, and more
- **Embeddings**: Text embedding models
- **Images**: DALL-E 3 and DALL-E 2
- **Audio**: Whisper transcriptions, translations, and TTS
- **Models**: List and retrieve model information
- **Fine-tuning**: Create and manage fine-tuning jobs

### 2. Python SDK Interface

The API design closely mirrors the Python SDK:

```r
# Python:
# client.chat.completions.create(...)

# R:
client$chat$completions$create(...)
```

### 3. Convenience Functions

For simple use cases, use convenience functions:

```r
response <- create_chat_completion(
  messages = list(list(role = "user", content = "Hello")),
  model = "gpt-3.5-turbo"
)
```

### 4. Error Handling

Comprehensive error handling with specific error classes:

```{r errors, eval=FALSE}
tryCatch(
  {
    response <- client$chat$completions$create(
      messages = list(list(role = "user", content = "Test")),
      model = "gpt-4"
    )
  },
  openai_api_error = function(e) {
    cat("API Error:", e$message, "\n")
    cat("Status Code:", e$status_code, "\n")
  },
  openai_connection_error = function(e) {
    cat("Connection Error:", e$message, "\n")
  },
  error = function(e) {
    cat("General Error:", e$message, "\n")
  }
)
```

## Configuration

### Environment Variables

- `OPENAI_API_KEY`: Your OpenAI API key (required)
- `OPENAI_ORG_ID`: Organization ID (optional)
- `OPENAI_PROJECT_ID`: Project ID (optional)

### Client Options

```{r config, eval=FALSE}
client <- OpenAI$new(
  api_key = "your-key",
  base_url = "https://api.openai.com/v1",
  organization = "org-123",
  project = "proj-456",
  timeout = 600
)
```
