# openai

The `openai` connection can be used to access OpenAI resources.

```hcl
connection "openai" "my_openai" {
  api_key = "sk-jwgthNa..."
}
```

## Arguments

| Name      | Type   | Required? | Description |
| --------- | ------ | --------- | ----------- |
| `api_key` | String | Optional  | API key     |

All arguments are optional, and an `openai` connection with no arguments will behave the same as the [default connection](#default-connection).

## Attributes (Read-Only)

| Attribute | Type | Description                                                                       |
| --------- | ---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `env`     | Map  | A map of the resolved connection-related environment variables (`OPENAI_API_KEY`) |

## Default Connection

The `openai` connection type includes an implicit, default connection (`connection.openai.default`) that will be configured to set the `api_key` to the `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable.

```hcl
connection "openai" "default" {
  api_key = env("OPENAI_API_KEY")
}
```
