Thanks for sharing, will take a look.

So you’re missing the secrets.toml file that should contain your API key. I would advise against using .env which exposes your API key in your commit to GitHub; security risk.

Here’s what you should do instead:

1. In your root directory, create the file .streamlit/secrets.toml
2. Paste your API key inside the secrets.toml file and save
3. In the root folder, create a file named .gitignore and add this path to the file .streamlit/secrets.toml (this will ensure your API key is not deployed to GitHub)

Here’s a more detailed guide on how to manage your secrets.

Hey @tonykip
I hope you are doing great ?

In my side, I tried many times, I follow also your link and this one:

Secrets management - Streamlit Docs

But each time I get an email from openai which told me that my api is disabled.
I try like you said and I also try by adding a variable name inside toml but it doesn’t work. Same Issue.

(key is disabled no worry )

I need some help please and thank you very much for it.

My repo:

thank you again

The .toml file needs to be structured like so:

[openaiDetails]
key_var = 123456789

Key can be retrieved using the following based on structure above:

st.secrets.openaiDetails.key_var

Please let me know if you have questions. Thank you

[tonykip]

Thanks for the details. Try using this format to get the key from your secrets file:

openai.api_key = st.secrets["openai_api"]

I created a pull request for your repo above. You can merge it and try it out.

Good afternoon @REPNOT , @tonykip

I tried both of your solution but it still doesn’t work for me.
I have immediately a message from openai that told me my key has been disabled…

Thank you very much for your help
I’m little bit desesperated with this issue…

Best regards,
Amr

I think it’s a problem linked to the .gitignore file because when i change the api key i received in a second an email from openai.

The OpenAI API key is in secrets.toml.
