Setting ‘LLM Responses ChatGPT’ Tasks


ChatGPT LLM Responses endpoint allows you to retrieve structured responses from a specific ChatGPT model, based on the input parameters.

This is the Standard method of data retrieval. If you don’t need to receive data in real-time, this method is the best option for you. Set a task and retrieve the results when our system collects them. Execution time depends on the system workload.

If your system requires delivering instant results, the Live method will be a better solution. This method doesn’t require making separate POST and GET requests to the corresponding endpoints.

Note that this endpoint requires making an automatic prepayment of $0.01 to execute the task. If the cost charged by the LLM is less than $0.01, the difference will be refunded to your account balance.

Instead of ‘login’ and ‘password’ use your credentials from https://app.dataforseo.com/api-access

All POST data should be sent in the JSON format (UTF-8 encoding). Task setting is done using the POST method. When setting a task, you should send all task parameters in the task array of the generic POST array. You can send up to 2000 API calls per minute, with each POST call containing no more than 100 tasks. If your POST call contains over 100 tasks, the tasks over this limit will return the 40006 error.

Tasks using the Standard method may take up to 72 hours to complete. If the task is not completed within this time, it is marked as failed, and the $0.01 advance is refunded. It is also important to note that if your account balance is negative, you will not receive the results even if the task is completed successfully.

You can also retrieve the results of completed tasks using the unique task identifier id. Alternatively, we can send them to you as soon as they are ready if you specify the postback_url or pingback_url when setting a task. Note that if your server doesn’t respond within 10 seconds, the connection will be aborted by timeout, and the task will be transferred to the tasks_ready list. The error code and message depend on your server’s configuration.

See Help Center to learn more about using pingbacks and postbacks with DataForSEO APIs.
