}Error handling
Open-AI maintains clear documentation on how to handle API errors
example:
e := &openai.APIError{}
if errors.As(err, &e) {
switch e.HTTPStatusCode {
case 401:
// invalid auth or key (do not retry)
case 429:
// rate limiting or engine overload (wait and retry)
case 500:
// openai server error (retry)
default:
// unhandled
}
}
