liboai is a simple, unofficial C++17 library for the OpenAI API. It allows developers to access OpenAI endpoints through a simple collection of methods and classes. The library can most effectively be thought of as a spiritual port of OpenAI's Python library, simply called openai, due to its similar structure - with few exceptions.

import openai
import os

openai.api_key = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
response = openai.Image.create(
    prompt="A snake in the grass!",
    n=1,
    size="256x256"
)
print(response["data"][0]["url"])

#include "liboai.h"

using namespace liboai;

int main() {
  OpenAI oai;
  oai.auth.SetKeyEnv("OPENAI_API_KEY");
	
  Response res = oai.Image->create(
    "A snake in the grass!",
    1,
    "256x256"
  );

  std::cout << res["data"][0]["url"] << std::endl;
}

Running the above will print out the URL to the resulting generated image, which may or may not look similar to the one found below.
