SOAKP (Secure OpenAI Proxy) Documentation

Table of contents:

  1. Checkout and Setup - configure repository for every type of use.
  2. SSL Certificates - create certificates for localhost or live domain.
  3. Generate JWT - get JWT to acess /openai/* endpoints.
  4. Communicate with OpenAI - communicate with OpenAI API using JWT token instead of your plain API key.

SOAKP is a Node.js application and library that facilitates secure usage of the OpenAI API through a proxy-like application.

It stores your OpenAI API keys securely and provides a mechanism to interact with the OpenAI API without directly exposing its keys by using a secure personal JWT token. The library leverages Docker to automatically generate renewable SSL certificates using Certbot for live domains.

This package features an companion NPM library for client-side browser applications where revealing API keys is a security concern.

Features

  1. Enhanced Security: Keep your OpenAI API key safe from unauthorized access and exposure. SOAKP Server ensures the confidentiality of your OpenAI key by securely managing and validating it within your application.

  2. Secure JWT Generation: Generate unlimited secure JWTs for authorized users, enabling them to access the OpenAI API without directly exposing your key. Maintain granular control over API usage while ensuring high-level security.

  3. Web Client Compatibility: SOAKP Server’s companion library specifically designed for modern web browsers, soakp-client, acts as a secure connection module, eliminating the need to expose the OpenAI API key in client-side code. Soakp-client seamlessly interacts with the OpenAI API using JWT-based authorization.

  4. Simplified Integration: Seamlessly integrate SOAKP Server into your web applications and services. Both SOAKP and client library offer familiar APIs, making it easy to incorporate OpenAI capabilities without extensive setup or configuration.

  5. Documentation and Support: Benefit from detailed documentation and community support. Both SOAKP and SOAKP client are provided with clear instructions and examples to guide you through the integration process, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience.
