FAQ:
What specific qualifications or prerequisites are needed for participants before enrolling in the course?
A basic understanding of Python and REST API principles is recommended. Familiarity with Flask or FastAPI is a bonus but not required.
How long is each day's session, and is there a total number of hours required for the entire course?
Each day's session is generally structured to last around 4-5 hours, with breaks and interactive activities included. The total course duration spans five days, approximately 20-25 hours of instruction.
What if my API generates inconsistent or irrelevant responses from ChatGPT?
This issue is often tied to poor prompt design or lack of context in your prompt. We address this using the "Prompt Pattern Catalog" , including techniques like Output Automater and Reflection Patterns that help you consistently shape API responses.
How This Course is Different from Other ChatGPT API Courses:
Unlike other courses that simply show how to call the ChatGPT API, "Building Custom APIs with ChatGPT: Practical AI Integration Training Course" offers deep integration practices based on two powerful references: "Crafting Applications with ChatGPT API Using Python" and "Prompt Engineering with ChatGPT." This course emphasizes hands-on development, reusable prompt patterns, Flask and FastAPI examples, secure API architecture, and end-to-end implementation. While others focus only on prompt basics or chatbot demos, we guide you through professional-grade API design, prompt testing frameworks, and real-world automation use cases. We don’t provide commercial tools, but you’ll explore tools and examples that illustrate modern AI-driven development. Whether you're a developer or technical team leader, this course equips you to confidently build, secure, and deploy OpenAI-powered APIs aligned with business goals.
