To keep your API key secure when using the ChatGPT API in your app, it is recommended to set up a routed endpoint in your backend to act as a proxy.By storing the API key on the server, it remains safely hidden from users and prevents exposing the key in client-side applications.Using a backend proxy also helps protect any hidden or custom prompts used in the application.Implementing a simple ChatGPT-style interface on the client side allows sending requests to the backend API with the API key securely hidden.
