chatgpt API costs money

too much money (tokens per request)


but i can write a script
that sends request to chatgpt via browser

then come after some days of running
and copy paste the whole chatgpt outputs

it will be much slower than the API
but i have enough time


my question: is this automation against chatgpt rules?

pls with source tyvm

i need this for research purpose and dont want
trouble when i present my approaches

If you use for example Microsoft Edge browser and use chat GPT4 via the lateral bar, every answers from your questions via the chat is usable for your work, it's legal. You can copy/paste your scripts or any informations in the chat, and copy/paste the response from the bot.

Scripts are included in the legal things you can do, and that's why it's a powerful tool.

The answers are a synthesis of answers from the internet and powerful calculators as well as an algorithm that has been well worked, chatGPT can work with scripts and users can exploit the results freely.

Microsoft has invested billions of dollars (USD) in open AI & chatGPT and that's why free usage of this tool on their browser (Edge) is legal.

Of course you must respect copyrights and cannot monetize someone else's work.

So finally i think you can ask the bot from chatGPT to help you make scripts, but i don't know if you can use scripts to use chatGPT, i misunderstood your question.
You want to use a script to automatically use chatGPT with a bot who's asking questions to chatGPT right?
You can ask this question directly to Microsoft support i guess.

It looks like you want to bypass the tokens payment to chatGPT by using the Microsoft browser's chatGPT automatically with a bot, from my point of view what you're trying to do is illegal because i think chatGPT is supposed to be used by humans only, but you can ask them the question to be sure.

yes thats exactly what i want


i have a csv file with over 1 million lines of text
and want pass each line to chatgpt (with specific prompt)

store each chatgpt output in new csv file


i tested the script and after 70 requests, chatgpt
throws error. something liike "too many requests,try again in 1 hour"


also i used chatgpt api yesterday. in just a half day i can send
10000 requests to chatgpt, and it cost me $ 0.9

(for those who dont know: price depend on the amount of text used,
not amount of requests)

thats OK

i realize, a script will never make it, lol not over million requests

then i rather pay for api

and my topic here is solved :)


thx for help!!

I think $0.9 for 10,000 queries, or $90 for 1,000,000 queries, is a decent price: we can't find any other cheaper and better tool than this right now, it is 100% safe.

You can even ask the question directly to chatGPT in case of doubt about its cost or the legality of what we would like to do.

Their service is valued for money compared to other services on the internet.

This sometimes makes it possible to avoid waiting hours for a support response, make very complicated and impossible calculations for our brain, or in your case, find 1 million answers to 1 million questions quickly and affordably.

So it's useful to save time or save money, or even earn money indirectly through the help provided by this service for a job to be done.


You're welcome, glad to hear your question is solved !
