  • type cat
  • tap Search Image
  • wait about 10 seconds
  • and I see a cat :grinning:
  • this worked for five more searched; then failed :cry:
  • I tried the app again 24 hours later. The free usage reset and the app worked again. :grinning:

You can exist working like this for demonstration purposes or follow the suggestions in the next post. :thinking: to get your own API which will provide a bit more 'free' usage.

I loaded both tutorials and they seem to have issues; sorry MIT needs to fix them.
Your code WORKS for several searched before you use up the free usage it provides for what appears to be a 24 hour period Try it again. :wink:

Did that work for you?

The imagebot using the MIT control provides a very limited amount of free usage per day.

To get more usage:

  • get an OpenAI key and enter it . Use it in your project or
  • wait a day after your project stops responding and try your existing project again, it should work again. After using the free usage for about five requests, the project stopped working. It started working again after trying the app a day later. :wink:

Getting Your Own OpenAI API Key

You need to get your own OpenAI API key to use MIT App Inventor’s ImageBot component. Follow the steps below to create your OpenAI account and get your OpenAI API key.

Note: Free use credits advice posted with one of the Imagebot tutorials was once true. The terms have changed.

OpenAI basically no longer offers a Free Tier. the program was discontinued earlier 2024

To test the API, you need to add payment details and purchase at least $5 worth of credits. This allows for a “pay-as-you-go” system, so you only pay for what you use​.Oct 13, 2024

Try them with the default settings and see what happens. It takes time to generate the images so be patient.

Then add the additional code in the Screen.Initialize event handlers and if you added money to your OAI account it might work. :thinking:

You use an emulator. If you can't use the MIT linked emulator, try Bluestacks (many here use it instead)
