Referencing a Pre-Uploaded Image File by file_id in an AI Request

See more AI Examples

Currently, OpenAI is the only AI provider that supports referencing a pre-uploaded image in a request for text generation. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

success = False

# This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

ai = chilkat.CkAi()

# OpenAI is currently the only AI provider that supports referencing a pre-uploaded image by file_id
# in a request for text generation.
ai.put_Provider("openai")

# Use your provider's API key.
ai.put_ApiKey("MY_API_KEY")

# Choose a model.
ai.put_Model("gpt-5-mini")

# See the following example showing how to upload a file
# Upload an Image File to an AI Provider

# Use the file_id of the pre-uploaded file.
file_id = "file-5CnBeuFasqNcAfti3cx4Fe"
ai.InputAddImageFileId(file_id,"application/json")

ai.InputAddText("What is in this image?")

# Ask the AI for text output.
success = ai.Ask("text")
if (success == False):
    print(ai.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Get the text response.
sbResponse = chilkat.CkStringBuilder()
ai.GetOutputTextSb(sbResponse)
print(sbResponse.getAsString())
