Get started

Install

Download and install the latest OpenAI plugin:

steampipe plugin install openai

Credentials

Item	Description
Credentials	OpenAI requires an API Key for all requests.
Permissions	API Keys have the same permissions as the user who creates them, and if the user permissions change, the API key permissions also change.
Radius	Each connection represents a single OpenAI Installation.
Resolution	1. Credentials explicitly set in a steampipe config file (`~/.steampipe/config/openai.spc`) 2. Credentials specified in environment variables, e.g., `OPENAI_API_KEY`.

Configuration

Installing the latest openai plugin will create a config file (~/.steampipe/config/openai.spc) with a single connection named openai:

connection "openai" {
  plugin = "openai"

  # Get your API key at https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys
  # This can also be set via the `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable.
  api_key = "sk-CGG8G29a47ViRhvVsCGPT8BlbkFJBvFr65mZcMJWH8fay..."
}

Credentials from Environment Variables

The OpenAI plugin will use the standard OpenAI environment variables to obtain credentials only if other arguments (api_key) are not specified in the connection:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-CGG8G29a47ViRhvVsCGPT8BlbkFJBvFr65mZcMJWH8fayZO8

Postgres FDW

This plugin is available as a native Postgres FDW. Unlike Steampipe CLI, which ships with an embedded Postgres server instance, the Postgres FDW can be installed in any supported Postgres database version.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_postgres_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/postgres.sh)" -- openai

The installer will prompt you for the plugin name and version, download and install the appropriate files for your OS, system architecture, and Postgres version.

To configure the Postgres FDW, you will create an extension, foreign server, and schema and import the foreign schema.

CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS steampipe_postgres_openai;
CREATE SERVER steampipe_openai FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER steampipe_postgres_openai OPTIONS (config '<your_config>');
CREATE SCHEMA openai;
IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA openai FROM SERVER steampipe_openai INTO openai;

SQLite Extension

This plugin is available as a SQLite Extension, making the tables available as SQLite virtual tables.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_sqlite_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/sqlite.sh)" -- openai

The installer will prompt you for the plugin name, version, and destination directory. It will then determine the OS and system architecture, and it will download and install the appropriate package.

To configure the SQLite extension, load the extension module and then run the steampipe_configure_openai function to configure it with plugin-specific options.

$ sqlite3
sqlite> .load ./steampipe_sqlite_extension_openai.so
sqlite> select steampipe_configure_openai('<your_config>');

Export

This plugin is available as a standalone Export CLI. Steampipe exporters are stand-alone binaries that allow you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_export_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/export.sh)" -- openai

You can pass the configuration to the command with the --config argument:

steampipe_export_openai --config '<your_config>' <table_name>
