Does the OpenAI API Support Live Internet Access?

Want to use over 200+ MCP servers inside your coding tools like Cursor?
I read the recent announcement that ChatGPT now has live Internet access.
I am curious if the OpenAI API also includes this capability, or if it remains limited to specific products such as ChatGPT with plugins.
Thanks in advance!

Answer:
The OpenAI API does not include built-in access to the internet. The API remains accessible through HTTP requests (via our official Python bindings, Node.js library, or community-maintained libraries), but it doesn't provide a feature that allows the API to directly browse the web or pull live data. Any new internet-access capabilities announced in related news are specific to certain products (like ChatGPT with plugins) and do not extend to the API itself.
