How do I fix the APIRemovedInV1 error when using openai.Completion in openai-python 1.0.0+?

Below is some troubleshooting advice to help resolve the APIRemovedInV1 error:

Why It Happens

This error means you're calling an endpoint (openai.Completion) that isn’t supported in openai-python 1.0.0 and later. The update alters the API interface, so trying to use legacy code results in this error.

Steps to Resolve

• Migrate Your Codebase:
  Run the migration tool provided by OpenAI to upgrade your code automatically:

  BASHCopied
  openai migrate

  This tool modifies your code to align with the new 1.0.0 interface.

• Pin an Older Version:
  If you need your current code to work without changes, you can install the previous version:

  BASHCopied
  pip install openai==0.28

  This will let you continue using the old interface, including openai.Completion, without running into the error.

Additional Troubleshooting

• Ensure All Code Is Updated:
  Sometimes, only part of your code is migrated. Double-check to make sure there are no lingering calls to the deprecated openai.Completion.

• Check for Caching Issues:
  If you had a previous version installed or if local caching is affecting your environment, consider clearing caches or reinstalling the package.

• Review the Migration Guide:
  For detailed instructions and common pitfalls, consult the migration guide at the official repository discussion:
  v1.0.0 Migration Guide · openai/openai-python · Discussion #742

Following these steps should help resolve the error. If problems persist, ensure that your environment isn’t mixing versions or that there are no typos or remnants of the old API calls in your code.
