I am facing this error while running my backend in my React app:

file:///D:/Project/server/route/dalle.routes.js:3
import { Configuration, OpenAIApi} from 'openai';
         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: The requested module 'openai' does not provide an export named 'Configuration'

What's wrong?

First, check the OpenAI NodeJS SDK version:

  • OPTION 1 - using the terminal: npm list openai or
  • OPTION 2 - by looking at the package.json file.

What do you get/see? You probably have the OpenAI NodeJS SDK v4.

Problem

You have v4, but you want to use the code that works with v3. SDK v4 was released on August 16, 2023, and is a complete rewrite of the SDK. Among other things, there are changes in the initialization logic. See the v3 to v4 migration guide.

Solution

Change this...

// Old (i.e., OpenAI NodeJS SDK v3)
import { Configuration, OpenAIApi } from "openai";

const configuration = new Configuration({
  apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
});

const openai = new OpenAIApi(configuration);

...to this.

// New (i.e., OpenAI NodeJS SDK v4)
import OpenAI from 'openai';

const openai = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
});
