Consume streaming data from OpenAI with vanilla JavaScript

  • Hey HN, have seen a lot of AI demos recently using libraries/frameworks for what is effectively an API call - so thought to showcase how this could be done with vanilla JavaScript. Turns out response.body is an async iterable, so you can do something like:

      for await (const chunk of response.body) { // use chunk }

  • why everyone likes JavaScript so much? :)
