In this tutorial, we’ll explore how to leverage the OpenAI ChatCompletion API to auto-generate and refine code snippets for HTML/JavaScript, Python data analysis, code commenting, and SQL DDL tasks. By the end, you’ll know how to integrate AI-powered coding assistance directly into your development workflow.

Setup

First, install the OpenAI Python package if you haven’t already: 
pip install openai
Then import the modules and set your API key (either via OPENAI_API_KEY in your environment or by uncommenting the manual assignment). 
import os
import openai

openai.api_key = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
<Callout icon="triangle-alert" color="#FF6B6B">
Never commit your API key to version control. Use environment variables or a secret manager in production.
</Callout>
Define helper functions to request completions and clean up the returned code: 
def get_code_completion(prompt, language):
    """
    Send a prompt to the OpenAI ChatCompletion API and return the generated code snippet.
    """
    response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
        model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
        messages=[
            {"role": "system", "content": f"You are a helpful {language} coding assistant."},
            {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
        ],
        max_tokens=3000,
        temperature=1,
        n=1
    )
    return response.choices[0].message.content

def cleanup_code(snippet, language):
    """
    Remove markdown code fences and language tags, then trim whitespace.
    """
    snippet = snippet.replace("```", "")
    snippet = snippet.replace(language, "")
    return snippet.strip()
SectionLanguagePurpose

2PythonLoad, preview, and save a data-science CSV
3PythonAuto-add docstring comments
4SQLCreate tables, insert rows, and query data

​
1. HTML/JavaScript Code Generation

Define a prompt to build a simple webpage with a button that cycles the background color through red, green, and blue. Request only the code: 
prompt = """
You are a front-end developer. Generate HTML and JavaScript for a page
with a button that, when clicked, cycles the background through red, green, and blue.
Include only the code.
"""

raw = get_code_completion(prompt, "html")
html_code = cleanup_code(raw, "html")
print(html_code)
Example output: 
\<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <style>
    body { background-color: red; }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <button onclick="changeColor()">Change Color</button>
  <script>
    var colors = ["red", "green", "blue"];
    var currentColor = 0;
    function changeColor() {
      document.body.style.backgroundColor = colors[currentColor];
      currentColor = (currentColor + 1) % colors.length;
    }
  </script>
</body>
</html>
You can render this in a Jupyter notebook via IPython’s display utilities or save it as an .html file and open it in your browser.

​
2. Python Data-Science Script Creation

Generate a Python script using Pandas to load the Iris dataset, preview its rows, and save it as a CSV file: 
context = """
# Print the version of Pandas
import pandas as pd
print(pd.__version__)

# Load the Iris dataset from URL
url = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mwaskom/seaborn-data/master/iris.csv'
df = pd.read_csv(url)

# Display first 5 rows
print(df.head())

# Display last 5 rows
print(df.tail())

# Save to iris.csv without the index
df.to_csv('iris.csv', index=False)
"""
prompt = f"""
You are a Python data science developer. Return only the code:
```{context}```
"""

raw = get_code_completion(prompt, "python")
python_code = cleanup_code(raw, "python")
print(python_code)
```text

<Callout icon="lightbulb" color="#1CB2FE">
Customize the URL or file path as needed for your environment.
</Callout>

## 3. Auto-Commenting with Docstrings

Enhance an existing helper function by adding detailed docstring comments and explain its output:

```python
context = '''
def to_dictionary(keys, values):
    return dict(zip(keys, values))

keys = ["a", "b", "c"]
values = [2, 3, 4]
print(to_dictionary(keys, values))
'''
prompt = f"""
Regenerate this code with a proper docstring and explain its behavior:
```{context}```
"""

raw = get_code_completion(prompt, "python")
commented_code = cleanup_code(raw, "python")
print(commented_code)
Expected result: 
def to_dictionary(keys, values):
    """
    Convert two lists into a dictionary.

    Parameters:
        keys (list): List of keys.
        values (list): List of values.

    Returns:
        dict: Mapping of keys to values.
    """
    return dict(zip(keys, values))

keys = ["a", "b", "c"]
values = [2, 3, 4]
print(to_dictionary(keys, values))
# Possible outcome: {'a': 2, 'b': 3, 'c': 4}

​
4. SQL DDL & Query Generation

Generate SQL statements to create a table, insert CSV rows, and query customers from Chile: 
context = '''

2. Insert all rows.
3. Select customers where country = 'Chile'.

```{context}```
"""

raw = get_code_completion(prompt, "sql")
sql_code = cleanup_code(raw, "sql")
print(sql_code)

Sample output:

```sql

    customer_id VARCHAR(50),
    first_name VARCHAR(50),
    last_name VARCHAR(50),
    company VARCHAR(100),

    country VARCHAR(50),
    phone_1 VARCHAR(30),
    phone_2 VARCHAR(30),
    email VARCHAR(100),
    subscription_date DATE,
    website VARCHAR(200)
);

INSERT INTO customers (id, customer_id, first_name, last_name, company, city, country, phone_1, phone_2, email, subscription_date, website) VALUES
