Keeping Your OpenAI API Key Secure

[RohanTyagi7]

Hey jimseah-0116! Your OpenAI API Key seems to be publicly accessible to anyone viewing your code on the "TeleGPT.py" file. This risks other GitHub users accessing the API with your credentials, using up API credits and possibly costing you money. Try using a ".env" file for this API key and read it in the python file from the env file. Please view the following website for more information on how to use a more secure method of storing API keys with env files: https://medium.com/@oadaramola/a-pitfall-i-almost-fell-into-d1d3461b2fb8. glhf!
