ChatGPTProxy is an open-source project that creates a lightweight proxy server to intermediate between client applications and the ChatGPT web endpoints, allowing developers to integrate ChatGPT-style functionality into their software without using an official API or embedding web UI code directly. This tool works by accepting requests in a defined format, forwarding them through the proxy to ChatGPT’s backend services, and returning responses to the caller, abstracting away direct browser automation or scraping concerns from the application layer. By consolidating the traffic through a proxy, developers can centralize logging, throttling, authentication, and caching in one place, making it easier to build consistent and controlled AI workflows. The proxy can also be customized to enforce usage policies, attach additional metadata, or translate request/response formats for compatibility with other tools.
