Get userId from body of request to OpenAI rather then header

[mattiapomelli]

Currently the userId for a specific request is set through the X-User-Id header, like this:

const configuration = new Configuration({
  apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY, 
  basePath: "https://api.openai.withlogging.com/v1",  
  baseOptions: { 
    headers: {
      "X-Api-Key": `Bearer ${process.env.LLM_REPORT_API_KEY}`, 
      "X-User-Id": `[email protected]`,  // user Id
    },
  }
});

This means that, if different requests need to be associated to different users, the request header needs to be dynamic and change on each request (and therefore we need to create a new Configuration object on each request).

However, OpenAI API already accepts a user field in the body of the request, which has a similar purpose.

const completion = await openai.createChatCompletion({
  model: "gpt-3.5-turbo",
  user: "userid",
});

It would be handy to optionally get the userId for LLM Report from this field of the request body, rather than the X-User-Id header. This would avoid having to set new headers for each request.

Good suggestion! Didn't even know OpenAI provided this field. I'll update the code to account for that too :)

Awesome!

Exactly had the same question. I already pass the user field via the OpenAI SDK. Would love to see it reflected on the logs.
Thanks
