#' Makes a single completion request to the GPT-3 API
#'
#' @description
#' `gpt3_simple_request()` sends a single [completion request](https://beta.openai.com/docs/api-reference/completions) to the Open AI GPT-3 API.
#' @details For a general guide on the completion requests, see [https://beta.openai.com/docs/guides/completion](https://beta.openai.com/docs/guides/completion). This function provides you with an R wrapper to send requests with the full range of request parameters as detailed on [https://beta.openai.com/docs/api-reference/completions](https://beta.openai.com/docs/api-reference/completions) and reproduced below.
#'
#' For the `best_of` parameter: When used with n, best_of controls the number of candidate completions and n specifies how many to return – best_of must be greater than n. Note that this is handled by the wrapper automatically if(best_of <= n){ best_of = n}.
#'
#' Parameters not included/supported:
#' - `logit_bias`: [https://beta.openai.com/docs/api-reference/completions/create#completions/create-logit_bias](https://beta.openai.com/docs/api-reference/completions/create#completions/create-logit_bias)
#' - `echo`: [https://beta.openai.com/docs/api-reference/completions/create#completions/create-echo](https://beta.openai.com/docs/api-reference/completions/create#completions/create-echo)
#' - `stream`: [https://beta.openai.com/docs/api-reference/completions/create#completions/create-stream](https://beta.openai.com/docs/api-reference/completions/create#completions/create-stream)
#'
#' @param prompt_input character that contains the prompt to the GPT-3 request
#' @param model a character vector that indicates the [model](https://beta.openai.com/docs/models/gpt-3) to use; one of "text-davinci-002" (default), "text-curie-001", "text-babbage-001" or "text-ada-001"
#' @param output_type character determining the output provided: "complete" (default), "text" or "meta"
#' @param suffix character (default: NULL) (from the official API documentation: _The suffix that comes after a completion of inserted text_)
#' @param max_tokens numeric (default: 100) indicating the maximum number of tokens that the completion request should return (from the official API documentation: _The maximum number of tokens to generate in the completion. The token count of your prompt plus max_tokens cannot exceed the model's context length. Most models have a context length of 2048 tokens (except for the newest models, which support 4096)_)
#' @param temperature numeric (default: 0.9) specifying the sampling strategy of the possible completions (from the official API documentation: _What sampling temperature to use. Higher values means the model will take more risks. Try 0.9 for more creative applications, and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer. We generally recommend altering this or top_p but not both._)
#' @param top_p numeric (default: 1) specifying sampling strategy as an alternative to the temperature sampling (from the official API documentation: _An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered. We generally recommend altering this or temperature but not both._)
#' @param n numeric (default: 1) specifying the number of completions per request (from the official API documentation: _How many completions to generate for each prompt. **Note: Because this parameter generates many completions, it can quickly consume your token quota.** Use carefully and ensure that you have reasonable settings for max_tokens and stop._)
#' @param logprobs numeric (default: NULL) (from the official API documentation: _Include the log probabilities on the logprobs most likely tokens, as well the chosen tokens. For example, if logprobs is 5, the API will return a list of the 5 most likely tokens. The API will always return the logprob of the sampled token, so there may be up to logprobs+1 elements in the response. The maximum value for logprobs is 5. If you need more than this, please contact support@openai.com and describe your use case._)
#' @param stop character or character vector (default: NULL) that specifies after which character value when the completion should end (from the official API documentation: _Up to 4 sequences where the API will stop generating further tokens. The returned text will not contain the stop sequence._)
#' @param presence_penalty numeric (default: 0) between -2.00 and +2.00 to determine the penalisation of repetitiveness if a token already exists (from the official API documentation: _Number between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values penalize new tokens based on whether they appear in the text so far, increasing the model's likelihood to talk about new topics._). See also: [https://beta.openai.com/docs/api-reference/parameter-details](https://beta.openai.com/docs/api-reference/parameter-details)
#' @param frequency_penalty numeric (default: 0) between -2.00 and +2.00 to determine the penalisation of repetitiveness based on the frequency of a token in the text already (from the official API documentation: _Number between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values penalize new tokens based on their existing frequency in the text so far, decreasing the model's likelihood to repeat the same line verbatim._). See also: [https://beta.openai.com/docs/api-reference/parameter-details](https://beta.openai.com/docs/api-reference/parameter-details)
#' @param best_of numeric (default: 1) that determines the space of possibilities from which to select the completion with the highest probability (from the official API documentation: _Generates `best_of` completions server-side and returns the "best" (the one with the highest log probability per token)_). See details.
#'
#' @return A list with two data tables (if `output_type` is the default "complete"): [[1]] contains the data table with the columns `n` (= the mo. of `n` responses requested), `prompt` (= the prompt that was sent), and `gpt3` (= the completion as returned from the GPT-3 model). [[2]] contains the meta information of the request, including the request id, the parameters of the request and the token usage of the prompt (`tok_usage_prompt`), the completion (`tok_usage_completion`) and the total usage (`tok_usage_total`).
#'
#' If `output_type` is "text", only the data table in slot [[1]] is returned.
#'
#' If `output_type` is "meta", only the data table in slot [[2]] is returned.
#' @examples
#' # First authenticate with your API key via `gpt3_authenticate('pathtokey')`
#'
#' # Once authenticated:
#'
#' ## Simple request with defaults:
#' gpt3_simple_request(prompt_input = 'How old are you?')
#'
#' ## Instruct GPT-3 to write ten research ideas of max. 150 tokens with some controls:
#'gpt3_simple_request(prompt_input = 'Write a research idea about using text data to understand human behaviour:', temperature = 0.8, n = 10, max_tokens = 150)
#'
#' ## For fully reproducible results, we need `temperature = 0`, e.g.:
#' gpt3_simple_request(prompt_input = 'Finish this sentence:/n There is no easier way to learn R than', temperature = 0.0, max_tokens = 50)
#'
#' ## The same example with a different GPT-3 model:
#' gpt3_simple_request(prompt_input = 'Finish this sentence:/n There is no easier way to learn R than', model = 'text-babbage-001', temperature = 0.0, max_tokens = 50)
