\description{
Access to GPT-3's functions requires an API key that you obtain from \url{https://openai.com/api/}. \code{gpt3.authenticate()} accepts your API key and ensures that you can connect to the models. \code{gpt3.endsession()} overwrites your API key \emph{for this session} (it is recommended that you run this when you are done). \code{check_apikey_form()} is a simple check if any information has been provided at all.

\examples{
# Starting a session:
gpt3.authenticate(apikey = 'REPLACE_THIS_WITH_YOUR_KEY')
# After you are finished:
gpt3.endsession()
