The requested module 'openai' does not provide an export named 'Configuration' error

Question

I'm trying to build an AI image generating website using MERN and I got this error:

The requested module 'openai' does not provide an export named 'Configuration'.

file:///C:/Users/Rashmika%20Satish/ai_website/server/routes/dalleRoutes.js:3 import {Configuration, OpenAIApi} from 'openai'; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ SyntaxError: The requested module 'openai' does not provide an export named 'Configuration' at ModuleJob._instantiate (node:internal/modules/esm/module_job:124:21) at async ModuleJob.run (node:internal/modules/esm/module_job:190:5)

Node.js v18.15.0 [nodemon] app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting...

this is the dalleRoutes.js page:

import express from 'express';
import * as dotenv from 'dotenv';
import {Configuration, OpenAIApi} from 'openai';



dotenv.config();

const router = express.Router();

This is the index.js page:

import express from 'express'
import *  as dotenv from 'dotenv';
import cors from 'cors';

import connectDB from './mongodb/connect.js';

import postRoutes from './routes/postRoutes.js';
import dalleRoutes from './routes/dalleRoutes.js';

dotenv.config();

const app = express();
app.use(cors());
app.use(express.json({limit: '50mb'}));

app.use('/api/v1/post', postRoutes);
app.use('/api/v1/dalle', dalleRoutes);

app.get('/', async(req, res)=>{
    res.send('Hello from CreateAI');
})

const startServer = async () =>{


    try{
        connectDB(process.env.MONGODB_URL);
        app.listen(8080, () => console.log('Server has started on port http://localhost:8080'))
    }catch(error){
         console.log(error);
    }
    

}
startServer();

This is the postRoutes.js page

import express from 'express';
import * as dotenv from 'dotenv';
import {v2 as cloudinary} from 'cloudinary';

import Post from '../mongodb/models/post.js';

dotenv.config();

const router = express.Router();

Answer 1

import OpenAI from 'openai';

const openai = new OpenAI({
     apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY // This is also the default, can be omitted
});
