OpenAI package leaving linebreak in response - r

Question

I've starting using OpenAI API in R. I downloaded the openai package. I keep getting a double linebreak in the text response. Here's an example of my code:
library(openai)
vector = create_completion(
model = "text-davinci-003",
prompt = "Tell me what the weather is like in London, UK, in Celsius in 5 words.",
max_tokens = 20,
temperature = 0,
echo = FALSE
)
vector_2 = vector$choices[1]
vector_2$text
[1] "\n\nRainy, mild, cool, humid."
Is there a way to get rid of this without 'correcting' the response text using other functions?

Answer 1

No, it's not possible.
The OpenAI API returns the completion with starting \n\n by default. There's no parameter for the Completions endpoint to control this.
You need to remove linebreak manually.
Example response looks like this:
{
"id": "cmpl-uqkvlQyYK7bGYrRHQ0eXlWi7",
"object": "text_completion",
"created": 1589478378,
"model": "text-davinci-003",
"choices": [
{
"text": "\n\nThis is indeed a test",
"index": 0,
"logprobs": null,
"finish_reason": "length"
}
],
"usage": {
"prompt_tokens": 5,
"completion_tokens": 7,
"total_tokens": 12
}
}
