I tried:

• running the server from the released binary
• docker: docker run -d --name chatgpt-free-api xsigoking/chatgpt-free-api
• docker-compose:

version: '3'
services:
  chatgpt-free-api:
    image: xsigoking/chatgpt-free-api:latest
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "3040:3040"

Everything led to the same error:

Login-free ChatGPT is being gradually launched. It may not be available in your current region.

OpenAI, April 1, 2024

Starting today, you can use ChatGPT instantly, without needing to sign-up. We're rolling this out gradually, with the aim to make AI accessible to anyone curious about its capabilities.

Run the following command to check if it is available

curl 'https://chat.openai.com/backend-anon/sentinel/chat-requirements' \
  -H 'accept: */*' \
  -H 'accept-language: en' \
  -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H 'oai-device-id: 31d07b2e-40ae-4af8-9501-573ed853e39b' \
  -H 'oai-language: en-US' \
  -H 'origin: https://chat.openai.com' \
  -H 'pragma: no-cache' \
  -H 'referer: https://chat.openai.com/' \
  -H 'sec-ch-ua: "Google Chrome";v="123", "Not:A-Brand";v="8", "Chromium";v="123"' \
  -H 'sec-ch-ua-mobile: ?0' \
  -H 'sec-ch-ua-platform: "Windows"' \
  -H 'sec-fetch-dest: empty' \
  -H 'sec-fetch-mode: cors' \
  -H 'sec-fetch-site: same-origin' \
  -H 'user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/123.0.0.0 Safari/537.36' \
  --data-raw '{}'

If curl returns {"details":"Unauthorized"}, then login-free ChatGPT is not available in your current region.
