OpenAPI chain

This notebook shows an example of using an OpenAPI chain to call an endpoint in natural language, and get back a response in natural language.

from langchain.tools import OpenAPISpec, APIOperation
from langchain.chains import OpenAPIEndpointChain
from langchain.requests import Requests
from langchain.llms import OpenAI

Load the spec​

Load a wrapper of the spec (so we can work with it more easily). You can load from a url or from a local file.

spec = OpenAPISpec.from_url(
    "https://www.klarna.com/us/shopping/public/openai/v0/api-docs/"
)
Attempting to load an OpenAPI 3.0.1 spec.  This may result in degraded performance. Convert your OpenAPI spec to 3.1.* spec for better support.
# Alternative loading from file
# spec = OpenAPISpec.from_file("openai_openapi.yaml")

Select the Operation​

In order to provide a focused on modular chain, we create a chain specifically only for one of the endpoints. Here we get an API operation from a specified endpoint and method.

operation = APIOperation.from_openapi_spec(spec, "/public/openai/v0/products", "get")

Construct the chain​

We can now construct a chain to interact with it. In order to construct such a chain, we will pass in:

  1. The operation endpoint
  2. A requests wrapper (can be used to handle authentication, etc)
  3. The LLM to use to interact with it
llm = OpenAI()  # Load a Language Model
chain = OpenAPIEndpointChain.from_api_operation(
    operation,
    llm,
    requests=Requests(),
    verbose=True,
    return_intermediate_steps=True,  # Return request and response text
)
output = chain("whats the most expensive shirt?")

API_SCHEMA: ```typescript
/* API for fetching Klarna product information */
type productsUsingGET = (_: {
/* A precise query that matches one very small category or product that needs to be searched for to find the products the user is looking for. If the user explicitly stated what they want, use that as a query. The query is as specific as possible to the product name or category mentioned by the user in its singular form, and don't contain any clarifiers like latest, newest, cheapest, budget, premium, expensive or similar. The query is always taken from the latest topic, if there is a new topic a new query is started. */
        q: string,
/* number of products returned */
        size?: number,
/* (Optional) Minimum price in local currency for the product searched for. Either explicitly stated by the user or implicitly inferred from a combination of the user's request and the kind of product searched for. */
        min_price?: number,
/* (Optional) Maximum price in local currency for the product searched for. Either explicitly stated by the user or implicitly inferred from a combination of the user's request and the kind of product searched for. */
        max_price?: number,
}) => any;
```

USER_INSTRUCTIONS: "whats the most expensive shirt?"

Your arguments must be plain json provided in a markdown block:

ARGS: ```json
{valid json conforming to API_SCHEMA}
```

Example
-----

ARGS: ```json
{"foo": "bar", "baz": {"qux": "quux"}}
```

The block must be no more than 1 line long, and all arguments must be valid JSON. All string arguments must be wrapped in double quotes.
You MUST strictly comply to the types indicated by the provided schema, including all required args.

If you don't have sufficient information to call the function due to things like requiring specific uuid's, you can reply with the following message:

Message: ```text
Concise response requesting the additional information that would make calling the function successful.
```

You are a helpful AI assistant trained to answer user queries from API responses.
You attempted to call an API, which resulted in:
API_RESPONSE: {"products":[{"name":"Burberry Check Poplin Shirt","url":"https://www.klarna.com/us/shopping/pl/cl10001/3201810981/Clothing/Burberry-Check-Poplin-Shirt/?utm_source=openai&ref-site=openai_plugin","price":"$360.00","attributes":["Material:Cotton","Target Group:Man","Color:Gray,Blue,Beige","Properties:Pockets","Pattern:Checkered"]}]}

USER_COMMENT: "whats the most expensive shirt?"


If the API_RESPONSE can answer the USER_COMMENT respond with the following markdown json block:
Response: ```json
{"response": "Human-understandable synthesis of the API_RESPONSE"}
```

Otherwise respond with the following markdown json block:
Response Error: ```json
{"response": "What you did and a concise statement of the resulting error. If it can be easily fixed, provide a suggestion."}
```

You MUST respond as a markdown json code block. The person you are responding to CANNOT see the API_RESPONSE, so if there is any relevant information there you must include it in your response.

> Finished chain.
The most expensive shirt in the API response is the Burberry Check Poplin Shirt, which costs $360.00.

{'request_args': '{"q": "shirt", "size": 1, "max_price": null}',

Return raw response​

We can also run this chain without synthesizing the response. This will have the effect of just returning the raw API output.

chain = OpenAPIEndpointChain.from_api_operation(
    operation,
    llm,
    requests=Requests(),
    verbose=True,
    return_intermediate_steps=True,  # Return request and response text
    raw_response=True,  # Return raw response
)
