Example Workflow for the IRIS API Interface Generator

Below is a step-by-step guide on how to use the IRIS API Interface Generator. This example showcases a basic API query scenario, from pasting the API documentation to submitting a query and viewing the responses.

Step 1: Paste the API Documentation

In this step, the user copies the API documentation into the provided textarea. This documentation will be processed to generate a query form.

Step 2: Generate the Form

After pasting the API documentation, the user clicks the “Generate Form” button. The tool processes the documentation and generates a form based on the parameters provided in the API documentation.

Step 3: Submit the Query

Once the form is generated, the user can fill in the required fields and click the “Submit Query” button to send the request to the API. The response from the API will be displayed below the form.

Instructional Guide

The application includes an instructional guide that provides detailed steps on how to use the IRIS API Interface Generator. This guide can be toggled for visibility during the usage of the application.

IRIS API Interface Generator

What is the IRIS API Interface Generator?

The IRIS API Interface Generator is a powerful application that allows users to interact with third-party APIs by generating dynamic forms based on the APIs’ documentation. By simply pasting the API documentation into the tool, users can create custom query forms that enable them to send requests directly to the API and receive responses, all without manual coding.

Key Features

• Dynamic Form Generation: Automatically generates user-friendly forms from pasted API documentation.
• Direct API Interaction: Allows submission of queries directly to third-party APIs using the generated forms.
• Response Display and Saving: Displays API responses and provides options to save them for future reference.
• Instructional Guide: Includes an in-app instructional component to assist users.
• Modern UI: Built with Vue.js and styled with Tailwind CSS for a responsive and intuitive interface.

Quickstart

Setup and Configuration

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/mindfulcoder49/iris-api-interface-generator
   cd iris-api-interface-generator
   

2. Create a .env File:

   • Place it in the root directory with your Docker file.

   • Add your OPENAI_API_KEY.

     OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-openai-api-key
     

3. Run docker-compose build:

   • The Docker file and entrypoint.sh script will handle the rest of the installation and migration.

4. Change Permissions on the Repository Folder:

   • To allow the Docker container’s internal users to write to the repository directory, set full permissions.

     chmod -R 777 ..
     

5. Run docker-compose up:

   • This will start the application.

Usage

1. Access the Application:

   • Frontend: http://localhost:53795/django

• Responses Section: Displays API responses with an option to save them.
• Instructional Component: Provides a guide on how to use the application.

Using the Interface

Paste API Documentation

• Description: Paste your API documentation (e.g., Swagger specs, OpenAPI definitions) into the provided textarea.

Generate Form Button

• Description: Click this button to generate a dynamic form based on the pasted API documentation.

Generated Query Form

• Description: Fill out the dynamically generated form fields that correspond to the API’s parameters.

Submit Query Button

• Description: After completing the form, click this button to submit your query directly to the third-party API.

Developer Tips

• OpenAI API Key: Ensure your OpenAI API key is correctly set in the .env file.
• CSRF Tokens: The application uses CSRF tokens for security. Ensure that the CSRF token is included in your requests.
• API Rate Limits: Be mindful of any rate limits imposed by the third-party APIs and OpenAI.

---

Backend

Views

query_openai(request)

Description:

• Receives the API documentation from the frontend.
• Uses OpenAI’s GPT-4 to parse the documentation and generate form fields and the base URL.
• Returns the form fields and base URL to the frontend for form rendering.

Key Points:

• Validates that the prompt (API documentation) is provided.
• Uses OpenAI’s function calling feature to extract necessary information.
• Handles exceptions and returns appropriate error messages.

submit_query(request)

Description:

• Receives the base URL and form data from the frontend.
• Makes a GET request to the third-party API using the provided data.
• Returns the API’s response to the frontend.

Key Points:

• Validates that both base_url and form_data are provided.
• Uses the requests library to interact with the third-party API.
• Handles HTTP errors and exceptions, providing meaningful error messages.

save_query(request)

Description:

• Saves the API response to the database for future reference.
• Returns a success message upon successful save.

Key Points:

• Utilizes Django REST Framework serializers for data validation.
• Ensures data integrity and handles validation errors.

Dependencies

• Django: The web framework used for the backend.
• Django REST Framework: Facilitates the creation of RESTful APIs.
• OpenAI Python Library: For interacting with OpenAI’s GPT-4 model.
• Requests: For making HTTP requests to third-party APIs.
• JSON: For handling JSON data serialization and deserialization.
• VueCookies: For managing cookies, specifically for CSRF tokens.

Here’s a README.md section for your iris-bloom script:

Iris-Bloom: Docker Workflow Script

iris-bloom is a lightweight command-line tool inspired by Laravel Sail, designed to simplify the development process when working with Django, Vue, and IRIS within Docker. It automates common Docker commands and integrates them with your Django, Vue.js, and IRIS environment for easier management.

Prerequisites

• Ensure docker-compose is installed and properly configured in your environment.
• Define your services in the docker-compose.yml file (ensure the service name aligns with the SERVICE_NAME in the script).

Usage

The following commands can be used to manage your Docker environment efficiently:

Start IRIS

./iris-bloom start-iris

Starts the IRIS service within the Docker container by executing the start-iris.sh script inside the container.

Restart IRIS

./iris-bloom restart-iris

Restarts the IRIS service using the restart-iris.sh script.

Install Python Dependencies

./iris-bloom install-python-deps

Installs Python dependencies inside the container by executing the install-python-deps.sh script.

Reload Production

./iris-bloom reload-production

Reloads the production environment by running the reload-production.sh script.

Build Frontend

./iris-bloom build-frontend

Builds the frontend (Vue.js) using the build-frontend.sh script.

Reinstall Frontend

./iris-bloom reinstall-frontend

Reinstalls the frontend dependencies and rebuilds the project.

Django Build

./iris-bloom django-build

Builds the Django application using the django-build.sh script.

Django Manage

./iris-bloom django-manage 

Executes Django management commands inside the container (e.g., ./iris-bloom django-manage migrate).

Build Container

./iris-bloom build

Builds the Docker container using docker-compose build.

Rebuild Container (No Cache)

./iris-bloom rebuild

Rebuilds the Docker container from scratch, bypassing the cache.

Start the Container

./iris-bloom start

Starts the container in detached mode using docker-compose up.

Stop the Container

./iris-bloom stop

Stops the running container.

Restart the Container

./iris-bloom restart

Restarts the container.

Delete the Container

./iris-bloom delete

Stops and removes the container.

Customization

You can modify the SERVICE_NAME and APP_ROOT in the script to suit your Docker Compose setup and the location of your application scripts.

Example Workflow

# Step 1: Build the container
./iris-bloom build
Step 2: Start the container
./iris-bloom start
Step 3: Install Python dependencies
./iris-bloom install-python-deps
Step 4: Build the frontend
./iris-bloom build-frontend
Step 5: Run Django management commands
./iris-bloom django-manage migrate

Troubleshooting

• If your services are not responding, ensure the container is running by executing docker-compose ps.
• Check if the service names in your docker-compose.yml match the SERVICE_NAME variable in the script.
