Using APIs and Language Models

Let me teach you this and give you a comprehensive guide on how to integrate APIs (RapidAPI) and language models into your Python projects. At the end of this lesson, you will be able to fetch random quotes from an API, analyze them, and translate them into multiple languages using a powerful language model.

This tutorial is inspiration for those who want to develop meaningful applications using AI and open APIs. follow these steps and you are good to go.

Setting Up Your Environment

Before you start coding, make sure you have the following dependencies in you machine. First you need to set up your Python environment and other required libraries as follows:

Step 1: Install Required Libraries

You’ll need the requests library to make HTTP requests and langchain for working with language models. Install these libraries using pip or any other methods that available for you:

Example: Installing the Required Libraries


pip install requests langchain
# or like this
pip install requests
pip install langchain

What is Langchain? Langchain is a remarkable open-source library designed for building, training, and utilizing language models and other natural language processing (NLP) tools. It is a game-changer in the AI field, offering versatile applications for various AI models.

Step 2: Import Necessary Libraries

Create a new Python file (e.g., quote_analysis.py) and import the required libraries:

Example: Importing Libraries


import requests
import json
from langchain.llms import Ollama
from langchain.callbacks.manager import CallbackManager
from langchain.callbacks.streaming_stdout import StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler

3. Installing and Using the Ollama Model

For this tutorial, we will use the Ollama application downloaded and installed on your computer. Ollama is a powerful tool that lets you run the LLaMA model locally.

Step 1: Download and Install Ollama

Go to the official Ollama website and download the application. Follow the installation instructions provided on the website.

Step 2: Download the Specific Model

After installing Ollama, you need to download the specific model you want to use. For this tutorial, we will use the llama3 model.

Open your terminal and run the following command:


ollama run llama3

This command will download and set up the llama3 model on your computer.

Step 3: Set Up the Ollama Model

First, set up the Ollama model using the langchain library. The CallbackManager and StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler will help manage the output from the model:

Example: Setting Up the Ollama Model


ollama_llm = Ollama(
    model="llama3",
    callback_manager=CallbackManager([StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler()])
)

4. Fetching Random Quotes with RapidAPI

We’ll use the RapidAPI platform to fetch random quotes. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Sign Up for RapidAPI

Go to RapidAPI and sign up for an account if you don’t have one already. Once you’re signed in, search for the “Random Famous Quotes” API and subscribe to it.

Step 2: Get Your API Key

After subscribing to the API, navigate to the API’s dashboard and find your API key. You’ll need this key to make requests.

Step 3: Make a Request to the API

Use the requests library to fetch a random quote. Here’s the code:

Example: Sending Request to the API


url = "https://quotes15.p.rapidapi.com/quotes/random/"
headers = {
    "X-RapidAPI-Key": "YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY",
    "X-RapidAPI-Host": "quotes15.p.rapidapi.com"
}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

# Check if the response is successful
if response.status_code == 200:
    # Parse the JSON response
    data = response.json()
    # Extract the quote content
    resultQ = data['content']
    # Display the quote
    print("Generated Quote:", resultQ)
else:
    print("Failed to fetch data:", response.text)

Replace YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY with your actual RapidAPI key.

5. Analyzing and Translating Quotes with a Language Model

We’ll use the langchain library to work with the Ollama language model for analyzing and translating quotes.

Analyze and Translate the Quote Use the Ollama model to analyze and translate the quote:

Example: Analyzing and Translating Quotes using the large Language Model


response = ollama_llm(f"""{resultQ} Understand and translate the generated quote to French, Spanish, and German""")

print("###########")
print(response)

5. Putting It All Together

Here’s the complete code for fetching a quote, analyzing it, and translating it:

Example: See all the code here


import requests
import json
from langchain.llms import Ollama
from langchain.callbacks.manager import CallbackManager
from langchain.callbacks.streaming_stdout import StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler

# Set up the Ollama model
ollama_llm = Ollama(
    model="llama3",
    callback_manager=CallbackManager([StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler()])
)

# Perform the API call to fetch a random quote
url = "https://quotes15.p.rapidapi.com/quotes/random/"
headers = {
    "X-RapidAPI-Key": "YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY",
    "X-RapidAPI-Host": "quotes15.p.rapidapi.com"
}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

# Check if the response is successful
if response.status_code == 200:
    # Parse the JSON response
    data = response.json()
    # Extract the quote content
    resultQ = data['content']
    # Display the quote
    print("Generated Quote:", resultQ)
else:
    print("Failed to fetch data:", response.text)

# Analyze and translate the quote
response = ollama_llm(f"""{resultQ} Understand and translate the generated quote to French, Spanish, and German""")

print("###########")
print(response)

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have explored the integration of the Ollama model with a random quote generator API using Python. By following the steps outlined, you can set up the necessary dependencies, utilize the Ollama model, and effectively fetch and process quotes from the RapidAPI service. This hands-on approach provides a clear understanding of how to leverage advanced language models and APIs to create dynamic and insightful applications.

The combination of Langchain and the Ollama model demonstrates the powerful capabilities of open-source tools in the realm of AI and natural language processing. With these resources, you can not only generate and analyze content but also enhance your projects with sophisticated language models. This tutorial serves as a foundational guide, encouraging further exploration and application of these technologies in diverse and innovative ways.
