Flask App with Anthropic API and OpenAlex API

This repository contains a Flask application that connects with the Anthropic API and retrieves data from the OpenAlex API. The goal is to receive queries on an endpoint, search for data on the OpenAlex API, and return the retrieved works.

Setup and Run the Flask Application

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/githubnext/workspace-blank.git
   cd workspace-blank

2. Create and activate a virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate

3. Install the dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Set up the Anthropic API key:

   • Anthropic: Sign up on Anthropic and get your API key.

5. Create a .env file in the root directory and add your API key:

   ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_api_key

6. Run the Flask application:

   flask run

Using the Flask Application

1. Send a GET request to the /query endpoint with the query as a parameter:

   curl -X GET "http://127.0.0.1:5000/query?question=your_query_here"

2. The Flask application will call the OpenAlex API to retrieve data based on the query.

3. The retrieved data will be returned as a JSON response:

   {
       "works": [
           {
               "doi": "10.1234/example",
               "title": "Example Title",
               "abstract": "This is an example abstract.",
               "pub_year": 2021
           },
           ...
       ]
   }

Example

Here is an example of how to use the Flask application:

1. Start the Flask application:

   flask run

2. Send a GET request to the /query endpoint:

   curl -X GET "http://127.0.0.1:5000/query?question=What+is+the+impact+of+climate+change+on+marine+life?"

3. You will receive a JSON response with the retrieved works:

   {
       "works": [
           {
               "doi": "10.1234/example",
               "title": "Impact of Climate Change on Marine Life",
               "abstract": "This study explores the effects of climate change on marine ecosystems.",
               "pub_year": 2021
           },
           ...
       ]
   }

Notes

• Make sure to replace your_anthropic_api_key with your actual API key in the .env file.
• You can customize the OpenAlex API calls and the Anthropic prompts as needed.
