API Request and Prompt Creation

Configure a request to the IMDB API to get details for a specific movie in the chatbot.

Main Steps

Configuring the API Request

• Created a new endpoint for movie details

• Configured the URL to accept the parameter dynamically

Implementation in the Chatbot

1. In the click event:

   • Added await ready to ensure the data is loaded
   • Selected the movie in the all_movies table
   • Retrieved the ID of the selected movie

2. Made the request to the IMDB API

   • Used the movie API client
   • Passed the movie_id dynamically
   • Stored the result in a Step

3. Processing the Response

   • Called the movie assistant bot
   • Built a prompt with the movie's official information
   • Converted the result to JSON
   • Generated a detailed response about the movie

Final Result

The chatbot can now:

• Identify the movie
