Fix Plan

To integrate the WordOrb API with the LangChain tools, we need to implement authentication and API calls.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Install required libraries: requests for API calls and python-dotenv for environment variable management.
  2. Set API key as environment variable: Create a .env file with WORDORB_API_KEY=wo_your_key_here.
  3. Implement authentication: Use the requests library to set the Bearer token in API calls.
  4. Create API call functions: Implement functions for each tool (WordLookupTool, DailyLessonTool, QuizTool, GraphTool) using the requests library.

Example Code

import requests
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

WORDORB_API_KEY = os.getenv('WORDORB_API_KEY')
BASE_URL = 'https://wordorb.ai/api'

def word_lookup(word):
    headers = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {WORDORB_API_KEY}'}
    response = requests.get(f'{BASE_URL}/word/{word}', headers=headers)
    return response.json()

def daily_lesson():
    headers = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {WORDORB_API_KEY}'}
    response = requests.get(f'{BASE_URL}/lesson', headers=headers)
    return response.json()

Verification

Test the API call functions using sample words and verify the response data.

Extra Tips

  • Handle API rate limits and errors using try-except blocks and retry mechanisms.
  • Implement logging for API calls and responses for debugging purposes.
  • Consider using a more secure method for storing and managing API keys.
