It is possible to connect ModelsLab API to Actions?

4

Hi @Kimi Modellabs has REST APIs so yes you can connect to it through actions

5

I would love for perplexity to be an option

6

@lloydpearsoniv you can connect to perplexity with a custom action

7

Here you go. You can use this code to create the action:

import os
import requests

def perplexity(user_query: str):
“”"
Uses perplexity to search for news on the web

Args:
    user_query (string): Search the web for user's query
Envs:
    PERPLEXITY_API (string): API for perplexity search
"""

url = "https://api.perplexity.ai/chat/completions"

payload = {
    "model": "llama-3.1-sonar-small-128k-online",
    "messages": [
        {
            "role": "system",
            "content": "Be precise and concise."
        },
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": user_query
        }
    ]
}
headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['PERPLEXITY_API']}",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

try:
    response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)
    response.raise_for_status()
    return response.json()
except requests.RequestException as e:
    return {"error": f"API request failed: {str(e)}"}

Example usage

result = perplexity(“What are the latest developments in AI?”)

print(result)

@andreab Please explain how I can use the action to connect perplexity. I don’t know how to do it, and I don’t know much about coding. Thanks

@stephenasuncion we should make a pre-built perplexity action!

I know but I want it to be one of the available models that you can choose from

You can also do the same thing for the OpenAI o1 preview and o1 mini models. Create prebuilt actions for them.

@saabia describe what you are trying to achieve. You want the pickaxe to send some data to Perplexity I assume. Where does the data come from and what you want to achieve after perplexity returns an answer?

13

Yes please, a native perplexity action would be great

Hi @zerodot , thanks for this!!

Can you mock up what the code would look like with my perpexity API code?
