REST Demo

[michaelwechner]

I would like to suggest to develop a minimal web service / REST demo, e.g. rest_demo.py using for example Flask

from flask import Flask
from flask_swagger_ui import get_swaggerui_blueprint

which would allow other applications/services to integrate grounded-qa using REST.

WDYT?

oh that would be great!

I wrote a prototype

https://github.com/wyona/sandbox-grounded-qa/blob/michael_main/rest_demo.py

which can be called with

curl --request POST --url http://localhost:5007/api/v1/ask --header 'content-type: application/json' --data '{ "question":"What is the capital of Brazil?" }'

and the response will be

{"answer":"Brasilia\nSource:\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitals_of_Brazil\nhttps://www.mappr.co/capital-cities/brazil/","relevant_paragraphs":"TODO_PARA","source":"TODO_SOURCE"}

Whereas I think it would be good to extend it, such that one can provide a "site URL" optionally, e.g.

curl --request POST --url http://localhost:5007/api/v1/ask --header 'content-type: application/json' --data '{ "question":"What is the capital of Brazil?","site-url":"https://www.wikipedia.org/" }'

and also that the response returns the relevant paragraphs and source URLs separately.

Thanks! Will be happy to do a PR :-)

I have now also dockerized the REST demo and seems to work fine :-)

There is something strange with the logging though, because part of it seems to get "lost", whereas will try to fix it.

Will try to prepare the PR as a next step :-)

[nickfrosst]

looking forward to it! :)

[michaelwechner]

Need some more time to cleanup things ;-) whereas feel free to cherry-pick in case you want to go ahead.
