# Python (Django)

In a Django application, you might want to create a view that makes the API call and returns the result to the client. Here's how you can do it:

First, in your views.py file, add the following code:

```python
from django.http import JsonResponse
import requests
import os
import json

def book_search(request):
    query = request.GET.get('query', '')
    url = "https://api.promptjoy.com/api/mVMCpq"
    headers = {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'x-api-key': os.getenv('PROMPTJOY_API_KEY')
    }
    data = {
        'query': query
    }
    response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data))

    if response.status_code == 200:
        return JsonResponse(response.json(), safe=False)
    else:
        return JsonResponse({'error': f"Request failed with status {response.status_code}"}, status=response.status_code)

```

In this example, the search term is expected to be passed as a query parameter named `query` in the request to the `book_search` view. The search results are then returned as a JSON response.

Then, in your urls.py file, add a URL pattern for this view:

```python
from django.urls import path
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('book_search/', views.book_search, name='book_search'),
]

```

\
This example uses the `requests` library, which is a popular choice for making HTTP requests in Python. If you haven't installed it yet, you can do so with `pip install requests`.

Remember to handle exceptions and errors as needed in your actual application code.

Note: In this example, the API key is retrieved from environment variables for security reasons. Ensure that you've set the `PROMPTJOY_API_KEY` environment variable in your environment where this code will be executed.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.promptjoy.com/api/api-usage/python-django.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
