AI: Diagnosing an Ask Failure

See more AI Examples

Demonstrates how to get information about why a request to the AI provider failed. Go

    success := false

    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    ai := chilkat.NewAi()

    // The provider can be "openai", "google", "claude", "deepseek", "xai", or "perplexity".
    // Support for additional providers will be added in future versions of Chilkat.
    ai.SetProvider("openai")

    // In this case, we're going to cause an intentional failure by using an invalid API key.
    ai.SetApiKey("sk-11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111k")

    // Choose a model.
    ai.SetModel("gpt-4o")

    // Add a text input.
    ai.InputAddText("Say Hello.")

    // Ask the AI for text output.
    success = ai.Ask("text")
    if success == false {
        // If the response status code equals 0, it means the error occurred before receiving the HTTP response.
        // For this case look at the LastErrorText.
        if ai.ResponseStatusCode() == 0 {
            fmt.Println(ai.LastErrorText())
        } else {
            // If we received an error response, the status code will be >= 400.
            // (Ask would've returned true if the response status code was 200.)
            fmt.Println("Response status code: ", ai.ResponseStatusCode())

            // The error response (JSON) is available in the LastJsonData.
            json := chilkat.NewJsonObject()
            json.SetEmitCompact(false)
            ai.GetLastJsonData(json)
            fmt.Println(*json.Emit())

            // Sample output:
            // {
            //   "error": {
            //     "message": "Incorrect API key provided: sk-11111***************************************111k. You can find your API key at https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys.",
            //     "type": "invalid_request_error",
            //     "param": null,
            //     "code": "invalid_api_key"
            //   }
            // }
        }

        ai.DisposeAi()
        json.DisposeJsonObject()
        return
    }

    // Get the text response.
    sbResponse := chilkat.NewStringBuilder()
