Rust Requires Chilkat v11.2.0+

AI: Diagnosing an Ask Failure

See more AI Examples

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

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

let ai = chilkat::Ai::new();

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

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

// Choose a model.
ai.set_model("gpt-5.6-terra");

// Add a text input.
let _ = ai.input_add_text("Say Hello.");

// Ask the AI for text output.
if ai.ask("text").is_err() {
    // 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.response_status_code() == 0 {
        println!("{}", ai.last_error_text());
    } 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.)
        println!("Response status code: {}", ai.response_status_code());

        // The error response (JSON) is available in the LastJsonData.
        let json = chilkat::JsonObject::new();
        json.set_emit_compact(false);
        ai.get_last_json_data(&json);
        println!("{}", json.emit().unwrap_or_default());

        // 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"
        //   }
        // }
    }

    return;
}

// Get the text response.
let sb_response = chilkat::StringBuilder::new();
let _ = ai.get_output_text_sb(&sb_response);
println!("{}", sb_response.get_as_string().unwrap_or_default());
