Quickstart Project Answer Search with Python

The following Python example creates and sends a request for information about "Rock of Gibraltar".

Prerequisites

Get an access key for the free trial Cognitive Research Technologies

This example uses Python 3.6.4

Code scenario

The following code creates a URL Preview. It is implemented in the following steps:

  1. Declare variables to specify the endpoint by host and path.
  2. Specify the query URL to preview, and add the query parameter.
  3. Set the query parameter.
  4. Define the Search function that creates the request and adds the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key header.
  5. Set the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key header.
  6. Make the connection, and send the request.
  7. Print the JSON results.

The complete code for this demo follows:

import http.client, urllib.parse
import json

# Replace the subscriptionKey string value with your valid subscription key.
subscriptionKey = 'YOUR-SUBSCRIPTION-KEY'

host = 'https://api.labs.cognitive.microsoft.com'
path = '/answerSearch/v7.0/search '

query = 'Rock of Gibraltar'

params = '?q=' + urllib.parse.quote (query) + '&mkt=en-us'

def get_local():
    headers = {'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key': subscriptionKey}
    conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection (host)
    conn.request ("GET", path + params, None, headers)
    response = conn.getresponse ()
    return response.read ()

result = get_local()
print (json.dumps(json.loads(result), indent=4))
