 1 | # perplexity-thing
 2 | 
 3 | update:
 4 | Hi everyone :]
 5 | i was really busy with work and had no time to update this code, but everything finally settled down and now i can work on this thing again 👍🏻
 6 | 
 7 | 
 8 | this is an api wrapper of perplexity.ai that was made by me, a very dumb fella.
 9 | (i am new to github and python in general, so please don't expect me to fix all of the bugs :>)
10 | 
11 | 
12 | **Usage:**
13 | 
14 | you can use the python file in your project by importing it:
15 | 
16 | ```import perplexitymain```
17 | 
18 | due to the fact that i don't know how to make good wrappers, this script uses selenium and Chrome to get the text and other stuff. to download it, go to https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads
19 | 
20 | to send a request, you need to call ```ask(*your input text*, *path to chrome*)```
21 | 
22 | you will get a list of multiple objects, the first is going to be the main text that the ai has generated, and the others are the sources.
23 | 
24 | Please expect for this script not to work sometimes <3
25 | 
26 | 
27 | **TODO:**
28 | 
29 | * Add a proper way to send requests to the webstite
30 | * (somehow) bypass the cloudflare  check
31 | * add a support for a follow up
32 | 
33 | 
34 | *also please dont sue me this is a small test project, i will take it down if this gets illegal :[*
