# OpenAI Function Calling

## Overview

The integration of **OpenAI Function Calling** and **Dappier SDK** allows developers to build **real-time, intelligent applications** that combine the reasoning capabilities of **LLMs (Large Language Models)** with **fresh, accurate data** from trusted sources. By using OpenAI’s function-calling capabilities with Dappier’s live data APIs, developers can build **context-aware assistants, research tools, and intelligent automation systems** with **precision, reliability, and efficiency**.

## OpenAI Function Calling

**OpenAI Function Calling** enables developers to define structured functions that LLMs can call based on user inputs. This allows LLMs to interact with **external APIs**, trigger **custom logic**, and return **structured results** automatically without hallucination.

### Features of Function Calling:

* **Structured Output** – LLMs return JSON that maps to function parameters.
* **Dynamic API Calls** – Automate API calls based on LLM understanding.
* **Safety & Control** – Execute only approved, validated functions.
* **Multi-Step Reasoning** – Enable tool-using chains for complex queries.

## Dappier

**Dappier SDK** is a **real-time AI data platform** that connects **LLMs and AI functions** to **rights-cleared, up-to-date data sources**. It ensures that function calls return **accurate, verified information**, eliminating reliance on static or hallucinated content.

### Key Capabilities of Dappier:

* **Real-Time Search** – Pull live insights on markets, events, weather, and more.
* **AI Recommendations** – Enable intelligent, suggestion-based outputs.
* **Verified Data Sources** – Ensures results are current and reliable.

## Why Integrate OpenAI Function Calling and Dappier SDK?

By combining OpenAI Function Calling with Dappier, developers can:

* **Empower AI models with live data access** for better answers.
* **Execute dynamic workflows** using real-time function responses.
* **Avoid hallucination** by grounding answers in verified data.
* **Automate insights** across finance, travel, content, and more.

### Example Use Cases:

1. **Stock Market Insights**: Use LLMs to call functions that return **live stock news** and data for trading decisions.
2. **Travel Assistance**: Generate **custom travel plans** based on live local events and weather updates.
3. **Live Content Summarization**: Trigger **real-time summarization** of news or reports.
4. **Real-Time Notifications**: Automate **alerts on market movements or weather warnings**.

## Basic Use Case: OpenAI Function Calling + Dappier SDK

### Fetching Real-Time Financial News (Python Code Example)

Before getting started, make sure you have access to your **Dappier API Key** at [Dappier API Key Management](https://platform.dappier.com/profile/api-keys).

```bash theme={null}
pip install openai dappier
```

```python Python theme={null}
from openai import OpenAI
from dappier import Dappier
import os, getpass
import json

# Secure API Key Setup
os.environ["DAPPIER_API_KEY"] = getpass.getpass("Enter your Dappier API Key: ")
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = getpass.getpass("Enter your OpenAI API Key: ")

dappier_client = Dappier()

# Function to call from OpenAI
def fetch_financial_news(query: str) -> str:
    """Fetch real-time financial news using Dappier SDK."""
    response = dappier_client.search_real_time_data(query=query, ai_model_id="am_01j749h8pbf7ns8r1bq9s2evrh")
    return response.message if response else "No financial news found."

# Define function schema for OpenAI
functions = [
    {
        "name": "fetch_financial_news",
        "description": "Fetch the latest financial news based on a topic.",
        "parameters": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "query": {
                    "type": "string",
                    "description": "The financial topic to search for (e.g., earnings, tech stocks)"
                }
            },
            "required": ["query"]
        }
    }
]

# Sample OpenAI chat with function calling
response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
    model="gpt-4",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What’s the latest news on electric vehicle stocks?"}],
    functions=functions,
    function_call="auto"
)
```
