How to use last demo on Async

[zhouzhang829]

How can I use the last dev demo Async for better visual in my terminal?
Do I have to write a new script or something?

[hrizal]

as an alternative way of accessing with one question

1. install edgegpt and create cookies file from chrome
   as described in README.md
   check :

• Checking access
• Getting authentication

2. copy paste this script, save as edgegpt-api.py

import asyncio
import sys
import json
from EdgeGPT import Chatbot, ConversationStyle

if len(sys.argv) > 1:
    prompt = sys.argv[1]
else:
    sys.exit

async def main():
    bot = Chatbot('./cookies.json')
    result = await bot.ask(prompt=prompt, conversation_style=ConversationStyle.creative)   
    print(result['item']['messages'][1]['text'])
    await bot.close()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

use from command line (CLI)
python3 edgegpt-api.py "your question here"

You can wrap it in another programming language

Yes, this should work.But every time run "python3 edgegpt-api.py", need to import and load cookies.json， this need several second. It will be not very good experiense. Right?

[hrizal]

the time to import and load cookies is insignificant,
but indeed getting answer from chatgpt takes seconds

I'm using it as a chatbot, and users willing to wait for a satisfactory answer 😅

i am also combining with edgegpt, if chatgpt cant answer

Loading cookies take seconds? It's just reading a file and parsing it.

I think the issue is that the initial handshake takes a while due to the websocket module.
