Show HN: Zapier's first API
36 by mikeknoop | 8 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN! We launched Zapier way back in 2012 on HN: https://ift.tt/WhSLo8n and thought we'd return home to announce something special and hopefully exciting :) We are trying to finally live up to the "API" in our name with Zapier's first universal API: Natural Language Actions – https://ift.tt/0BX9H1C API docs – https://ift.tt/2bLInr7 (to be fair, we have published APIs before that can access Zapier data, but never before one devs can use to directly call the 5k+ apps / 20k+ actions on our platform) For example, you can use the API to: * Send messages in Slack * Retrieve a row in a Google Sheet * Draft a reply in Gmail * ... and thousands more actions with one universal API We optimized NLA for use cases that receive user input in natural language (think chatbots, assistants, or any product/feature using LLMs) -- but not strictly required! Folks have asked for an API for 10 years and I've always been slightly embarrassed we didn't have one. We hesitated because we did not want to pass along our universe of complexity to end devs. With the help of LLMs we found some cool patterns to deliver the API we always wanted. My co-founder/CTO Bryan did an interview with Garry on YC blog with more details: https://ift.tt/xRSK6TA... We also published a LangChain integration to show off some possibilities: * Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEK_9wLYEHU * Jupyter notebook: https://ift.tt/T5rfsjN We know the API is not perfect but we're excited and eager for feedback to help shape it.

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Natural language Twitter search using Codex

Show HN: Natural language Twitter search using Codex 3 by andyk | 0 comments on Hacker News. We built a structured search engine for Twitter called Bird SQL, available at https://ift.tt/7BU0hHb . Our search interface uses OpenAI Codex to translate natural language to SQL. Our backend then verifies the SQL, executes it, and displays the results on the web app. This makes large structured datasets like a scrape of Twitter easy for anyone to explore. As background, while working on text-to-SQL as a general problem, we came to believe one of its most powerful applications is as a search tool because: - SQL is hard to write by hand and prone to errors - It allows you to iterate quickly if you’re exploring a new dataset - A lot of contextual information that you’d normally have to internalize (e.g. your data’s schema) can be automatically generated and offloaded to the language model Using large language models (LLMs) like Codex to write the SQL for you means you don’t have to worry about

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Movis – A Video Editing Library in Python

Show HN: Movis – A Video Editing Library in Python 2 by rezoolab | 0 comments on Hacker News. Originally, this library was created due to my motivation to make videos in Python. Of course, I considered other Python libraries, but I decided to create a new library for video editing because I needed the following features and also for study purposes: - The existence of composition. Especially, the ability to perform advanced video editing by inserting compositions within compositions. - The ability to add animations based on keyframes. - Effects like chroma key and drop shadow. - A caching mechanism to render the same frame quickly. - Various blending modes. These features, despite being standard in proprietary video editing software, were not present in previous Python libraries. Currently, I am using this library to automatically generate videos from raw materials. I would be grateful for any comments, thoughts, or requests.
