GitBook Java/Kotlin API

A community-maintained easy-to-use Java/Kotlin GitBook API for searching wiki pages, and using the Lens feature to ask questions. Great for chatbots.

Features

• Search for searching and asking questions.

Installation

For Kotlin DSL (build.gradle.kts), add this to your dependencies block:

dependencies {
    implementation("com.cjcrafter:gitbook:1.0.0")
}

For Maven projects, add this to your pom.xml file in the <dependencies> block:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.cjcrafter</groupId>
    <artifactId>gitbook</artifactId>

</dependency>

See the maven repository for gradle/ant/etc.

Working Example

fun main() {
    val gitbook = GitBookApi.builder()
        .apiKey("gb_api_yourapikey")
        .build()
    val request = AskRequest(query = "what is the meaning to life?")
    //val location = SearchLocation.Organization("MgHAZkcfIhs3YcmBjk2r")

    val response = gitbook.ask(request)
    if (response.isFailure) {
        println("Failed to connect to API: ${response.exceptionOrNull()}")
        return
    }

    val answer = response.getOrThrow().answer
    if (answer == null) {
        println("You must have asked for forbidden knowledge, since the wiki could not confidently answer your question.")
        return
    }

    println("The wiki says: ${answer.text}")
}

Note: You should not include your API key in your code.
