aiohttp-poe

aiohttp_poe

An implementation of the Poe protocol using aiohttp.

To run it:

• Create a virtual environment (Python 3.7 or higher)
• pip install .
• python -m aiohttp_poe
• In a different terminal, run ngrok to make it publicly accessible

Write your own bot

This package can also be used as a base to write your own bot. You can inherit from aiohttp_poe.PoeBot to make a bot:

from aiohttp_poe import PoeBot, run

class EchoBot(PoeBot):
    async def get_response(self, query, request):
        last_message = query["query"][-1]["content"]
        yield self.text_event(last_message)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    run(EchoBot())

Enable authentication

Poe servers send requests containing Authorization HTTP header in the format "Bearer <api_key>," where api_key is the API key configured in the bot settings. \

To validate the requests are from Poe Servers, you can either set the environment variable POE_API_KEY or pass the parameter api_key in the run function like:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    run(EchoBot(), api_key=<key>)
