Building our own J.A.R.V.I.S. using Python - Part II

#programming #python

Image description

In the last part, we had completed the setup of our personal assistant. In this part, we'll add various offline and online functions that our personal assistant will be able to perform. We'll be using various APIs to fetch data from different sources. Let's get started and create a folder called functions.

Offline Functions

Inside the functionsfolder, create a Python file called os_ops.py. In this file, we'll create various functions to interact with the OS.

import os
import subprocess as sp

paths = {
    'notepad': "C:\\Program Files\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe",
    'discord': "C:\\Users\\ashut\\AppData\\Local\\Discord\\app-1.0.9003\\Discord.exe",
    'calculator': "C:\\Windows\\System32\\calc.exe"
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

In the above script, we have created a dictionary called pathswhich has a software name as the key and its path as the value. You can change the paths as per your system and add more software paths if required.

1. Open Camera

This function will be used to open the camera in our system. We'll be using the subprocess module to run the command.

def open_camera():
    sp.run('start microsoft.windows.camera:', shell=True)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2. Open Notepad and Discord

These functions will be used to open Notepad++ and Discord in the system.

def open_notepad():
    os.startfile(paths['notepad'])

def open_discord():
    os.startfile(paths['discord'])
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3. Open Command Prompt

This function will be used to open the command prompt in our system.

def open_cmd():
    os.system('start cmd')
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

4. Open Calculator

This function will be used to open the calculator on our system.

def open_calculator():
    sp.Popen(paths['calculator'])
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Online Functions

We'll be adding several online functions. They are:

  1. Find my IP address
  2. Search on Wikipedia
  3. Play videos on YouTube
  4. Search on Google
  5. Send WhatsApp message
  6. Send Email
  7. Get Latest News Headlines
  8. Get Weather Report
  9. Get Trending Movies
  10. Get Random Jokes
  11. Get Random Advice

Let's create a file called online_ops.py within the functionsdirectory, and start creating these functions one after another. For now, add the following code in the file.

import requests
import wikipedia
import pywhatkit as kit
from email.message import EmailMessage
import smtplib
from decouple import config
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Before we start working with APIs, if you're not familiar with APIs and how to interact with them using Python, check out this tutorial.

1. Find my IP Address

ipify provides a simple public IP address API. We just need to make a GET request on this URL: https://api64.ipify.org/?format=json. It returns JSON data as:

{
  "ip": "117.214.111.199"
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

We can then simply return the ip from the JSON data. So, let's create this method:

def find_my_ip():
    ip_address = requests.get('https://api64.ipify.org?format=json').json()
    return ip_address["ip"]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2. Search on Wikipedia

For searching on Wikipedia, we'll be using the wikipedia module that we had installed in the first part.

def search_on_wikipedia(query):
    results = wikipedia.summary(query, sentences=2)
    return results
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Inside the wikipediamodule, we have a summary() method that accepts a query as an argument. Additionally, we can also pass the number of sentences required. Then we simply return the result.

3. Play Videos on YouTube

For playing videos on YouTube, we are using PyWhatKit. We have already imported it as kit.

def play_on_youtube(video):
    kit.playonyt(video)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

PyWhatKit has a playonyt() method that accepts a topic as an argument. It then searches the topic on YouTube and plays the most appropriate video. It used PyAutoGUI under the hood.

4. Search on Google

Again we'll be using PyWhatKit for searching on Google.

def search_on_google(query):
    kit.search(query)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

It has a method search() that helps us search on Google instantly.

5. Send WhatsApp Message

We'll be using PyWhatKit once again for sending WhatsApp messages.

def send_whatsapp_message(number, message):
    kit.sendwhatmsg_instantly(f"+91{number}", message)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Our method accepts two arguments- the phone number number and the message. It then calls the sendwhatmsg_instantly() method to send a WhatsApp message.

6. Send Email

For sending emails, we will be using the built-in smtp module from Python.

EMAIL = config("EMAIL")
PASSWORD = config("PASSWORD")

def send_email(receiver_address, subject, message):
    try:
        email = EmailMessage()
        email['To'] = receiver_address
        email["Subject"] = subject
        email['From'] = EMAIL
        email.set_content(message)
        s = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com", 587)
        s.starttls()
        s.login(EMAIL, PASSWORD)
        s.send_message(email)
        s.close()
        return True
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)
        return False
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The method accepts receiver_address, subject, and messageas arguments. Make sure you add EMAIL and PASSWORD in the .env file.

7. Get Latest News Headlines

To fetch the latest news headlines, we'll be using NewsAPI. Signup for a free account on NewsAPI and get the API Key. Add the NEWS_API_KEY in the .env file.

NEWS_API_KEY = config("NEWS_API_KEY")

def get_latest_news():
    news_headlines = []
    res = requests.get(
        f"https://newsapi.org/v2/top-headlines?country=in&apiKey={NEWS_API_KEY}&category=general").json()
    articles = res["articles"]
    for article in articles:
        news_headlines.append(article["title"])
    return news_headlines[:5]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

In the above method, we're first creating an empty list news_headlines. We are then making a GET request on the API URL specified in the NewsAPI Documentation. A sample JSON response from the request looks like this:

    }
  ]
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Since the news is contained in a list called articles, we are creating a variable articleswith the value res['articles'].Now we are iterating over this articleslist and appending the article["title"]to thenews_headlineslist .We are then returning the first five news headlines from this list.

8. Get Weather Report

To get the weather report, we're using the OpenWeatherMap API. Signup for a free account and get the APP ID. Make sure you add the OPENWEATHER_APP_ID in the .env file.

OPENWEATHER_APP_ID = config("OPENWEATHER_APP_ID")

def get_weather_report(city):
    res = requests.get(
        f"http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q={city}&appid={OPENWEATHER_APP_ID}&units=metric").json()
    weather = res["weather"][0]["main"]
    temperature = res["main"]["temp"]
    feels_like = res["main"]["feels_like"]
    return weather, f"{temperature}℃", f"{feels_like}℃"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

As per the OpenWeatherMap API, we need to make a GET request on the above-mentioned URL with the city name. We'll get a JSON response as:

{
    "coord": {
        "lon": 85,
        "lat": 24.7833
    },
    "weather": [
        {
            "id": 721,
            "main": "Haze",
            "description": "haze",
            "icon": "50d"
        }
    ],
    "base": "stations",
    "main": {
        "temp": 26.95,
        "feels_like": 26.64,
        "temp_min": 26.95,
        "temp_max": 26.95,
        "pressure": 1011,
        "humidity": 36
    },
    "visibility": 3000,
    "wind": {
        "speed": 2.57,
        "deg": 310
    },
    "clouds": {
        "all": 57
    },
    "dt": 1637227634,
    "sys": {
        "type": 1,
        "id": 9115,
        "country": "IN",
        "sunrise": 1637195904,
        "sunset": 1637235130
    },
    "timezone": 19800,
    "id": 1271439,
    "name": "Gaya",
    "cod": 200
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

We'll just need the weather, temperatureand feels_likefrom the above response.

9. Get Trending Movies

To get the trending movies, we'll be using The Movie Database(TMDB) API. Signup for a free account and get the API Key. Add the TMDB_API_KEY in the .env file.

TMDB_API_KEY = config("TMDB_API_KEY")

def get_trending_movies():
    trending_movies = []
    res = requests.get(
        f"https://api.themoviedb.org/3/trending/movie/day?api_key={TMDB_API_KEY}").json()
    results = res["results"]
    for r in results:
        trending_movies.append(r["original_title"])
    return trending_movies[:5]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Just as we did for the latest news headlines, we are creating trending_movieslist. Then, as per the TMDB API, we're making a GET request. A sample JSON response looks like this:

}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

From the above response, we just need the title of the movie. We get the resultswhich is a list and then iterate over it to get the movie title and append it to the trending_movieslist. In the end, we return the first five elements of the list.

10. Get Random Jokes

To get a random joke, we just need to make a GET request on this URL: https://icanhazdadjoke.com/

def get_random_joke():
    headers = {
        'Accept': 'application/json'
    }
    res = requests.get("https://icanhazdadjoke.com/", headers=headers).json()
    return res["joke"]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

11. Get Random Advice

To get a piece of random advice, we're using the Advice Slip API. ** **

def get_random_advice():
    res = requests.get("https://api.adviceslip.com/advice").json()
    return res['slip']['advice']
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Updating Main Method

Until now, our main method in the main.py file looked like this:

if __name__ == ' __main__':
    greet_user()
    while True:
        query = take_user_input().lower()
        print(query)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Let's update this main method now. Since we have our query string here, we can add if-else ladder to check for the different conditions. Refer to the code below:


import requests
from functions.online_ops import find_my_ip, get_latest_news, get_random_advice, get_random_joke, get_trending_movies, get_weather_report, play_on_youtube, search_on_google, search_on_wikipedia, send_email, send_whatsapp_message
from functions.os_ops import open_calculator, open_camera, open_cmd, open_notepad, open_discord
from pprint import pprint

if __name__ == ' __main__':
    greet_user()
    while True:
        query = take_user_input().lower()

        if 'open notepad' in query:
            open_notepad()

        elif 'open discord' in query:
            open_discord()

        elif 'open command prompt' in query or 'open cmd' in query:
            open_cmd()

        elif 'open camera' in query:
            open_camera()

        elif 'open calculator' in query:
            open_calculator()

        elif 'ip address' in query:
            ip_address = find_my_ip()
            speak(f'Your IP Address is {ip_address}.\n For your convenience, I am printing it on the screen sir.')
            print(f'Your IP Address is {ip_address}')

        elif 'wikipedia' in query:
            speak('What do you want to search on Wikipedia, sir?')
            search_query = take_user_input().lower()
            results = search_on_wikipedia(search_query)
            speak(f"According to Wikipedia, {results}")
            speak("For your convenience, I am printing it on the screen sir.")
            print(results)

        elif 'youtube' in query:
            speak('What do you want to play on Youtube, sir?')
            video = take_user_input().lower()
            play_on_youtube(video)

        elif 'search on google' in query:
            speak('What do you want to search on Google, sir?')
            query = take_user_input().lower()
            search_on_google(query)

        elif "send whatsapp message" in query:
            speak('On what number should I send the message sir? Please enter in the console: ')
            number = input("Enter the number: ")
            speak("What is the message sir?")
            message = take_user_input().lower()
            send_whatsapp_message(number, message)
            speak("I've sent the message sir.")

        elif "send an email" in query:
            speak("On what email address do I send sir? Please enter in the console: ")
            receiver_address = input("Enter email address: ")
            speak("What should be the subject sir?")
