YaTTI Custom Knowledgebase System

YaTTI builds and maintains knowledgebases in various focussed fields.

Available knowledgebases at the moment are:

appliedanthropology garydean jakartapost motivation.se okusiassociates prosocial.world seculardharma The YaTTI API endpoint is https://yatti.id/v1

Requirements:

Requires Ubuntu 24.04, git, curl, urlencode and jq.

sudo apt install gridsite-clients curl jq git

Installation One-liner:

cd /tmp && git clone https://github.com/Open-Technology-Foundation/kb-query.git && sudo kb-query/kb-query.install

Query API

To query a knowledgebase, syntax is in this general form:

curl -s "https://yatti.id/v1/{knowledgebase}?q={query}&{context_only}"

There are two parameters; q and context_only.

The q parameter is the text of your query. In curl, you must ensure the text is url encoded.

If context_only is set, then only the context is returned by the API; no LLM query is performed.

context_only is optional. If not set, then the API returns the contents of a query that has used context from the knowledgebase.

kb=appliedanthropology
query="What is a dharma?"
fields=.response
context_only=''

curl -H "Accept: application/json" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -s "https://yatti.id/v1/$kb/?q=\$(urlencode "$query")&$context_only" \
     | jq -r $fields

Test Script kb-query.test

`kb-query.test` is a full test script with explanations:

#!/bin/bash
## !/usr/env /usr/local/bin/scripttour
# These are the essentials for accessing
# YaTTI CustomKB knowledgebases using simple
# curl directives to https://yatti.id/v1/

# This is the knowledgebase to access:
kb=appliedanthropology

# This is the user/system query:
query="What is a 'dharma'?"

# If context_only is set to 'context_only' then
# only the text segments from the knowledgebase
# are returned.
#context_only='context_only'
context_only=''

# To break up the json output into separate fields
# you need to specify the fields you wish to see.
# '.response' is usually the best default.
#
# The other fieldnames are: kb, query, context_only,
# elapsed_seconds, error, and '.'.
#
# Use '.' to return all fields.
#
# If no fields are specified, then kb-query prints
# out the value of .response.
#
fields=( .query .response )

# Call the YaTTI Knowledgebase API using 'kb-query'
kb-query "$kb" "$query" "${fields[@]}"

# Or you can use 'curl' directly
#curl -H "Accept: application/json" \
#     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
#     -s "https://yatti.id/v1/$kb/?q=$(urlencode "$query")&$context_only" \
#     | jq -r $fields
#fin

API Commands

Available API commands are 'list' and 'help'.

curl -s "https://yatti.id/v1/help"
curl -s "https://yatti.id/v1/list"

'list' will list all available YaTTI knowledgebases.

kb-query - YaTTI CustomKB API interface script

The kb-query script is a simplified command-line interface into the customKB knowledgebase API. It is essentially a wrapper for a curl command.
