Ionic shopping tool

[stewartjarod]

Description

Ionic is a shopping assistant tool for llms. I've added the tool, which depends on our Ionic API SDK library.

While there, I updated the typing packages.

Note: I had issues with running tests locally, even on main, so I'm not entirely sure if this is good to merge without a CI/CD step for tests.

out of curiosity @stewartjarod what were the issues you ran into in running tests?

[jerryjliu]

this is a cool idea!

to make sure, the main capability the API offers is query right? not actually being able to make a purchase decision yet?

[jerryjliu]

why this change

[stewartjarod]

I have the understanding with these Python types that it is good to keep them up to date and that they are entirely backward compatible. I could be wrong! I come from mostly a TS background and try to use types for everything.

[stewartjarod]

I can roll this back if it will cause issues

[stewartjarod]

I wasn't able to get the async tests to pass.

Right, at this time we provide a query for products and recommendations. Looking to expand from there. 😀

[stewartjarod]

Ah, that's a weird failure. While I'm figuring this out, @jerryjliu do you want me to revert the package update for typings?

[stewartjarod]

Tests should pass now 👍

[stewartjarod]

Ah, that's a new one. Type responses like that must not be supported in 3.8. Sorry for the issues here with tests. Adding future annotations seemed to do the trick here.

Let me know if there is anything else I can do here! Thank you for your support.
