API Integration Example

// Example API integration for automotive diagnostic system
const diagnosticAPI = {
  endpoint: 'https://api.trumpets.ai/chat/api/message',
  apiKey: 'ak_trumpets_diagnostic_expert_x7k9m2n4',
  
  async diagnoseIssue(symptoms, vehicleInfo) {
    const prompt = `Vehicle: ${vehicleInfo.year} ${vehicleInfo.make} ${vehicleInfo.model}
Mileage: ${vehicleInfo.mileage}
Symptoms: ${symptoms}

Please provide a diagnostic analysis including:
1. Most likely causes
2. Diagnostic steps to confirm
3. Estimated repair costs
4. Urgency level`;

    const response = await fetch(this.endpoint, {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'x-api-key': this.apiKey,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({ message: prompt })
    });

    return await response.json();
  }
};

Real-World Integration Examples

Auto Shop Integration

Integrate with shop management systems for instant diagnostics

// Shop management system integration
const shopIntegration = {
  async processWorkOrder(workOrderId) {
    const workOrder = await getWorkOrder(workOrderId);
    const diagnosis = await diagnosticAPI.diagnoseIssue(
      workOrder.customerComplaints,
      workOrder.vehicleInfo
    );
    
    await updateWorkOrder(workOrderId, {
      preliminaryDiagnosis: diagnosis.response,
      estimatedCost: diagnosis.costEstimate,
      recommendedTests: diagnosis.diagnosticSteps
    });
  }
};

Mobile App Integration

Create a customer-facing diagnostic app

// Mobile app diagnostic feature
const mobileApp = {
  async getUserDiagnosis(symptoms, vehicleData) {
    const diagnosis = await diagnosticAPI.diagnoseIssue(symptoms, vehicleData);
    
    return {
      summary: diagnosis.response,
      urgency: diagnosis.urgencyLevel,
      estimatedCost: diagnosis.costRange,
      recommendedShops: await findNearbyShops(vehicleData.location),
      nextSteps: diagnosis.recommendedActions
    };
  }
};
