can you create a rest api in prolog in python

To create a REST API in Prolog using Python, you can use Flask as your web framework and PySwip to interface with SWI-Prolog. Follow the steps below to create a simple REST API:

1. Install Flask and PySwip libraries:

main.py
pip install flask
pip install pyswip
37 chars
3 lines

2. Create a Flask app object and import PySwip:

main.py
from flask import Flask, jsonify, request
from pyswip import Prolog
68 chars
3 lines

3. Create a Prolog instance and load your Prolog file:

main.py
prolog = Prolog()
prolog.consult("your_prolog_file.pl")
56 chars
3 lines

4. Define your API endpoints with Flask decorators and implement your Prolog queries using PySwip:

main.py
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/api/query", methods=["POST"])
def query():
    data = request.json
    result = []
    for soln in prolog.query(f"{data['query']}({','.join(data['args'])})"):
        result.append(soln)
    return jsonify(result)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)
302 chars
13 lines

5. Send a POST request to the /api/query endpoint with a JSON body containing your Prolog query and arguments in the following format:

{
    "query": "predicate_name",
    "args": ["arg1", "arg2", "arg3"]
}
72 chars
5 lines

This will return a JSON response containing the solutions to your query.

Note: Make sure your Prolog file follows the correct syntax and contains the predicates that you want to query.
