How to forward user question to openai assistant api to my restapi endpoint

API
1

I want to forward user question to openai assistant api to my restapi endpoint. As far as I understand, I need to use so called Functions of openai assistant. But where should I specify my restapi endpoint URL?

This is an approach I have done to fetch data from an API using assistants.

I hope it helps

I guess my brain will soon blow up because of this confusing docs and articles. They all tell the same except for simple fact: where the f.ck should I put the exact function definitions to make my assistant aware about it?

Refer to the docs:

run = client.beta.threads.runs.create_and_poll(
  thread_id=thread.id,
  assistant_id=assistant.id,
)
 
if run.status == 'completed':
  messages = client.beta.threads.messages.list(
    thread_id=thread.id
  )
  print(messages)
else:
  print(run.status)
 
# Define the list to store tool outputs
tool_outputs = []
 
# Loop through each tool in the required action section
for tool in run.required_action.submit_tool_outputs.tool_calls:
  if tool.function.name == "get_current_temperature":
     
       # Call your API/restapi endpoint here using the "tool.function.arguments" and put result to tool_outputs
     
    tool_outputs.append({
      "tool_call_id": tool.id,
      "output": "57" 
    })
  elif tool.function.name == "get_rain_probability":

      # Call your API/restapi endpoint here using the "tool.function.arguments" and put result to tool_outputs

    tool_outputs.append({
      "tool_call_id": tool.id,
      "output": "0.06"
    })

Then submit the tool outputs

# Submit all tool outputs at once after collecting them in a list
if tool_outputs:
  try:
    run = client.beta.threads.runs.submit_tool_outputs_and_poll(
      thread_id=thread.id,
      run_id=run.id,
      tool_outputs=tool_outputs
    )
    print("Tool outputs submitted successfully.")
  except Exception as e:
    print("Failed to submit tool outputs:", e)
else:
  print("No tool outputs to submit.")

Thanks to you finally i have got it. So openai requires our code to help if right during its run. That was not obvious for me.
