Tutorials > AI API Calls

Go to the react-native-starter-backend/functions/src/index.ts file. Any function declaration with onRequest is a new AI endpoint. ✨ 🤖 We've built custom retry logic to handle AI API outages for you. 👊

Inside your newly created API function declaration, you can implement an example AI API call like below enjoying the perks of our retry logic doing its magic. ✨ We already have many pre-built AI endpoints; you can also edit them or start using them as is.

/react-native-starter-backend/functions/src/index.ts

      try {
        // Custom retry for outages in AI APIs
        axiosRetry(axios, {
          retryDelay: (retryCount) => {
            return retryCount * 1;
          },
          retries: 15,
        });

        const res = await axios.post(url, body, options);

        const answer = res.data.choices[0].message.content;
        const usage = res?.data?.usage;

        console.log(">>> " + answer);
        console.log(
          "TOKENS USED: " +
            usage?.total_tokens +
            " (prompt: " +
            usage?.prompt_tokens +
            " / response: " +
            usage?.completion_tokens +
            ")"
        );
        console.log("
");

        return answer;
      } catch (e) {
        console.error("GPT Error: " + e?.response?.status, e?.response?.data);
        return null;
      }
