Therefore, mastering how to call Baidu Wenxin Yiyan API in PHP projects is very practical.
To use Baidu Wenxin Yiyan API, first register a Baidu developer account and create an application. Log into the Baidu AI Cloud Console, click “Create New Application,” fill in the app name, description, and identifier, select services such as “Text Recognition,” and complete the creation process.
After the application is created, you can find it in the application list and note the “App ID” and “API Key,” which are essential for development.
Next, apply for the Wenxin Yiyan service in the Baidu AI Cloud API Marketplace. Search for “Wenxin Yiyan,” click “Apply for Trial,” fill in application details such as app name, description, request body and parameters, then submit. Once approved, you will get the API Key and Secret Key needed for calling the API.
Create a PHP file locally or on your server, for example bingyan.php, and include necessary SDK files like:
<span class="fun">require_once 'AipOcr.php';</span>
Define your application variables:
$APP_ID = 'your App ID';
$API_KEY = 'your API Key';
$SECRET_KEY = 'your Secret Key';Replace these with your own app information and keep your keys secure.
Use PHP’s cURL extension to send an HTTP request to the Wenxin Yiyan API endpoint. Sample code:
<?php
// Baidu Wenxin Yiyan API endpoint
$url = 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/lmk123/cdn-assets/yan.json';
<p>// Generate signature<br>
$timestamp = time();<br>
$nonce = md5(rand(100, 999));<br>
$signature = md5($API_KEY . $timestamp . $nonce . $SECRET_KEY);</p>
<p>// Initialize cURL<br>
$ch = curl_init();<br>
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);<br>
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);<br>
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);<br>
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(<br>
'x-appid: ' . $APP_ID,<br>
'x-timestamp: ' . $timestamp,<br>
'x-nonce: ' . $nonce,<br>
'x-signature: ' . $signature,<br>
));</p>
<p>$response = curl_exec($ch);<br>
curl_close($ch);</p>
<p>// Decode JSON data<br>
$data = json_decode($response, true);</p>
<p>// Output random sentence<br>
echo $data['data'][array_rand($data['data'])]['inspire'];<br>
?><br>
The request headers include App ID, timestamp, nonce, and signature for security. Signature is calculated as follows:
<?php
$timestamp = time();
$nonce = md5(rand(100, 999));
$signature = md5($API_KEY . $timestamp . $nonce . $SECRET_KEY);
?>
After sending the request with curl_exec, parse the JSON response with json_decode, then randomly display one inspiring sentence.
Using the Baidu Wenxin Yiyan API to get random sentences in PHP is straightforward. Just register a Baidu developer account, create an app, apply for the Wenxin Yiyan API, and write the PHP code to call it.
