Usage Examples

# Example: Cursor API Integration
import requests

API_KEY = "your_api_key"
ENDPOINT = "https://api.cursor.sh/v1/chat"

headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

data = {
    "messages": [
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are Cursor, a helpful coding assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Can you explain how this React component works?"}
    ],
    "temperature": 0.3,
    "max_tokens": 1000,
    "code_context": {
        "file_path": "src/components/Button.jsx",
        "code_snippet": "const Button = ({ onClick, children }) => {\n  return (\n    <button onClick={onClick} className=\"btn\">\n      {children}\n    </button>\n  );\n};"
    }
}

response = requests.post(ENDPOINT, headers=headers, json=data)
result = response.json()
print(result["choices"][0]["message"]["content"])

Best Practices

1. Use appropriate system prompts for different tasks
2. Implement proper error handling
3. Manage context effectively
4. Optimize token usage
5. Cache responses when appropriate
6. Provide relevant code context
7. Maintain editor integration
