// Configuration
const API_KEY = 'your-api-key-here';
const BASE_URL = 'https://api.gurubase.com/api/v1';
const GURU_SLUG = 'your-guru-slug';

// Simple stream example
async function askGurubase(question) {
  console.log("Asking question:", question);
  const response = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/${GURU_SLUG}/answer/`, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {

  // Read stream chunks

    const chunk = decoder.decode(value);

  }

  console.log("\n");

// Fetch existing answer with metadata
async function fetchExisting(question) {

      fetch_existing: true
    })
  });

  const data = await response.json();
  console.log('Answer JSON:');
  console.log(data);
  return data;
}

// Usage
const question = "Does Gurubase support Slack?";

// 1. Ask with stream
await askGurubase(question);

// 2. Then fetch the answer from the db (for the JSON fields)
await fetchExisting(question);
