The
Wolfram|Alpha Webservice API
provides a web-based API allowing the computational and presentation capabilities of Wolfram|Alpha to be integrated into web, mobile, desktop, and enterprise applications.
Wolfram Alpha
is an API which can compute expert-level answers using Wolfram’s algorithms, knowledgebase and AI technology. It is made possible by the Wolfram Language. This article tells how to create a simple assistant application in Python which can answer simple questions like the ones listed below.
Input : What is the capital of India? Output : New DelhiInput : What is sin(30)?Output : 0.5
Prerequisite: Basic understanding of
pythonsyntax and functions.
Getting API Id- Create a account at Wolfram alpha. The account can be created atthe official website.
- After signing up, sign in using your Wolfram ID.

- Now you will see the homepage of the website. Head to the section in the top right corner where you see your email. In the drop down menu, select the My Apps (API) option.

- Click the Get an AppID button to get the id.

- In the next dialog box, give the app a suitable name and description.
- Note down the APPID that appears in the next dialog box. This app id will be specific to the application.
ImplementationMake sure that
wolframalpha
python package is installed beforehand. It can be done by running the following command in the terminal or cmd -
pip install wolframalpha
Below is the implementation
