Make your FastAPI server support chat - in 3 steps:

Go to Chat Engine to setup your own chat server.

• Click "New Project" and follow the steps
• Your Project ID and Private Key will be required for step 2

Replace the following variables with your own Project ID and Private Key.

(Perferrably as environment variables.)

CHAT_ENGINE_PROJECT_ID=5d498a31-cd23-42b7-b367-4fcc9463bd2f
CHAT_ENGINE_PRIVATE_KEY=49a46286-91c3-4f9c-92bf-284ae51b7628

Run the following two lines of code in server-express/.

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
uvicorn main:app --reload --port 3001

Done! Your Express server is on localhost:3001 and connected to Chat Engine!
