When working with JSON data, you may encounter issues such as trailing commas, mismatched braces, or incorrect data types that make the JSON invalid. {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat %} can help you debug and fix these errors by suggesting corrections to fix invalid JSON. | ||
|
||
## Example scenario | ||
|
||
Consider a scenario where an application consumes JSON data from an API, but the response fails to parse due to invalid formatting. You receive the error message: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
Error: Parse error | ||
----------------------^ | ||
Expecting 'STRING', 'NUMBER', 'NULL', 'TRUE', 'FALSE', '{', '[', got 'undefined' | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Below is the JSON data that caused the error: | ||
|
||
```json | ||
{ | ||
"location": "San Francisco", | ||
"current_weather": { | ||
"temperature": 18, | ||
"unit": "Celsius", | ||
"conditions": "Cloudy | ||
}, | ||
"forecast": { | ||
"day": "Monday", | ||
"high": 22, | ||
"low": 15, | ||
"precipitation": 10 | ||
} | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Example prompt | ||
|
||
```Why is my JSON object invalid and how can I fix it?``` | ||
|
||
## Example response | ||
|
||
{% data reusables.copilot.example-prompts.response-is-an-example %} | ||
|
||
{% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} might suggest that your JSON is invalid because it is missing a closing quote for the `conditions` value. Here is the corrected JSON: | ||
|
||
```json | ||
{ | ||
"location": "San Francisco", | ||
"current_weather": { | ||
"temperature": 18, | ||
"unit": "Celsius", | ||
"conditions": "Cloudy" | ||
}, | ||
"forecast": { | ||
"day": "Monday", | ||
"high": 22, | ||
"low": 15, | ||
"precipitation": 10 | ||
} | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
In this example response, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}'s suggestions include fixing the closing quote for the `conditions` value, which resolves the JSON parsing error. | ||

title: Handling API rate limits | ||
shortTitle: Handle API rate limits | ||
intro: '{% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_short %} can help handle API rate limits by suggesting code that detects implements retry logic.' | ||
versions: | ||
feature: copilot | ||
category: | ||

|
||
When making requests to APIs, it's common to encounter rate limits that restrict the number of calls you can make within a certain time frame. {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat %} can help you handle these limits by suggesting code to detect rate limit responses and automatically retry requests after a delay. | ||
|
||
## Example scenario | ||
|
||
The following Python code fetches weather data from an external API. If the API has rate limits, requests may fail when limits are exceeded, and your app may need a way to handle these responses gracefully by implementing retry logic. | ||
|
||
```python | ||
from flask import Flask, request | ||
import requests | ||
|
||
app = Flask(__name__) | ||
|
||
WEATHER_API_URL = "https://api.example.com/weather" | ||
|
||
@app.route('/get_weather', methods=['GET']) | ||
def get_weather(): | ||
city = request.args.get('city') | ||
# Simulate an API request to the external weather service | ||
response = requests.get(WEATHER_API_URL, params={"city": city}) | ||
weather_data = response.json() | ||
|
||
return weather_data | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Example prompt | ||
|
||
`How can I handle API rate limits within get_weather().` | ||
|
||
## Example response | ||
|
||
{% data reusables.copilot.example-prompts.response-is-an-example %} | ||
|
||
{% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} might suggest code that implements a retry mechanism with exponential backoff to limit the frequency of retry attempts. | ||
|
||
For example: | ||
|
||
```python | ||
import requests | ||
from flask import Flask, request | ||
from requests.adapters import HTTPAdapter | ||
from requests.packages.urllib3.util.retry import Retry | ||
|
||
app = Flask(__name__) | ||
|
||
WEATHER_API_URL = "https://api.example.com/weather" | ||
|
||
def requests_retry_session( | ||
retries=3, | ||
backoff_factor=0.3, | ||
status_forcelist=(500, 502, 504), | ||
session=None, | ||
): | ||
session = session or requests.Session() | ||
retry = Retry( | ||
total=retries, | ||
read=retries, | ||
connect=retries, | ||
backoff_factor=backoff_factor, | ||
status_forcelist=status_forcelist, | ||
) | ||
adapter = HTTPAdapter(max_retries=retry) | ||
session.mount("http://", adapter) | ||
session.mount("https://", adapter) | ||
return session | ||
|
||
@app.route('/get_weather', methods=['GET']) | ||
def get_weather(): | ||
city = request.args.get('city') | ||
try: | ||
response = requests_retry_session().get(WEATHER_API_URL, params={"city": city}) | ||
response.raise_for_status() | ||
weather_data = response.json() | ||
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e: | ||
return {"error": str(e)}, 500 | ||
|
||
return weather_data | ||
``` | ||
|
||
In this example, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}'s suggestions include setting up a retry session that allows the code to automatically retry requests if they fail due to specific status codes (500, 502, 504). The `backoff_factor` gradually increases the delay between retries, helping avoid exceeding the API's rate limit further. | ||

title: 'Documenting legacy code' | ||
shortTitle: Document legacy code | ||
intro: '{% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_short %} can help with documenting legacy code.' | ||
versions: | ||
feature: copilot | ||

--- | ||
Working with legacy code can be challenging for developers, especially when the code is complex or not well-documented. In such cases, it can be helpful to use Copilot Chat to explain unclear or complex code to other developers or to document it for future reference. | ||
|
||
## Example scenario | ||
|
||
The block of COBOL below connects to a database and inserts a record. The code lacks documentation, which makes it difficult to understand what it does and how it works. | ||
|
||
```text | ||
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION. | ||
PROGRAM-ID. INSERT-RECORD. | ||
ENVIRONMENT DIVISION. | ||
DATA DIVISION. | ||
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION. | ||
01 WS-STATUS-FLAGS. | ||
05 WS-DB-STATUS PIC X(2). | ||
88 WS-SUCCESS VALUE "00". | ||
05 WS-SQLCODE PIC S9(9) COMP. | ||
05 WS-ERROR-MSG PIC X(50). | ||
LINKAGE SECTION. | ||
01 LS-PARAMETERS. | ||
05 LS-PERSON-RECORD. | ||
10 PERSON-ID PIC 9(6). | ||
10 PERSON-NAME PIC X(50). | ||
10 PERSON-AGE PIC 9(3). | ||
05 LS-RESULT PIC X. | ||
88 SUCCESS VALUE 'T'. | ||
88 FAILED VALUE 'F'. | ||
PROCEDURE DIVISION USING LS-PARAMETERS. | ||
PERFORM INSERT-AND-VALIDATE | ||
GOBACK | ||
. | ||
INSERT-AND-VALIDATE. | ||
EXEC SQL | ||
INSERT INTO persons (id, name, age) | ||
VALUES (:PERSON-ID, :PERSON-NAME, :PERSON-AGE) | ||
END-EXEC | ||
IF SQLCODE = 0 | ||
EXEC SQL COMMIT END-EXEC | ||
SET SUCCESS TO TRUE | ||
ELSE | ||
EXEC SQL ROLLBACK END-EXEC | ||
SET FAILED TO TRUE | ||
STRING "DB Error: " SQLCODE | ||
DELIMITED BY SIZE | ||
INTO WS-ERROR-MSG | ||
DISPLAY WS-ERROR-MSG | ||
END-IF | ||
. | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Example prompt | ||
|
||
We can use a simple prompt to ask {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_short %} to document the code. | ||
|
||
`Document this code` | ||
|
||
> [!NOTE] If you want the documentation generated in another format like Markdown, you can specify the desired output format in the prompt. For example: `Document this code in Markdown`. | ||
## Example response | ||
|
||
{% data reusables.copilot.example-prompts.response-is-an-example %} | ||
|
||
Copilot will provide a text overview of the code block, and an updated version with comments explaining the logic and purpose of each section. | ||
|
||
For example: | ||
|
||
```text | ||
***************************************************************** | ||
* Program: INSERT-RECORD | ||
* Purpose: Inserts a person record into the database with | ||
* transaction management and error handling | ||
***************************************************************** | ||
