    Didn’t ChatGPT become very bad recently? It used to give really working code but now it gets things wrong and doesn’t follow context. It gives code but when you ask it to improve by give more context, it ignores the previous answer and give wrong code.

    It even sometimes answers by saying it does not have the answer for questions that it answered few months ago.

        How is that a niche api question? That’s a public api that is scraped up.

        It’s also a terrible way to ask the question. It’s how a clueless newb asks questions. Anyone hoping to help needs to at least know: What are you attempting to use the end point for and What results are you receiving vs expecting?

        That looks like advice on how NOT to ask for technical support on a public forum.

        1. Be generic and vague. Omit as many details as possible, this will only distract from the problem at hand.
        2. remember to include your private API key to share it with the world.
