How to use program AB

Question

I have downloaded program-ab-0.0.4.3, so that I can make use of AIML 2.0 features.

I want to make a API call based on users input. Any guidance on how do i do it ?

I read about oob tags and sraix, there are some oob tag examples in aiml folder in program-ab-0.0.4.3, but when i run it to understand how it works, it just outputs the tag as a result

    Ex: Human: what is the weather like?
    Sraix ‘WHAT+IS+THE+WEATHER+LIKE’ failed
    Robot: I used my lifeline to ask another robot, but he didn’t know.
    Perhaps we should try a web search.
    <oob><search>what is the weather like</search></oob>

Please help me to know how do i call any API based on user input and give customized output to user based on API response

Thanks

Your api call should look something like this. Change service to XML if you are using an XML to pass data.
