How did you handle the integration of the OpenAI API to generate movie content?

● I integrated the OpenAI API into the backend using Node.js, where I set up endpoints to
handle user requests. After gathering user inputs, I made asynchronous API calls to
OpenAI, processing the returned responses to generate personalized movie content.
The content was then sent back to the frontend, where it was displayed dynamically.

What are the endpoints you used, explain endpoints

endpoints refer to specific URLs or routes on your backend server that handle requests from the
frontend. These endpoints define where the frontend sends user inputs, and each endpoint
corresponds to a particular function or resource on the backend.

For example:

● You may have set up a POST /api/movies endpoint that takes user input, such as
preferences for a movie, sends it to the backend, and triggers the OpenAI API call to
generate personalized content.
● The backend then processes the API's response and returns it to the frontend.

What do you mean by async and async API calls?

In JavaScript, async is a keyword used to define asynchronous functions. Asynchronous

functions allow the code to perform non-blocking operations, meaning that the program can
continue executing other code while waiting for a promise to resolve.

What is a promise here?

A Promise in JavaScript is like a "promise" you make to do something in the future. It’s a way to
handle things that take time, like getting data from a server.

Async OpenAI API call

Asynchronous API calls refer to the process of making requests to an API in such a way that
the program can continue executing other tasks while waiting for the API's response. This is
useful for non-blocking operations, ensuring that your application doesn’t halt while waiting for
external data (like a response from OpenAI’s API)

Can you describe how you measured the 90% user satisfaction rate?(VVVIMP Ques)

● I collected feedback through user surveys and real-time interactions, analyzing

responses based on key metrics such as content relevance, engagement level, and
overall satisfaction.
What is await and its relation with async?

async and await are two related keywords in JavaScript that work together to simplify working
with asynchronous code, but they serve different purposes. Here’s a breakdown of their
differences:

1. Definition:

● async:
○ It is used to define an asynchronous function. An async function always returns
a Promise. If the function returns a value, the Promise will be resolved with that
value. If the function throws an error, the Promise will be rejected.
● await:
○ It is used inside an async function to pause the execution of the function until the
Promise is resolved or rejected. It makes your code look synchronous and helps
in handling asynchronous operations more easily.

Can you explain how you implemented asynchronous data fetching in your project?

● I used JavaScript's async/await syntax in Node.js to fetch data asynchronously from

the OpenAI API. This allowed me to make API calls without blocking the main thread,
ensuring a smooth user experience. On the frontend, I used similar asynchronous logic
in React.js to handle real-time data fetching and UI updates.

What do you mean by main thread here?

In the context of JavaScript and Node.js, the main thread refers to the single thread of
execution that handles the main operations of a JavaScript program

How does asyn/await helps in the scenario then?

Blocking vs. Non-blocking:

● Blocking Operations: If a synchronous operation (like a long-running computation or a

synchronous API call) runs on the main thread, it can block the execution of subsequent
code. This can lead to a frozen or unresponsive user interface (UI) in a web
application.
● Non-blocking Operations: Asynchronous operations, like those using async/await,
allow other code to execute while waiting for the response. This prevents the main
thread from being blocked, keeping the application responsive
Why did you choose JavaScript and Node.js for handling data fetching?

● JavaScript, particularly with Node.js, is well-suited for handling asynchronous operations,

making it ideal for API integration.

How did you use try...catch blocks to manage errors?

● I wrapped API calls within try...catch blocks to handle potential failures gracefully. In
case of errors such as network issues or invalid responses, the catch block would
handle the error, log it for debugging, and send a fallback response to maintain a
seamless user experience.

What does handling failures gracefully mean?

Handling potential failures gracefully refers to the practice of anticipating and managing errors
or issues that may occur during the execution of a program in a way that minimizes negative
impacts on user experience and system functionality

Mainly it consists of:

1) Anticipating Errors: meaning API calling is prone to error, hence learn to accept the
errors
2) Using try catch block: efficient handling in cases of errors
3) Logging Errors: In the catch block we can add statement which can help developer
understand what is causing the error
4) Maintaining Functionality: Graceful error handling aims to keep the application
functional even when errors occur. For example, if an API call fails, you might provide
default data, cached responses, or alternative options to the user

Can you explain how asynchronous data fetching affected the overall performance of
your application?(IMP QUES)

● Asynchronous data fetching allowed the application to handle multiple tasks concurrently
without blocking the main thread. This improved overall performance, especially in
scenarios where multiple API calls were necessary. The user could continue interacting
with the UI while data was being fetched in the background.

Explain HTTP and its methods?

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is an application-layer protocol used for transmitting
hypertext (such as web pages) over the internet. It facilitates communication between clients
(like web browsers) and servers
Key Features of HTTP:

1. Stateless Protocol: HTTP is stateless, meaning the server does not retain information
about previous requests
2. Request-Response Model: Communication between clients and servers follows a
request-response pattern. The client sends an HTTP request, and the server responds
with an HTTP response containing the requested data or an error message.
3. Resources Identification: Resources (like web pages, images, APIs) are identified
using Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs), usually in the form of URLs.

Common HTTP Methods:

HTTP defines several methods (also known as HTTP verbs) that specify the desired action to
be performed on a resource. Here are the most common HTTP methods:

1. GET:
○ Purpose: Retrieve data from a server.
○ Usage: Used to request a resource without modifying it. For example, fetching a
webpage or an image.
○ Idempotent: Multiple identical requests should produce the same result.
2. POST:
○ Purpose: Submit data to the server to create a new resource.
○ Usage: Used for sending data, such as form submissions or uploading files.
○ Non-idempotent: Multiple identical requests may create multiple resources.
3. PUT:
○ Purpose: Update an existing resource or create a new resource if it does not
exist.
○ Usage: Typically used to send updated data to the server.
○ Idempotent: Multiple identical requests should produce the same result.
4. DELETE:
○ Purpose: Remove a resource from the server.
○ Usage: Used to delete a specified resource.
○ Idempotent: Multiple identical requests should have the same effect (the
resource will still be deleted).
