When creating a report using OpenAI GPT-4 API for a 3-day weekend (e.g., Friday, Saturday, and Sunday), you can structure your parameters efficiently for clarity and ease of processing. Here are some best practices for passing parameters:

1. Use a Structured Input Format

Pass parameters as a structured object (e.g., JSON). This ensures clarity and flexibility.

Example:

json { "weekend_dates": ["2024-11-22", "2024-11-23", "2024-11-24"], "context": "Generate a report summarizing events and trends over this 3-day weekend." }

2. Specify the Date Range

If you prefer to pass the start date and duration, GPT-4 can calculate the full weekend range.

Example:

json { "start_date": "2024-11-22", "duration_days": 3, "context": "Generate a weekend summary report." }

3. Include Explicit Date Labels

Label each day for precise generation of day-wise content in the report.

Example:

json { "weekend_dates": { "friday": "2024-11-22", "saturday": "2024-11-23", "sunday": "2024-11-24" }, "context": "Create a detailed report, highlighting events for each day of the weekend." }

4. Group Metadata

Include metadata to guide GPT-4 about the type of report and data you’re expecting.

Example:

json { "weekend_dates": ["2024-11-22", "2024-11-23", "2024-11-24"], "report_type": "summary", "content_focus": "events, trends, highlights" }

5. Dynamically Generate Dates in Code

Generate the 3-day weekend dates dynamically and pass them to the API.

Example in Python:

```python from datetime import datetime, timedelta

Calculate the 3-day weekend dates

start_date = datetime.strptime("2024-11-22", "%Y-%m-%d") weekend_dates = [(start_date + timedelta(days=i)).strftime("%Y-%m-%d") for i in range(3)]

Construct the payload

payload = { "weekend_dates": weekend_dates, "context": "Generate a detailed report for the 3-day weekend." }

print(payload) ```

6. Use Context to Drive Flexibility

Pass parameters for GPT-4 to determine specific needs (e.g., focus on events, trends, or statistics).

Example:

json { "dates": ["2024-11-22", "2024-11-23", "2024-11-24"], "focus": "events", "granularity": "daily highlights", "context": "Generate an engaging summary report for the weekend." }

7. Combine with Filters

If applicable, pass additional filters for data aggregation (e.g., region, topic, or event type).

Example:

json { "weekend_dates": ["2024-11-22", "2024-11-23", "2024-11-24"], "region": "United States", "topics": ["sports", "entertainment", "news"], "context": "Generate a topic-wise weekend summary report." }

8. Include Instructions in the Prompt

Complement your parameters with explicit instructions to ensure the generated report aligns with your expectations.

Example:

json { "weekend_dates": ["2024-11-22", "2024-11-23", "2024-11-24"], "context": "Generate a report summarizing key highlights for each day. Ensure the content includes weather, major news, and popular events." }

By structuring your parameters in a clear, descriptive, and programmatically dynamic way, you ensure that the OpenAI GPT-4 API produces accurate and relevant content for your 3-day weekend report.
