Use with the SDK

Install @pipeworx/sdk to call tools from any TypeScript/Node project.

TypeScript
import { Pipeworx } from '@pipeworx/sdk';
const px = new Pipeworx();
const result = await px.call("pv_performance", {"latitude":"example","longitude":"example"});
ask_pipeworx
// Or ask in plain English:
const answer = await px.ask("eu jrc photovoltaic geographical information system — models pv system output, monthly irradiation, typical meteorological year");
