Lets say i have a website. Is there a way where i can connect my aiml code with an html input tag so i can make a website that has a fully functional chatbot?

I am very new to this so i have no idea to what to do. I searched in chatbots.io but it didnt give me enough information and it only gave me a 10 days trial which i want to use it wisely.

Can someone explain to me how do you put a chatbot on a website?

You can use the values from the html form ($_POST) to pass to a program (bot). 

Check out something like Program O, which uses a combination of html, php and mysql to make a chatbot.

Your hosting service will need let you run php and mysql of course.

is it possible to have program o on a macbook ?

Hi George,

Here is a gist that shows how to talk to the Pandorabots API from your browser:

https://gist.github.com/djfdev/5676a407baa7be590731

You’ll need to both files on your server. You’ll also need to enter your API credentials (app_id, user_key, botname) in lines 35-40 of pandorabot.html.

A word of warning: I would not suggest talking to the Pandorabots API in this manner. Connecting via a browser will expose your bot and API keys publicly. You’re much better off making requests from your server, to which users may connect via some other type of authentication.

Hello Daniel, do i need to make an account on chatbots.io for this to work?

Yes, absolutely. You cannot talk to the API unless you have a valid app_id and user_key (API credentials).

And the only way to do this is to try the 10 day trial or pay money right ?

Correct, you need to sign up for a plan to be given the credentials.
