### **1. OpenAI Plugins / API with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)**
If you want ChatGPT to fetch data dynamically from your page:
– Use **retrieval-based AI** with OpenAI's API.
– Store your data in a **vector database** like Pinecone, Weaviate, or Elasticsearch.
– Use **embedding models** to process your data and enable AI to fetch relevant results dynamically.
### **2. Structured JSON Schema for Knowledge Integration**
If you want ChatGPT to understand your data better when queried, define a JSON schema that represents your page's content:
#### **Example JSON Schema for a Product Page**
{
"$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",
"title": "Product",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"id": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Unique identifier for the product"
},
"name": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Product name"
},
"description": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Detailed product description"
},
"price": {
"type": "number",
"description": "Price of the product in USD"
},
"availability": {
"type": "boolean",
"description": "Availability of the product"
},
"category": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Category of the product"
},
"url": {
"type": "string",
"format": "uri",
"description": "Product page URL"
}
},
"required": ["id", "name", "price", "availability", "url"]
}

### **3. Embed JSON-LD (Structured Data) on Your Web Page**
If your goal is to help search engines (including AI models that crawl the web) understand your content better, you should use **JSON-LD** (Linked Data) in your page metadata.
#### **Example JSON-LD for a Product**
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "Product",
"name": "Smartphone X",
"description": "Latest Smartphone X with 128GB storage and AI camera",
"sku": "12345",
"brand": {
"@type": "Brand",
"name": "TechCorp"
},
"offers": {
"@type": "Offer",
"price": "799.99",
"priceCurrency": "USD",
"availability": "https://schema.org/InStock",
"url": "https://example.com/product/smartphone-x"
}
}
</script>
🔹 **Why use JSON-LD?**
– Google and AI bots read it to understand your page better.
– Helps with **SEO & knowledge graph integration**.
—
### **4. Connect ChatGPT to Your Data via API**
If you want ChatGPT to **query live data from your website**, you can create an API that provides JSON responses.
#### **Example API Endpoint for Product Data**
Your server can expose an API like:
GET https://example.com/api/products/123
Response:
{
"id": "123",
"name": "Smartphone X",
"price": 799.99,
"availability": "InStock",
"url": "https://example.com/product/smartphone-x"
}
Then, you can:
– **Use OpenAI Functions** to make ChatGPT call this API dynamically.
– Integrate a **custom ChatGPT plugin** that pulls data from your API.
—
### **Which Approach Should You Use?**
– If you want **ChatGPT to understand your static data**, use **JSON-LD or a JSON schema**.
– If you need **real-time queries**, create an API and integrate it with OpenAI's Function Calling.

}
}
### **Fixes & Improvements:**
1. **SearchAction Fix**:
– `"query-input"` now follows best practices by using `{search_term_string}` as a placeholder.
– The previous `"query-input"` format was incorrect.
2. **`hasPart` Structure**:
– Used `"@type": "WebPageElement"` instead of `"Chatbot"` (Schema.org doesn’t have `Chatbot` type).
– Added `"isPartOf"` to clarify its relation to `WebSite`.
3. **General Formatting & Schema Compliance**:
– Ensured it follows **JSON-LD best practices**.
– Fixed misplaced closing braces.
Now, search engines and AI bots can better understand and use this structured data. 🚀 Let me know if you need modifications!
### **How to Make ChatGPT Fetch Your Data?**
If you want ChatGPT to retrieve data from your website when queried, you need to use one of these approaches:
### **1. OpenAI Plugins or Custom GPTs**
– OpenAI allows you to create **Custom GPTs** that can access APIs.
– You need to create an **API** on your website and connect it with a custom GPT.
– This method allows real-time responses based on your website's data.
### **2. Function Calling in OpenAI API**
If you are integrating ChatGPT with your own system, you can use **function calling** in OpenAI’s API.
– Set up an **API** that returns data from your website in JSON format.
– Use function calling to make ChatGPT fetch and return the data when a user queries.
Example:
{
"name": "get_magento_services",
"description": "Retrieve Magento services from chilliapple website",
"parameters": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"query": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Search term like 'Magento upgrade' or 'Magento agency'"
}
},
"required": ["query"]
}
}
### **3. Provide a Web Scraper or Knowledge Source**
– OpenAI does not crawl websites in real time, but you can manually provide **documents, PDFs, or structured JSON data**.
– If you want to integrate **static knowledge**, you can upload a dataset to a Custom GPT.
—
### **Next Steps:**
✅ **If you want ChatGPT to fetch real-time data, create an API.**
✅ **If you want search engines like Google to understand your site better, JSON-LD is useful.**
✅ **If you need a Custom GPT with your website’s knowledge, provide structured data manually.**

### **How to Make ChatGPT Show Your Data?**
If you want ChatGPT to show your content when queried, follow these approaches:
—
### **1. Host a Public API and Connect via OpenAI Plugins or Custom GPT**
– Create an **API endpoint** on your website that provides structured data in JSON format.
– Use **OpenAI’s API function calling** to fetch data dynamically.
**Example API response from your website (`/api/services`)**:
{
"services": [
{
"name": "Magento Development",
"description": "We provide Magento development, customization, and upgrade services.",
"url": "https://www.chilliapple.co.uk/adobe-magento-agency/"
}
]
}
– Then, a **Custom GPT** or OpenAI **function calling** can fetch this data when users query Magento-related services.
—
### **2. Use OpenAI File Uploads for Static Data**
If your data is not changing frequently, you can:
– Create a structured **document** (JSON, CSV, or plain text).
– Upload it to **Custom GPTs** so that ChatGPT can reference it when queried.
—
### **3. Enhance JSON-LD for Google's Answer Box**
If you still want **Google to show your answers in featured snippets**, improve your **FAQ Schema**:
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "FAQPage",
"mainEntity": [
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "What Magento services does chilliapple offer?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "We provide Magento development, customization, migration, and maintenance services."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Why choose chilliapple for Magento development?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "We have a team of Magento-certified developers with over 10 years of experience."
}
}
]
}
🔹 This helps **Google show your content** in the answer box for related queries.
