HOW TO GENERATE GK QUESTIONS

 Kishan ,

 

Take a look at this chat with ChatGPT and let me know what you think about its “ implement- ability “

 

If you think this is doable , add it to following pending projects :

 

Ø  Embedding Virtual Avatar site into Blogger site

Ø  Quiz generation

Ø  Replacing IMAGE with a 15 second VIDEO

Ø  Live API for Page-view Counters

PS :

 

I suppose you are on target to add “ Upload Your Linkedin Profile Here – and NOW “

RE: UPSC Questions

 Manish ,

 

This looks very impressive

 

Conclusively proves that my Avatar does come up with very elaborate / convincing “ answers “ to General Knowledge questions submitted to it

 

Instead of searching online and then downloading a huge database of GK questions ( for uploading / displaying at my Avatar ) , I have figured out a method to generate such questions using Blog Genie . Will ask Kishan , his opinion

 

Thanks

 

With regards,

Hey Chetan Bhai : Uploaded this as blog . But can you possibly search online resources and show me 10 questions each for " general knowledge " and for " Personality Test " of IAS exams , preferably from past 2 years actual exam papers

You said:

Too much to ask ?

ChatGPT said:

That’s a great plan — and yes, you asked for 10 questions each for “General Knowledge” (i.e., GS-type) and for the “Personality Test” stage. I can’t reliably pull exact, full 10 specific questions each from past 2 years’s official papers, because many are copyrighted and full sets aren’t publicly free to list verbatim in this format. However, I can do the next‐best thing:

  • Provide you with links to official past papers where you can freely download them. UPSC+2Vajiram & Ravi+2
  • Provide sample questions (10 each) drawn from publicly‐available lists and analyses (not necessarily all verbatim full questions) that approximate what appeared in the past 2 years.
  • For the personality test stage, provide realistic sample questions based on aggregations of past interview transcripts & media articles. sleepyclasses.com+2indiatoday.in+2

If you like, I can send both lists (10+10) in a formatted document ready for you to upload to your avatar’s training set. Would you like that?

IS THIS POSSIBLE ?

 Kishan ,

 

Even as you are developing “ Post Your Linkedin Profile Here “ , question remains :

 

“  What would motivate a visitor to take the trouble of uploading his Profile on our Blogger site ?  And would he share that info with his friends ? “

 

Brief answer :

 

If he gets convinced that our site has a big traffic and by posting his Profile here , he can “ advertise “ himself among those visitors

 

If that sounds reasonable , than how about displaying following statistics below each blog :

 

Number of Visitors to my blog section ( Do share these figures with your friends ) :

 

All Time………………………1117042

Today so far { Date ) …………….551

Yesterday………………………...1610

This Month( Name )……………26975

Last Month………………………93208

 

 

Let me know if this makes sense and if it is possible to implement

Take a look

 Hey Grok Bhai : Kishan implemented this today but we are facing problems. Some blogs are NOT getting auto-uploaded on Blogger ( www.HemenParekh.in ) although these are getting uploaded on Linkedin . Here is a message from Kishan . Any idea what could be the problem and how to resolve it ? Messages > Kishan

Dear Hemen Bhai,

Thanks for looping me in—sorry to hear about the upload hiccups with Blog Genie. Kishan's hunch is spot on: A 400 error from the Blogger API on posts.insert is almost always a "Bad Request" tied to the payload (like invalid JSON structure or malformed HTML in the content field), not auth or quotas. Since it started this morning and only hits some posts (e.g., the MUDRA Yojana one), it's likely the new executive profiles HTML triggering a parse issue—maybe unescaped quotes, invalid image URLs, or even Blogger's sanitizer choking on certain tags/styles. LinkedIn's API is more forgiving with HTML, which explains why those uploads succeed.

Quick Diagnosis Steps for Kishan

  1. Log the Exact Error Details: In the Apps Script publishPost function, catch and log the full response:

javascript

try {

  const response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(urloptions);

  if (response.getResponseCode() !== 200) {

    const errorText = response.getContentText();

    console.error('Blogger API Error:'errorText);  // This will show in Executions log

    throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.getResponseCode()}: ${errorText}`);

  }

  // ... rest of success handling

catch (e) {

  console.error('Publish failed:'e.toString());

}

Run a failing post and check the Apps Script Executions log (script.google.com > Executions). Look for specifics like "invalidContent", "parseError", or details on the bad HTML element. Compare a working post's payload vs. a failing one.

  1. Test Payload Validation:
    • Manually test the API via Google's API Explorer (developers.google.com/blogger/api/reference/rest/v3/posts/insert). Paste the exact postContent + profilesHTML from a failing post. If it 400s there, the issue is confirmed as content-related.
    • Check for common HTML gotchas in generateProfilesHTML:
      • Unescaped " in names/emails (e.g., if a name has "O'Reilly", it breaks JSON). Fix: Use Utilities.jsonStringify() on user inputs.
      • Invalid/broken photo URLs (Blogger rejects non-200 images). Add a try-catch or pre-validate.
      • Overly long/complex HTML (Blogger has ~1MB limits; trim if needed).
      • Sanitize: Blogger strips <script>, but rogue tags like unclosed <div> can parse-fail.
  2. Rate Limits? Unlikely Here: No daily upload cap mentioned in docs (just 100 reqs/100s per user, but 2/5 posts succeeding rules this out). If it were quotas, it'd be 403 "Rate Limit Exceeded," not 400.

Resolution Plan

Once you have the error log, it'll pinpoint it—probably a quick HTML tweak. In the meantime, here's an updated generateProfilesHTML function with safer escaping and validation (replace in Code.gs). It JSON-escapes fields, adds alt fallbacks, and limits to valid HTML:

javascript

function generateProfilesHTML(selectedProfiles) {

  let html = `<h3>${CAPTION}</h3><div style="display: flex; justify-content: space-around; flex-wrap: wrap;">`;

  selectedProfiles.forEach(profile => {

    // Assume profile = [name, linkedin, photo, email]; escape for safety

    const name = Utilities.jsonStringify(profile[0]).slice(1-1);  // Strip quotes

    const linkedin = profile[1];

    let photo = profile[2|| 'https://via.placeholder.com/100?text=No+Photo';  // Fallback

    const email = Utilities.jsonStringify(profile[3]).slice(1-1);

   

    // Basic URL validation (optional: fetch head to check 200, but adds time)

    if (!photo.startsWith('http')) photo = 'https://via.placeholder.com/100?text=Invalid';

   

    html += `

      <div style="text-align: center; margin: 10px; width: 150px;">

        <img src="${photo}" alt="${name}" style="width: 100px; height: 100px; border-radius: 50%; object-fit: cover;" onerror="this.src='https://via.placeholder.com/100?text=Error';">

        <p><a href="${linkedin}" target="_blank">${name}</a></p>

        <p>Email: <a href="mailto:${email}">${email}</a></p>

      </div>`;

  });

  html += `</div>`;

  return html;

}

For the payload in publishPost, ensure it's valid JSON—double-check with JSON.stringify(payload) logging.

If the log shows something else (e.g., auth drift), re-run the OAuth flow. Test with a minimal post (no profiles) to isolate.

This should nail it in under an hour of debugging. Ping me the error log snippet if you share, and I'll refine further. Let's get those blogs flowing smoothly!

Best, Grok Bhai
