If you want more information about how to set up Sparkup, you can follow the API tutorial: Getting started with Sparkup

The Sparkup API allows for the generation of custom content by providing your own instructions. This feature can be utilized by specifying your instructions in the sparkup.freeform.instructions setting in Visual Studio Code. The setting is an array of objects, each with the properties of a title, instruction, and an optional number of results (defaulting to 3 with a maximum of 5) that will be sent to the Sparkup API and used to generate the content. The title will be displayed when selecting the instruction.

The instructions object has the following properties:

• title: The title of the instruction. This will be shown when you select the instruction.
• instruction: The instruction that will be sent to the Sparkup API and will be used to generate the content.
• nrOfResults: The number of results that you want to receive from the Sparkup API. This is optional and defaults to 3 with a maximum of 5.
