Ramanujan's reciprocity theorem may be considered as a three-variable extension of Jacobi's triple product identity. Using the method of $q$-partial differential equations, we extend Ramanujan's reciprocity theorem to a seven-variable reciprocity formula. The Andrews--Askey integral is a $q$-integral having four parameters with base $q$. Using the same method we extend the Andrews--Askey integral formula to a $q$-integral formula which has seven parameters with base $q$.
