Method: projects.locations.agents.sessions.detectIntent

Processes a natural language query and returns structured, actionable data as a result. This method is not idempotent, because it may cause session entity types to be updated, which in turn might affect results of future queries.

Note: Always use agent versions for production traffic. See Versions and environments.

HTTP request

POST https://{endpoint}/v3/{session=projects/*/locations/*/agents/*/sessions/*}:detectIntent

Where {endpoint} is one of the supported service endpoints.

The URLs use gRPC Transcoding syntax.

Parameters

Required. The name of the session this query is sent to. Format: projects/<ProjectID>/locations/<LocationID>/agents/<AgentID>/sessions/<Session ID> or projects/<ProjectID>/locations/<LocationID>/agents/<AgentID>/environments/<EnvironmentID>/sessions/<SessionID>. If Environment ID is not specified, we assume default 'draft' environment. It's up to the API caller to choose an appropriate Session ID. It can be a random number or some type of session identifiers (preferably hashed). The length of the Session ID must not exceed 36 characters.

For more information, see the sessions guide.
