Class SessionsClient (4.39.0)

GitHub RepositoryProduct Reference

Service Description: A service used for session interactions.

For more information, see the API interactions guide.

This class provides the ability to make remote calls to the backing service through method calls that map to API methods. Sample code to get started:


 // This snippet has been automatically generated and should be regarded as a code template only.
 // It will require modifications to work:
 // - It may require correct/in-range values for request initialization.
 // - It may require specifying regional endpoints when creating the service client as shown in
 // https://cloud.google.com/java/docs/setup#configure_endpoints_for_the_client_library
 try (SessionsClient sessionsClient = SessionsClient.create()) {
   SessionName session = SessionName.ofProjectSessionName("[PROJECT]", "[SESSION]");
   QueryInput queryInput = QueryInput.newBuilder().build();
   DetectIntentResponse response = sessionsClient.detectIntent(session, queryInput);
 }

Note: close() needs to be called on the SessionsClient object to clean up resources such as threads. In the example above, try-with-resources is used, which automatically calls close().

Method Description Method Variants
DetectIntent

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

If you might use Agent Assist or other CCAI products now or in the future, consider using AnalyzeContent instead of DetectIntent. AnalyzeContent has additional functionality for Agent Assist and other CCAI products.

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

Request object method variants only take one parameter, a request object, which must be constructed before the call.

  • detectIntent(DetectIntentRequest request)

"Flattened" method variants have converted the fields of the request object into function parameters to enable multiple ways to call the same method.

  • detectIntent(SessionName session, QueryInput queryInput)
  • detectIntent(String session, QueryInput queryInput)

Callable method variants take no parameters and return an immutable API callable object, which can be used to initiate calls to the service.

  • detectIntentCallable()
StreamingDetectIntent

Processes a natural language query in audio format in a streaming fashion and returns structured, actionable data as a result. This method is only available via the gRPC API (not REST).

If you might use Agent Assist or other CCAI products now or in the future, consider using StreamingAnalyzeContent instead of StreamingDetectIntent. StreamingAnalyzeContent has additional functionality for Agent Assist and other CCAI products.

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

Callable method variants take no parameters and return an immutable API callable object, which can be used to initiate calls to the service.

  • streamingDetectIntentCallable()
ListLocations

Lists information about the supported locations for this service.

Request object method variants only take one parameter, a request object, which must be constructed before the call.

  • listLocations(ListLocationsRequest request)

Callable method variants take no parameters and return an immutable API callable object, which can be used to initiate calls to the service.

  • listLocationsPagedCallable()
  • listLocationsCallable()
GetLocation

Gets information about a location.

Request object method variants only take one parameter, a request object, which must be constructed before the call.

  • getLocation(GetLocationRequest request)

Callable method variants take no parameters and return an immutable API callable object, which can be used to initiate calls to the service.

  • getLocationCallable()

See the individual methods for example code.

Many parameters require resource names to be formatted in a particular way. To assist with these names, this class includes a format method for each type of name, and additionally a parse method to extract the individual identifiers contained within names that are returned.

This class can be customized by passing in a custom instance of SessionsSettings to create(). For example:

To customize credentials:


 // This snippet has been automatically generated and should be regarded as a code template only.
 // It will require modifications to work:
 // - It may require correct/in-range values for request initialization.
 // - It may require specifying regional endpoints when creating the service client as shown in
 // https://cloud.google.com/java/docs/setup#configure_endpoints_for_the_client_library
 SessionsSettings sessionsSettings =
     SessionsSettings.newBuilder()
         .setCredentialsProvider(FixedCredentialsProvider.create(myCredentials))
         .build();
 SessionsClient sessionsClient = SessionsClient.create(sessionsSettings);

To customize the endpoint:


 // This snippet has been automatically generated and should be regarded as a code template only.
 // It will require modifications to work:
 // - It may require correct/in-range values for request initialization.
 // - It may require specifying regional endpoints when creating the service client as shown in
 // https://cloud.google.com/java/docs/setup#configure_endpoints_for_the_client_library
 SessionsSettings sessionsSettings =
     SessionsSettings.newBuilder().setEndpoint(myEndpoint).build();
 SessionsClient sessionsClient = SessionsClient.create(sessionsSettings);

To use REST (HTTP1.1/JSON) transport (instead of gRPC) for sending and receiving requests over the wire:


 // This snippet has been automatically generated and should be regarded as a code template only.
 // It will require modifications to work:
 // - It may require correct/in-range values for request initialization.
 // - It may require specifying regional endpoints when creating the service client as shown in
 // https://cloud.google.com/java/docs/setup#configure_endpoints_for_the_client_library
 SessionsSettings sessionsSettings = SessionsSettings.newHttpJsonBuilder().build();
 SessionsClient sessionsClient = SessionsClient.create(sessionsSettings);
