Class AgentsClient (0.8.0)

AgentsClient(
    transport=None,
    channel=None,
    credentials=None,
    client_config=None,
    client_info=None,
    client_options=None,
)

Agents are best described as Natural Language Understanding (NLU) modules that transform user requests into actionable data. You can include agents in your app, product, or service to determine user intent and respond to the user in a natural way.

After you create an agent, you can add Intents, Contexts, Entity Types, Webhooks, and so on to manage the flow of a conversation and match user input to predefined intents and actions.

You can create an agent using both Dialogflow Standard Edition and Dialogflow Enterprise Edition. For details, see Dialogflow Editions <https://cloud.google.com/dialogflow/docs/editions>__.

You can save your agent for backup or versioning by exporting the agent by using the ExportAgent method. You can import a saved agent by using the ImportAgent method.

Dialogflow provides several prebuilt agents <https://cloud.google.com/dialogflow/docs/agents-prebuilt>__ for common conversation scenarios such as determining a date and time, converting currency, and so on.

For more information about agents, see the Dialogflow documentation <https://cloud.google.com/dialogflow/docs/agents-overview>__.

Methods

AgentsClient

AgentsClient(
    transport=None,
    channel=None,
    credentials=None,
    client_config=None,
    client_info=None,
    client_options=None,
)

Constructor.

Parameters
Name	Description
`channel`	`grpc.Channel` DEPRECATED. A `Channel` instance through which to make calls. This argument is mutually exclusive with `credentials`; providing both will raise an exception.
`credentials`	`google.auth.credentials.Credentials` The authorization credentials to attach to requests. These credentials identify this application to the service. If none are specified, the client will attempt to ascertain the credentials from the environment. This argument is mutually exclusive with providing a transport instance to `transport`; doing so will raise an exception.
`client_config`	`dict` DEPRECATED. A dictionary of call options for each method. If not specified, the default configuration is used.
`client_info`	`google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo` The client info used to send a user-agent string along with API requests. If `None`, then default info will be used. Generally, you only need to set this if you're developing your own client library.
`client_options`	`Union[dict, google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions]` Client options used to set user options on the client. API Endpoint should be set through client_options.
