Class ContextsClient (2.35.0)

ContextsClient(*, credentials: typing.Optional[google.auth.credentials.Credentials] = None, transport: typing.Optional[typing.Union[str, google.cloud.dialogflow_v2beta1.services.contexts.transports.base.ContextsTransport, typing.Callable[[...], google.cloud.dialogflow_v2beta1.services.contexts.transports.base.ContextsTransport]]] = None, client_options: typing.Optional[typing.Union[google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions, dict]] = None, client_info: google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo = <google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo object>)

Service for managing Contexts.

Properties

api_endpoint

Return the API endpoint used by the client instance.

Returns
Type Description
str The API endpoint used by the client instance.

transport

Returns the transport used by the client instance.

Returns
Type Description
ContextsTransport The transport used by the client instance.

universe_domain

Return the universe domain used by the client instance.

Returns
Type Description
str The universe domain used by the client instance.

Methods

ContextsClient

ContextsClient(*, credentials: typing.Optional[google.auth.credentials.Credentials] = None, transport: typing.Optional[typing.Union[str, google.cloud.dialogflow_v2beta1.services.contexts.transports.base.ContextsTransport, typing.Callable[[...], google.cloud.dialogflow_v2beta1.services.contexts.transports.base.ContextsTransport]]] = None, client_options: typing.Optional[typing.Union[google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions, dict]] = None, client_info: google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo = <google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo object>)

Instantiates the contexts client.

Parameters
Name Description
credentials Optional[google.auth.credentials.Credentials]

The authorization credentials to attach to requests. These credentials identify the application to the service; if none are specified, the client will attempt to ascertain the credentials from the environment.

transport Optional[Union[str,ContextsTransport,Callable[..., ContextsTransport]]]

The transport to use, or a Callable that constructs and returns a new transport. If a Callable is given, it will be called with the same set of initialization arguments as used in the ContextsTransport constructor. If set to None, a transport is chosen automatically.

client_options Optional[Union[google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions, dict]]

Custom options for the client. 1. The api_endpoint property can be used to override the default endpoint provided by the client when transport is not explicitly provided. Only if this property is not set and transport was not explicitly provided, the endpoint is determined by the GOOGLE_API_USE_MTLS_ENDPOINT environment variable, which have one of the following values: "always" (always use the default mTLS endpoint), "never" (always use the default regular endpoint) and "auto" (auto-switch to the default mTLS endpoint if client certificate is present; this is the default value). 2. If the GOOGLE_API_USE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE environment variable is "true", then the client_cert_source property can be used to provide a client certificate for mTLS transport. If not provided, the default SSL client certificate will be used if present. If GOOGLE_API_USE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE is "false" or not set, no client certificate will be used. 3. The universe_domain property can be used to override the default "googleapis.com" universe. Note that the api_endpoint property still takes precedence; and universe_domain is currently not supported for mTLS.

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.

Exceptions
Type Description
google.auth.exceptions.MutualTLSChannelError If mutual TLS transport creation failed for any reason.

__exit__

__exit__(type, value, traceback)

Releases underlying transport's resources.

    request: typing.Optional[
        google.longrunning.operations_pb2.CancelOperationRequest

Parameters
Name Description
request Union[google.cloud.dialogflow_v2beta1.types.CreateContextRequest, dict]

The request object. The request message for Contexts.CreateContext.

parent str

Required. The session to create a context for. Supported formats: - <code>projects//agent/sessions/, - projects/

context google.cloud.dialogflow_v2beta1.types.Context

Required. The context to create. This corresponds to the context field on the request instance; if request is provided, this should not be set.

retry google.api_core.retry.Retry

Designation of what errors, if any, should be retried.

timeout float

The timeout for this request.

metadata Sequence[Tuple[str, str]]

Strings which should be sent along with the request as metadata.

Returns
Type Description
google.cloud.dialogflow_v2beta1.types.Context Dialogflow contexts are similar to natural language context. If a person says to you "they are orange", you need context in order to understand what "they" is referring to. Similarly, for Dialogflow to handle an end-user expression like that, it needs to be provided with context in order to correctly match an intent. Using contexts, you can control the flow of a conversation. You can configure contexts for an intent by setting input and output contexts, which are identified by string names. When an intent is matched, any configured output contexts for that intent become active. While any contexts are active, Dialogflow is more likely to match intents that are configured with input contexts that correspond to the currently active contexts. For more information about context, see the [Contexts guide](\ https://cloud.google.com/dialogflow/docs/contexts-overview).

Parameters
Name Description
request Union[google.cloud.dialogflow_v2beta1.types.UpdateContextRequest, dict]

The request object. The request message for Contexts.UpdateContext.

context google.cloud.dialogflow_v2beta1.types.Context

Required. The context to update. This corresponds to the context field on the request instance; if request is provided, this should not be set.

update_mask google.protobuf.field_mask_pb2.FieldMask

Optional. The mask to control which fields get updated. This corresponds to the update_mask field on the request instance; if request is provided, this should not be set.

retry google.api_core.retry.Retry

Designation of what errors, if any, should be retried.

timeout float

The timeout for this request.

metadata Sequence[Tuple[str, str]]

Strings which should be sent along with the request as metadata.

Returns
Type Description
google.cloud.dialogflow_v2beta1.types.Context Dialogflow contexts are similar to natural language context. If a person says to you "they are orange", you need context in order to understand what "they" is referring to. Similarly, for Dialogflow to handle an end-user expression like that, it needs to be provided with context in order to correctly match an intent. Using contexts, you can control the flow of a conversation. You can configure contexts for an intent by setting input and output contexts, which are identified by string names. When an intent is matched, any configured output contexts for that intent become active. While any contexts are active, Dialogflow is more likely to match intents that are configured with input contexts that correspond to the currently active contexts. For more information about context, see the [Contexts guide](\ https://cloud.google.com/dialogflow/docs/contexts-overview).
