Class SessionsClient (2.8.1)

SessionsClient(*, credentials: Optional[google.auth.credentials.Credentials] = None, transport: Optional[Union[str, google.cloud.dialogflow_v2.services.sessions.transports.base.SessionsTransport]] = None, client_options: Optional[google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions] = None, client_info: google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo = <google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo object>)

A service used for session interactions.

For more information, see the API interactions guide <https://cloud.google.com/dialogflow/docs/api-overview>__.

Properties

transport

Returns the transport used by the client instance.

Returns
Type	Description
`SessionsTransport`	The transport used by the client instance.

Methods

SessionsClient

SessionsClient(*, credentials: Optional[google.auth.credentials.Credentials] = None, transport: Optional[Union[str, google.cloud.dialogflow_v2.services.sessions.transports.base.SessionsTransport]] = None, client_options: Optional[google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions] = None, client_info: google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo = <google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo object>)

Instantiates the sessions 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`	`Union[str, SessionsTransport]` The transport to use. If set to None, a transport is chosen automatically.
`client_options`	`google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions` Custom options for the client. It won't take effect if a `transport` instance is provided. (1) The `api_endpoint` property can be used to override the default endpoint provided by the client. GOOGLE_API_USE_MTLS_ENDPOINT environment variable can also be used to override the endpoint: "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). However, the `api_endpoint` property takes precedence if provided. (2) If GOOGLE_API_USE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE environment variable is "true", then the `client_cert_source` property can be used to provide client certificate for mutual TLS 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.
`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.

common_billing_account_path

common_billing_account_path(billing_account: str)

Returns a fully-qualified billing_account string.

common_folder_path(folder: str)

Returns a fully-qualified folder string.

common_location_path

common_location_path(project: str, location: str)

Returns a fully-qualified location string.

common_organization_path

common_organization_path(organization: str)

detect_intent

detect_intent(request: Optional[Union[google.cloud.dialogflow_v2.types.session.DetectIntentRequest, dict]] = None, *, session: Optional[str] = None, query_input: Optional[google.cloud.dialogflow_v2.types.session.QueryInput] = None, retry: google.api_core.retry.Retry = <_MethodDefault._DEFAULT_VALUE: <object object>>, timeout: Optional[float] = None, metadata: Sequence[Tuple[str, str]] = ())

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.

Note: Always use agent versions for production traffic. See Versions and environments <https://cloud.google.com/dialogflow/es/docs/agents-versions>__.

Parameters
Name	Description
`request`	`Union[google.cloud.dialogflow_v2.types.DetectIntentRequest, dict]` The request object. The request to detect user's intent.
`session`	`str` Required. The name of the session this query is sent to. Format: `projects/`, or `projects/`. If `Environment ID` is not specified, we assume default 'draft' environment (`Environment ID` might be referred to as environment name at some places). If `User ID` is not specified, we are using "-". It's up to the API caller to choose an appropriate `Session ID` and `User Id`. They can be a random number or some type of user and session identifiers (preferably hashed). The length of the `Session ID` and `User ID` must not exceed 36 characters. For more information, see the `API interactions guide https://cloud.google.com/dialogflow/docs/api-overview`. Note: Always use agent versions for production traffic. See `Versions and environments https://cloud.google.com/dialogflow/es/docs/agents-versions`. This corresponds to the `session` field on the `request` instance; if `request` is provided, this should not be set.
`query_input`	`google.cloud.dialogflow_v2.types.QueryInput` Required. The input specification. It can be set to: 1. an audio config which instructs the speech recognizer how to process the speech audio, 2. a conversational query in the form of text, or 3. an event that specifies which intent to trigger. This corresponds to the `query_input` 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_v2.types.DetectIntentResponse`	The message returned from the DetectIntent method.

streaming_detect_intent

streaming_detect_intent(requests: Optional[Iterator[google.cloud.dialogflow_v2.types.session.StreamingDetectIntentRequest]] = None, *, retry: google.api_core.retry.Retry = <_MethodDefault._DEFAULT_VALUE: <object object>>, timeout: Optional[float] = None, metadata: Sequence[Tuple[str, str]] = ())

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).

Note: Always use agent versions for production traffic. See Versions and environments <https://cloud.google.com/dialogflow/es/docs/agents-versions>__.

Parameters
Name	Description
`requests`	`Iterator[google.cloud.dialogflow_v2.types.StreamingDetectIntentRequest]` The request object iterator. The top-level message sent by the client to the Sessions.StreamingDetectIntent method. Multiple request messages should be sent in order: 1. The first message must contain session, query_input plus optionally query_params. If the client wants to receive an audio response, it should also contain output_audio_config. The message must not contain input_audio. 2. If query_input was set to query_input.audio_config, all subsequent messages must contain input_audio to continue with Speech recognition. If you decide to rather detect an intent from text input after you already started Speech recognition, please send a message with query_input.text. However, note that: * Dialogflow will bill you for the audio duration so far. * Dialogflow discards all Speech recognition results in favor of the input text. * Dialogflow will use the language code from the first message. After you sent all input, you must half-close or abort the request stream.
`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

Iterable[google.cloud.dialogflow_v2.types.StreamingDetectIntentResponse] The top-level message returned from the StreamingDetectIntent method. Multiple response messages can be returned in order: 1. If the input was set to streaming audio, the first one or more messages contain recognition_result. Each recognition_result represents a more complete transcript of what the user said. The last recognition_result has is_final set to true. 2. The next message contains response_id, query_result and optionally webhook_status if a WebHook was called.
