Create a "Hello World" bot
Follow these steps to create the configuration files you will need:
You have guessed it correctly, another
POST
to /outputstore/outputsets
creates the bot's Output
with a JSON in the body like this:{
"outputSet": [
{
"action": "CONVERSATION_START",
"timesOccurred": 0,
"outputs": [
{
"valueAlternatives": [
{
"type": "text",
"text": "Hello World!"
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
You should again get a return code of
201
with a URI
in the location
header referencing the newly created output :eddi://ai.labs.output/outputstore/outputsets/
<UNIQUE_OUTPUTSET_ID>
?version=
<OUTPUTSET_VERSION>
Example :
eddi://ai.labs.output/outputstore/outputsets/5a26d97417312628b46119fc?version=1
Now we will align the just created
LifecycleTasks
in the Package
. Make a POST
to /packagestore/packages
with a JSON in the body like this:{
"packageExtensions": [
{
"type": "eddi://ai.labs.output",
"config": {
"uri": "eddi://ai.labs.output/outputstore/outputsets/<UNIQUE_OUTPUTSET_ID>?version=<OUTPUTSET_VERSION>"
}
}
]
}
Name | Description | Required |
packageextensions | Array of PackageExtension | |
PackageExtension.type | possible values, see table below " Extension Types " | |
PackageExtension.extensions | Array of Object | False |
PackageExtension.config | Config object, but can be empty. | True |
Extension Types in this examples
Extension | Config |
eddi://ai.labs.output | Object Config contains param uri with Link to output set, e.g. eddi://ai.labs.output/outputstore/outputsets/5a26d97417312628b46119fc?version=1 |
eddi://ai.labs.package/packagestore/packages/<UNIQUE_PACKAGE_ID>?version=<PACKAGE_VERSION>
Example
eddi://ai.labs.package/packagestore/packages/5a2ae60f17312624f8b8a445?version=1
Make a
POST
to /botstore/bots
with a JSON like this:{
"packages": [
"eddi://ai.labs.package/packagestore/packages/<UNIQUE_PACKAGE_ID>?version=<PACKAGE_VERSION>"
]
}
Name | Description |
packages | Array of String , references to Packages |
b. You should again get a return code of
201
with a URI
in the location
header referencing the newly created bot :eddi://ai.labs.bot/botstore/bots/
<UNIQUE_BOT_ID>
?version=
<BOT_VERSION>
Example:
eddi://ai.labs.bot/botstore/bots/5a2ae68a17312624f8b8a446?version=1
Finally, we are ready to let the bot fly. From here on, you have the possibility to let an UI do it for you or you do it step by step.
The UI that automates these steps can be reached here:
/chat/unrestricted/
<UNIQUE_BOT_ID>
Otherwise via REST:
- 1.Deploy the Bot:Make a
POST
to/administration/unrestricted/deploy/
<UNIQUE_BOT_ID>
?version=
<BOT_VERSION>
You will receive a202
http code. - 2.Since deployment could take a while it has been made asynchronous.
- 3.Make a
GET
to/administration/unrestricted/deploymentstatus/
<UNIQUE_BOT_ID>
?version=
<BOT_VERSION>
to find out the status of deployment.
NOT_FOUND
, IN_PROGRESS
, ERROR
and READY
is what you can expect to be returned in the body.- 1.As soon as the Bot is deployed and has
READY
status, make aPOST
to/bots/unrestricted/
<UNIQUE_BOT_ID>
- 1.You will receive a
201
with theURI
for the newly created Conversation, like this:- 1.e.g.
eddi://ai.labs.conversation/conversationstore/conversations/
<UNIQUE_CONVERSATION_ID>
- 2.Now it's time to start talking to our Bot 1. Make a
POST
to/bots/unrestricted/
<UNIQUE_BOT_ID>
/
<UNIQUE_CONVERSATION_ID>
Option 1: is to hand over the input text as
contentType text/plain
. Include the User Input in the body as text/plain
(e.g. Hello) Option 2: is to hand over the input as
contentType application/json
, which also allows you to handover context information that you can use with the eddi configurations 1. Include the User Input in the body as application/json (e.g. Hello){
"input": "some user input"
}
- 1.You have two query params you can use to config the returned output 1.
returnDetailed
- default is false - will return all sub results of the entire conversation steps, otherwise only public ones such as input, action, output & quickreplies 2.returnCurrentStepOnly
- default is true - will return only the latest conversation step that has just been processed, otherwise returns all conversation steps since the beginning of this conversation - 2.The output from the bot will be returned as JSON
- 3.If you are interested in fetching the
conversationmemory
at any given time, make aGET
to/bots/unrestricted/
<UNIQUE_BOT_ID>
/
<UNIQUE_CONVERSATION_ID>
?returnDetailed=true
(the query param is optional, default is false)
