httpCalls feature (calling other JSON APIs).httpCalls feature allows a Chatbot to consume 3rd party APIs and use the JSON response in another httpCall (for authentication or requesting a token for instance) or directly print the results in Chatbot's Output, this means, for example, you can call a weather API and use the JSON response in your Chatbot's output if the user asks about today's weather or the week's forecast!httpCall model and go through an example step by step, you can also download the example in Postman collection format and run the steps.httpCall is mainly composed from the targetServer array of httpCalls, the latter will have request where you put all details about your actual http request (method,path,headers, etc..) and postResponse where you can define what happens after the httpCall has been executed and a response has been received; such as quick replies by using qrBuildInstruction.${memory.current.httpCalls.<responseObjectName>} to access your JSON object, so you can use it in output templating or in another httpCall, for example an httpCall will get the oAuth token and another httpCall will use in the http headers to authenticate to an API.String) root/context path of the httpCall (e.g http://example.com/api)Boolean) whether to save the JSON response into ${memory.current.httpCalls}Boolean) whether to execute the request without waiting for a response to be returned, (useful for POST)String) name of the JSON object so it can be accessed from other httpCalls or outputsets.String) name of the output/behavior set mapped to this http call.String) JSON path to the target array to be used as body of requests e.g: "memory.current.output"String) name of the variable to be used for each element of array found in pathToTargetArrayString) path in the targetServer of the httpCall (e.g /books)Array:<key, value> ) for each httpCall HTTP headerArray: <key, value>) for each httpCall query parameterString) HTTP Method of the httpCall (e.g GET,POST,etc...)String) value of the contentType HTTP header of the httpCallString) an escaped JSON object that goes in the HTTP Request body if needed.String) path to the array in your JSON response data.String) a variable name that will point to the TargetArray.String) thymeleaf expression to use as a quickReply value.String) expression to retrieve a property from iterationObjectName.String) name of property to be used in templatingString) a static value can be set here if fromObjectPath is not defined./httpcallsstore/httpcalls/httpcallsstore/httpcalls/descriptors/httpcallsstore/httpcalls/{id}/httpcallsstore/httpcalls/{id}/httpcallsstore/httpcalls/{id}/httpcallsstore/httpcalls/{id}/currentversion/httpcallsstore/httpcalls/{id}/currentversionhttpCall)POST http://localhost:7070/regulardictionarystore/regulardictionariesno content201POST http://localhost:7070/behaviorstore/behaviorsetsno content201[[${memory.current.input}]]POST http://localhost:7070/httpcallsstore/httpcallsno content201Note When you set"saveResponse" : trueinhttpCallthen you can use[[${memory.current.httpCalls.<responseObjectName>}]]to access the response data and usethymeleaf(th:each) to iterate overJSONarraysif you have them in yourJSONresponse.
