Try using API.AI Python SDK

I would like to touch API.AI from Python code. If you don't know what API.AI is, please refer to here. I would like to proceed with this sample based on the project created in here.

Install API.AI Python SDK

The SDK project is published on Github. It is recommended because it contains a simple sample.

It can also be installed with pip.

pip install apiai

Get CLIENT ACCESS TOKEN

You can check the Token by selecting any project on the console and clicking the gear mark. Make a copy of the Token.

Try out

Here I will send "Miso ramen please" to the Intent to order the ramen created.

Put the Token you got earlier in CLIENT ACCESS TOKEN.

Python code

`send_text_example.py`


#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import os.path
import sys

try:
    import apiai
except ImportError:
    sys.path.append(
        os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)), os.pardir)
    )
    import apiai

CLIENT_ACCESS_TOKEN = 'CLIENT ACCESS TOKEN'

def main():
    ai = apiai.ApiAI(CLIENT_ACCESS_TOKEN)

    request = ai.text_request()

    request.lang = 'ja'  # optional, default value equal 'en'

    request.session_id = '<SESSION ID, UNIQUE FOR EACH USER>'

    request.query = u'I'd like miso ramen.'

    response = request.getresponse()

    print (response.read())


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Run

python send_text_example.py
