How to annotate System Entities in Dialogflow API? - dialogflow-es

Question

We are using the Dialogflow API to export entities into Dialogflow.
We cannot use the console because we would need to do it for each customer and it is complicated.
We would like to use system entities though but I cannot manage to find how to do that in the documentation.

Thanks for the help !

Answer 1

As Per your Requirement, you want to add system entities to your Training Phrases through the DialogFlow API and export it to the DialogFlow console. You can achieve this by following the below steps-
1-You have to create an Intent Json file where you need to Provide your Intent and in Training Phrases you will Provide your Training Phrase texts.
For example - if your training phrase is “I speak french and my Address is CDA,sec-9”, you have to break the sentence into parts as DialogFlow API does not automatically annotate training Phrases as Dialogflow Console does.
Do not forget to add Whitespaces after each Text Part.
{
"displayName": "details",
"priority": 500000,
"webhookState": "WEBHOOK_STATE_UNSPECIFIED",
"trainingPhrases": [
{
"name":"",
"type": "EXAMPLE",
"parts": [
{
"text": "I speak "
},
{
"text": "French",
"entityType":"#sys.language",
"alias": "language",
"userDefined": "True"
},
{
"text" : " and My address is "
},
{
"text" : "CDA,SEc-10",
"entityType":"#sys.location",
"alias": "address",
"userDefined": "True"
}
]
}
],
"action": "details",
"messages": [
{
"text": {
"text": [
"Here are my details"
]
}
}
]
}
You can add those system entities which are extendable only as per the doc.
After creating the Json file Use the below Command to export intent with training Phrases to DialogFlow console via DialogFlow API.
Note: You need to add your project id in <project-id> field.
curl -X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer "$(gcloud auth application-default print-access-token) \
-H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" \
-d #intent.json \
