Required. The name of the agent to update or create entity types in. Format: projects/<Project ID>/agent.
Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource parent:
dialogflow.entityTypes.batchUpdate
Request body
The request body contains data with the following structure:
JSON representation
{"languageCode": string,"updateMask": string,// Union field entity_type_batch can be only one of the following:"entityTypeBatchUri": string,"entityTypeBatchInline": {object (EntityTypeBatch)}// End of list of possible types for union field entity_type_batch.}
Fields
languageCode
string
Optional. The language used to access language-specific data. If not specified, the agent's default language is used. For more information, see Multilingual intent and entity data.
Optional. The mask to control which fields get updated.
This is a comma-separated list of fully qualified names of fields. Example: "user.displayName,photo".
Union field entity_type_batch. The source of the entity type batch.
For each entity type in the batch:
If name is specified, we update an existing entity type.
If name is not specified, we create a new entity type. entity_type_batch can be only one of the following:
entityTypeBatchUri
string
The URI to a Google Cloud Storage file containing entity types to update or create. The file format can either be a serialized proto (of EntityBatch type) or a JSON object. Note: The URI must start with "gs://".
