Class EntityTypesClient (0.7.2)

EntityTypesClient(
    transport=None,
    channel=None,
    credentials=None,
    client_config=None,
    client_info=None,
    client_options=None,
)

Entities are extracted from user input and represent parameters that are meaningful to your application. For example, a date range, a proper name such as a geographic location or landmark, and so on. Entities represent actionable data for your application.

When you define an entity, you can also include synonyms that all map to that entity. For example, "soft drink", "soda", "pop", and so on.

There are three types of entities:

System - entities that are defined by the Dialogflow API for common data types such as date, time, currency, and so on. A system entity is represented by the EntityType type.
Developer - entities that are defined by you that represent actionable data that is meaningful to your application. For example, you could define a pizza.sauce entity for red or white pizza sauce, a pizza.cheese entity for the different types of cheese on a pizza, a pizza.topping entity for different toppings, and so on. A developer entity is represented by the EntityType type.
User - entities that are built for an individual user such as favorites, preferences, playlists, and so on. A user entity is represented by the SessionEntityType type.

For more information about entity types, see the Dialogflow documentation <https://cloud.google.com/dialogflow/docs/entities-overview>__.

Methods

EntityTypesClient

EntityTypesClient(
    transport=None,
    channel=None,
    credentials=None,
    client_config=None,
    client_info=None,
    client_options=None,
)

Constructor.

Parameters
Name	Description
`channel`	`grpc.Channel` DEPRECATED. A `Channel` instance through which to make calls. This argument is mutually exclusive with `credentials`; providing both will raise an exception.
`credentials`	`google.auth.credentials.Credentials` The authorization credentials to attach to requests. These credentials identify this application to the service. If none are specified, the client will attempt to ascertain the credentials from the environment. This argument is mutually exclusive with providing a transport instance to `transport`; doing so will raise an exception.
`client_config`	`dict` DEPRECATED. A dictionary of call options for each method. If not specified, the default configuration is used.
`client_info`	`google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo` The client info used to send a user-agent string along with API requests. If `None`, then default info will be used. Generally, you only need to set this if you're developing your own client library.
`client_options`	`Union[dict, google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions]` Client options used to set user options on the client. API Endpoint should be set through client_options.
