api.ai: .NET Core Library

The api.ai .NET Library makes it easy to integrate the API.AI natural language processing API into your .NET application. API.AI allows using voice commands and integration with dialog scenarios defined for a particular agent in API.AI.

Library provides simple programming interface for making text and voice requests to the API.AI service.

Getting started

Installation

You can be downloaded as sources from the Releases page.

Usage

Assumed you already have API.AI account and have at least one agent configured. If no, please see documentation on the API.AI website.

First, add following usages to your module:

using ApiAiSDK;
using ApiAiSDK.Model;

Then add ApiAi field to your class:

private ApiAi apiAi;

Now you need to initialize ApiAi object with appropriate access keys and language.

var config = new AIConfiguration("YOUR_CLIENT_ACCESS_TOKEN", SupportedLanguage.English);
apiAi = new ApiAi(config);

Done! Now you can easily do requests to the API.AI service

• using TextRequest method for simple text requests

  var response = apiAi.TextRequest("hello");

• using VoiceRequest method for voice binary data in PCM (16000Hz, Mono, Signed 16 bit) format

  var response = apiAi.VoiceRequest(voiceStream);

Also see unit tests for more examples.
