The documentation is extremely lacking

[bramski]

You've only documented the textRequest function... but clearly if I read your source you have implemented much much more.

Itd be great if your support team or your docs could answer the 1000 questions I have. A more detailed doc would be great.

Hey Kameron,

Are you on a paying plan with API ai? We are on the free plan and their responsiveness is very poor. I'd want to know it is that much better before paying for their support plan.

Does anyone know what goes in the field? Do I fill in the intents or entities for that? I am struggling to wrap my head around how to implement the SDK in my node app

[gozup]

+1 for better doc

[tefrati]

+1 here as well. Documentation is very lacking. Not all examples use sessionID, voice requests are not mentioned in [https://docs.api.ai/docs/reference], etc. BTW, I know this is petty, but util.inhertis is discouraged. All in all, in a sharp contracts to the overall service, the node SDK and relevant documentation is quite underwhelming

[dougmaloney]

phew. i thought it was just me. taken me ages to understand how any of this works, and still not there. when I use the provided sample it runs once only (without any intent being fired) , subsequent attempts I just get a 206/503 error. any tips ?

[sstepashka]

@dougmaloney What's sample? Where you found it? Is tested locally? Provide detail information about crash, in your screenshot i see only few lines of error.

[dougmaloney]

@sstepashka - hi - thanks for the query - here are 3 screenshots.

1. - very slightly modified from the original text_request.js in the samples folder. I have this deployed on heroku
2. that is displayed when I deploy the code (before any action from the api.ai bot)
3. - displayed when i fire a query at api.ai

All I really want to do is get any response from my node app. then work from there.

Same issue here. Trying to call a simple webhook and it fails.

I've the same problem, I've tried several samples and I get action: 'input.unknown' on each. More details:

samples\server.js

errorDetails: 'This endpoing is not longer available.'

samples\voice_requests.js returns:

{ code: 410, errorType: 'gone', errorDetails: 'This endpoing is not longer available.' } }

samples\text_request_with_parameters.js

...fulfillment: { speech: 'Sorry, what was that?'...

samples\text_request_with_contexts.js

"speech": "I didn't get that. Can you say it again?"
