How do I interface with child node when using Python API of Watson Assistant?

  • 1.  How do I interface with child node when using Python API of Watson Assistant?

    Posted Mon February 22, 2021 11:09 AM
    Hi all,

    I have design an IBM Watson Assistant bot. I am trying to feed some inputs to the bot via API instead of deploying it on web. 

    However, when I am using the Python API, I was not able to send the correct input while the awaiting the response from childnode?

    For example, I send 'food' to the bot, then it responded: 'Do you like western, Asian, or Italian?' Then I would send the response as 'Asian'. The bot does not return the response of the child node for 'Asian' options.

    Is there any ways I can deal with this, please? It looks like everything only on the nodes level and not childnode.

    Thanks and appreciate!

    Vincent,

      Make sure that you are maintaining the context of the conversation by using the right conversation ID.  You should also be sure to pass/preserve the context variables in your API calls - this can be very important depending on how you are using context variables within your dialog trees.
