kscout/bot-api repository overview

⁠chat-bot-api

API which manages user conversation with virtual assistant

⁠Table Of Contents

⁠Overview

HTTP RESTful API.

Requests pass data via JSON encoded bodies except for in GET requests where data will be passed via URL and query parameters.

Responses will always return JSON.

⁠Watson Assistant API

chatbot-api makes use of IBM`s watson api to create conversations. It uses natural language understanding, and integrated dialog tools to create conversation flows between serverless-registry-api and users.

⁠Development

The Chatbot API server can be run locally. Visit DESIGN.md⁠ to see all endpoints and corresponding responses.

Follow the steps in the Database⁠, Configuration⁠, and Run⁠ sections.

⁠Database

Start a local MongoDB server by running:

make db

⁠Configuration

For local development, create a Wastson Assitant instance in a IBM Cloud Catalog. The instance will be created in a default resource group. Launch the Watson Assistant using dashboard and import the skill available in https://github.com/knative-scout/chat-bot-api/tree/master/training/data/skill-basic-dialogue.json⁠

Configuration is passed via environment variables.

  • BOTUSER_KEY : API key assigned to the bot
  • WORKSPACE_ID :Unique id given to the created skill
  • APP_DB_HOST : Database host
  • APP_DB_NAME : Database name
  • APP_DB_USER : User for this database
  • APP_DB_PASSWORD : Database user password

You can create and inject your own training data / skill by using functions in https://github.com/knative-scout/chat-bot-api/tree/master/training/features⁠

⁠Run

Start the server by running:

pip install -r requirements.txt

python app.py

⁠Deployment

⁠Deployment Configuration

Create a copy of deploy/values.secrets.example.yaml named deploy/values.secrets.ENV.yaml for whichever deployment environment you wish to configure.

Edit this file with your own values.

Never commit this file.

⁠Deploy

Initialize submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Deploy production by running:

make deploy-prod

If this is the first time production has been deployed run:

make rollout-prod
