Amazon Lex Runtime V2 2020-08-07

Client: Aws\LexRuntimeV2\LexRuntimeV2Client
Service ID: runtime.lex.v2
Version: 2020-08-07

This page describes the parameters and results for the operations of the Amazon Lex Runtime V2 (2020-08-07), and shows how to use the Aws\LexRuntimeV2\LexRuntimeV2Client object to call the described operations. This documentation is specific to the 2020-08-07 API version of the service.

Operation Summary

Each of the following operations can be created from a client using $client->getCommand('CommandName'), where "CommandName" is the name of one of the following operations. Note: a command is a value that encapsulates an operation and the parameters used to create an HTTP request.

You can also create and send a command immediately using the magic methods available on a client object: $client->commandName(/* parameters */). You can send the command asynchronously (returning a promise) by appending the word "Async" to the operation name: $client->commandNameAsync(/* parameters */).

DeleteSession ( array $params = [] )
Removes session information for a specified bot, alias, and user ID.
GetSession ( array $params = [] )
Returns session information for a specified bot, alias, and user.
PutSession ( array $params = [] )
Creates a new session or modifies an existing session with an Amazon Lex V2 bot.
RecognizeText ( array $params = [] )
Sends user input to Amazon Lex V2.
RecognizeUtterance ( array $params = [] )
Sends user input to Amazon Lex V2.

Operations

DeleteSession 

$result = $client->deleteSession([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->deleteSessionAsync([/* ... */]);

Removes session information for a specified bot, alias, and user ID.

You can use this operation to restart a conversation with a bot. When you remove a session, the entire history of the session is removed so that you can start again.

You don't need to delete a session. Sessions have a time limit and will expire. Set the session time limit when you create the bot. The default is 5 minutes, but you can specify anything between 1 minute and 24 hours.

If you specify a bot or alias ID that doesn't exist, you receive a BadRequestException.

If the locale doesn't exist in the bot, or if the locale hasn't been enables for the alias, you receive a BadRequestException.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->deleteSession([
    'botAliasId' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'botId' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'localeId' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'sessionId' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
]);

GetSession 

$result = $client->getSession([/* ... */]);

Returns session information for a specified bot, alias, and user.

For example, you can use this operation to retrieve session information for a user that has left a long-running session in use.

If the bot, alias, or session identifier doesn't exist, Amazon Lex V2 returns a BadRequestException. If the locale doesn't exist or is not enabled for the alias, you receive a BadRequestException.

$result = $client->getSession([
    'botAliasId' => '<string>', // REQUIRED

RecognizeText 

$result = $client->recognizeText([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->recognizeTextAsync([/* ... */]);

Sends user input to Amazon Lex V2. Client applications use this API to send requests to Amazon Lex V2 at runtime. Amazon Lex V2 then interprets the user input using the machine learning model that it build for the bot.

In response, Amazon Lex V2 returns the next message to convey to the user and an optional response card to display.

If the optional post-fulfillment response is specified, the messages are returned as follows. For more information, see PostFulfillmentStatusSpecification.

  • Success message - Returned if the Lambda function completes successfully and the intent state is fulfilled or ready fulfillment if the message is present.

  • Failed message - The failed message is returned if the Lambda function throws an exception or if the Lambda function returns a failed intent state without a message.

  • Timeout message - If you don't configure a timeout message and a timeout, and the Lambda function doesn't return within 30 seconds, the timeout message is returned. If you configure a timeout, the timeout message is returned when the period times out.

For more information, see Completion message.

RecognizeUtterance 

$result = $client->recognizeUtterance([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->recognizeUtteranceAsync([/* ... */]);

Sends user input to Amazon Lex V2. You can send text or speech. Clients use this API to send text and audio requests to Amazon Lex V2 at runtime. Amazon Lex V2 interprets the user input using the machine learning model built for the bot.

The following request fields must be compressed with gzip and then base64 encoded before you send them to Amazon Lex V2.

  • requestAttributes

  • sessionState

The following response fields are compressed using gzip and then base64 encoded by Amazon Lex V2. Before you can use these fields, you must decode and decompress them.

  • inputTranscript

  • interpretations

  • messages

  • requestAttributes

  • sessionState

The example contains a Java application that compresses and encodes a Java object to send to Amazon Lex V2, and a second that decodes and decompresses a response from Amazon Lex V2.

If the optional post-fulfillment response is specified, the messages are returned as follows. For more information, see PostFulfillmentStatusSpecification.

  • Success message - Returned if the Lambda function completes successfully and the intent state is fulfilled or ready fulfillment if the message is present.

  • Failed message - The failed message is returned if the Lambda function throws an exception or if the Lambda function returns a failed intent state without a message.

  • Timeout message - If you don't configure a timeout message and a timeout, and the Lambda function doesn't return within 30 seconds, the timeout message is returned. If you configure a timeout, the timeout message is returned when the period times out.

For more information, see Completion message.

The prompt or statement to send to the user. This is based on the bot configuration and context. For example, if Amazon Lex V2 did not understand the user intent, it sends the clarificationPrompt configured for the bot. If the intent requires confirmation before taking the fulfillment action, it sends the confirmationPrompt. Another example: Suppose that the Lambda function successfully fulfilled the intent, and sent a message to convey to the user. Then Amazon Lex V2 sends that message in the response.

If the input was an audio stream, the inputTranscript field contains the text extracted from the audio stream. This is the text that is actually processed to recognize intents and slot values. You can use this information to determine if Amazon Lex V2 is correctly processing the audio that you send.
