DialogFlow (API.AI) Golang SDK

DialogFlow (formerly API.AI) gives users new ways to interact with your bot by building engaging voice and text-based conversational interfaces powered by AI.

DialogFlow offers many SDKs in different programming languages:

But unfortunately, there’s no SDK for Golang

But dont be sad, I made an SDK to integrate DialogFlow with Golang:

This library allows integrating agents from the DialogFlow natural language processing service with your Golang application.

Issue the following command to install the library:

go get github.com/mlabouardy/dialogflow-go-client

The example below, display list of entities:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/mlabouardy/dialogflow-go-client"
	"github.com/mlabouardy/dialogflow-go-client/models"
	"log"
)

func main() {
	err, client := NewDialogFlowClient(Options{
		AccessToken: "<DIALOGFLOW TOKEN GOES HERE>",
	})
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	entities, err := client.EntitiesFindAllRequest()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	for _, entity := range entities {
		fmt.Println(entity.Name)
	}
}
