Pass SessionID to api.ai through dotnet sdk

This seems very trivial question, but I can't find a way to pass the SessionID through the ApiAi.TextRequest call

Solution

  • Okay, turns out its the sdk is built in a way to work only from client side. It generates the GUID internally:

        public AIDataService(AIConfiguration config)
    {
        this.config = config;

        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(config.SessionId))
        {
            SessionId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
        }
        else
        {
            SessionId = config.SessionId;
        }
    }

    So what I ended up doing is to add the SessionId object to the ApiRequest object:

        [JsonProperty("sessionId")]
    public string SessionId { get; set; }

    Obviously you will need to refactor the methods signatures
