Is it Possible to Query QnAMaker using URL Parameters?

Question

I'm not sure is this is possible. I need to query QnAMaker for answers using a URL Parameter and return the result on the Virtual Assistant chat window (e.g. https://BotFrameWorkURL.html?searchTerm=Password%20Reset.

Answer 1

If I'm understanding you correctly...if you're asking if you could use only the URL parameter and no request, body, then the answer would be "no". The API expects a POST request and to receive a payload body that contains at least the "question"

See QnA Maker documentation on the generate answer API here.

URL Format: https://{QnA-Maker-endpoint}/knowledgebases/{knowledge-base-ID}/generateAnswer

JSON body example:

1. Simplest:

{
    "question": "How much wood would a woodchuck chuk?"
}

2. With more QnA Options:

{
    "question": "qna maker and luis",
    "top": 6,
    "isTest": true,
    "scoreThreshold": 30,
    "rankerType": "" // values: QuestionOnly
    "strictFilters": [
    {
        "name": "category",
        "value": "api"
    }],
    "userId": "sd53lsY="
