Failed to replace placeholders in response ‘Today’s temperature is {temp}’. Tried to replace ‘temp’ but could not find a value for it. There is no slot with this name nor did you pass the value explicitly when calling the response. Return response without filling the response. Traceback (most recent call last): File “c:\users\pc\appdata\local\programs\python\python37\lib\site-packages\rasa\core\nlg\interpolator.py”, line 27, in interpolate\_text text = text.format(values) KeyError: ‘temp’ Today’s temperature is {temp}

This is my actions.py import requests from rasa\_sdk import Action, Tracker from rasa\_sdk.events import SlotSet from rasa\_sdk.executor import CollectingDispatcher

class ActionWeather(Action): def name(self): return “action\_weather”

```
def run(self, dispatcher, tracker, domain):
    city = tracker.get_slot("city")
    temp = int(self.weather(city) ['temp'] -273)

    dispatcher.utter_template("utter_temp", tracker, temp=temp, temp_min=temp_min)
    return [SlotSet("temp", temp_min)]

def weather(self,city):
    api_key = "272848452bcd5161666828c54c6c095d"
    url = f"https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q={city}&appid={api_key}"

    response = requests
    .get(url)
    json_data = response.json()
    format_add = json_data['main']
    temp_min = json_data['main'] ['temp_min']
    format_string = "Temperature is:{} celsius, Minimum Temperature is:{} celsius".format(temp, temp_min)
    return format_string
