class ActionCity(Action):

city_key = 0

def name(self):
	return 'action_city'

def run(self,dispatcher, tracker,domain):
	city_response = "http://165.227.69.207:9001/api/country/get"
	city_response_json = requests.get(city_response).json()
	print(city_response_json)

	print("--------cityid--------------------")
	city_namee = tracker.get_slot('city_name')

	if city_namee == None:
		print("city not coming")

	else:
		print("city coming " + city_namee)

	city_res = ""
	city_ls = {}

	for i in range(0, len(city_response_json["data"][0]["cities"])):
		city_id = city_response_json["data"][0]["cities"][i]["_id"]
		city_name = city_response_json["data"][0]["cities"][i]["city_name"]
		city_ls.update({city_name: city_id})

	print(city_namee)
	city_ls = {k.lower():v for k, v in city_ls.items()}
	for key, value in city_ls.items():
		if city_namee in key:
			print(city_namee)
			print(key, value)
			city_key = value
			return city_key

	# print(key,value)
	if city_namee in city_ls:
		print(city_namee)
		response = "The city exists in our application".format(city_namee)
		print(response)
	else:
		print("not exists")
		response = "The city doesnt exists in our application"
		print(response)
	dispatcher.utter_message(response)
	return  [SlotSet('city_name',city_namee)]

---------- i am returning city_key and i want this key in another custom_action named as ActionCategory, what should i do, I have made the object too but when i make the object of run() method, it will ask me four parameters to give.

Hi @jehanzaib12!

The run method should return a list of events, so don’t return city_key directly. Instead, make an unfeaturized slot city_key and return [SlotSet('city_key',city_key)] now you can extract the value of this slot in your other action by calling

city_key = tracker.get_slot('city_key')

Hope that helps!
