I am calling rasa’s rest ap /webhooks/rest/webhook from python flask app.
{
"sender": "Rasa",
"message": "Hi there!"
}
And i need the sender_id value in the response.
like
[
{"text": "Hey Rasa!"}, {"image": "http://example.com/image.jpg"},{"sender_id":"Rasa"}
]
How can i get this?
Hey Kabeer,
I am not sure this what you are looking for.
In python
a = [ {“text”: “Hey Rasa!”}, {“image”: “http://example.com/image.jpg”}, {“sender_id”:“Rasa”} ]
print(a[2][‘sender_id’])
@MuraliChandran14 , Thanks for your answer, Unfortunately, this not what i looking for.
I think your solution saying, how to retrieve the ‘sender_id’from the list of dictionaries. Actually i am not getting the sender_id` in the response from rasa.
This is the response i am getting from rasa:
[ {"text": "Hey Rasa!"}, {"image": "http://example.com/image.jpg"}]
And this is what i need to get from rasa:
[ {“text”: “Hey Rasa!”}, {“image”: “http://example.com/image.jpg”}, {“sender_id”:“Rasa”} ]
I hope you got my question.
Thanks for clarifying
(tracker.current_state())[“sender_id”] or tracker.sender_id
Will help you get the sender_id in your actions.py
However, In Rasa HTTP server, sender_id is a URL route parameter, rather than a POST body parameter.
your HTTP request should look like this if you want sender_id to be Rasa :
localhost:5005/conversations/Rasa/respond
Please refer here
Hope this helps!
@MuraliChandran14 ,
The first solution (tracker.current_state())[“sender_id”] or tracker.sender_id can use from actions.py. But this is not what i am looking for.
I am calling rest api call from flask app, and i need the sender_id in that file, not in actions.
And your second solution, i tried this localhost:5005/conversations/Rasa/respond, but getting below error, Error: Requested URL /conversations/rasa/respond not found
using recent current rasa version (1.9.7), you get the sender_id you need, that’s (weirdly 
) called recipient_id. See curl example here:
$ curl -s localhost:5005/webhooks/rest/webhook \
-d '{ "sender": "Giorgio", "message": "I am a bit sad"}' | json
[
{
"recipient_id": "Giorgio",
"text": "Here is something to cheer you up:"
},
{
"image": "https://i.imgur.com/nGF1K8f.jpg",
"recipient_id": "Giorgio"
},
{
"recipient_id": "Giorgio",
"text": "Are you feeling better?"
}
]
@kabeer First, I have to apologize for misunderstanding your question. You have to get sender_id whenever you get response from the API you are calling.
I hope this it the output you are expecting. For that I assume there is no API you need to call to get sender_ID.
The ideal step is to be customizing your channel.py in your rasa folder.
you can do that by adding
collector.messages.append({"sender_id": sender_id})
at your channel.py in class RestInput(InputChannel):
This will resolve your issue I hope
