I am confused with all the rest API’s provided by Rasa.
I have trained my model successfully.
Now i want to do the conversation using .net code.
/conversations/<conversation_id>/messages
i am able to post payload to above Rest API but not getting bot output in response.
How do i keep getting responses of my input from API like it works with rasa shell?
To talk to the bot via REST use POST on
<base_url>/webhooks/rest/webhook
The body is a json containing sender and message
{"sender": <sender_id>, "message": <message>}
You can choose any string as the sender id.
I second that this is not well documented.
Hi @aniket, welcome to the community.
You can use rest channel to get response from the bot.
Also I have designed the chatbot widget for the same, it’s in jQuery but you can relate it:
Hope it helps 
Thanks.Its working fine
@JiteshGaikwad i am using GitHub - JiteshGaikwad/Chatbot-Widget: ChatBot widget easy to connect to RASA bot through REST channel for ui of my rasa chat bot i have used the following code in my connect.py from rasa_core.channels import SocketIOInput
from rasa_core.agent import Agent
from rasa_core.interpreter import RegexInterpreter
from rasa_core.interpreter import RasaNLUInterpreter
from rasa_core.utils import EndpointConfig
from rasa_core.policies import KerasPolicy, MemoizationPolicy
interpreter = RasaNLUInterpreter(‘rasa/models/nlu/profiler/nlu’)
agent = Agent.load(‘rasa/models/dialogue’,
interpreter=interpreter,
action_endpoint=EndpointConfig('http://localhost:5055/webhook')
#for action endpoint
)
input_channel = SocketIOInput(
# event name for messages sent from the user
user_message_evt="user_uttered",
# event name for messages sent from the bot
bot_message_evt="bot_uttered",
# socket.io namespace to use for the messages
namespace=None
)
s = agent.handle_channels([input_channel], 5500, serve_forever=True) and i have use this in my credentials.yml rest:
socketio:
user_message_evt: user_uttered
bot_message_evt: bot_uttered
session_persistence: true
rasa:
url: http://localhost:5055/webhook
do i have to add something more in my code like in rasa code to send data or it is sufficient.
thank you.
hey @vjaiswal693, first thing first the widget which I have designed is based on rest not socket.io you don’t need to use socket.io for that, it’s pretty simple just follow the below steps and you will get it up & running:
credentials.yml , just add the below lines:rest:
# you don't need to provide anything here - this channel doesn't
# require any credentials
rasa run -m models --enable-api --cors "*" --debug
and that’s it you can test you bot by running the index.html file in your browser
let me know if this helps you.

Thank you for helping me. @JiteshGaikwad is there any widget in which i can use socket.io.if yes kindly brief about the steps how to connect it. if i use this GitHub - JiteshGaikwad/Rasa_CustomUI-v_2.0: Custom UI for Rasa thank you
Hi @vjaiswal693 you can use Rasa Webchat since it uses Socket.IO
@JiteshGaikwad thank you for the help.
Hi @JiteshGaikwad, using you solution together with the rasa x is causing malfunction in the events.db and rasa x is stopping from store the conversations
I changed the endpoint to inject intent in to the conversation and now the rasa x is not having problems any more using your solution.
thanks!
Hello, I have deployed the rasa x in AWS server following this tutorial. Now, I am trying to connect to the rasa x using the Chatbot Widget but, it’s throwing an error
. After surfing the web, I found this issue which was similar to mine. I tried it but, It’s also throwing the same error. It’s working fine Rasa Webchat UI. I don’t know where the error lies. Any help would be appreciated @JiteshGaikwad @Saul.Thanks
I still don’t know solution for this issue but, It got fixed after updating the rasa x version
Thanks
Jitesh, your Widget is awesome, however I am having issues when deploying:
index.html is served by IIS on port 8080 rasa server is running on port 5005 rasa actions is running on port 5050
when I start the conversation I get blocked by CORS, because of the different ports: Front-End and Rasa backends.
hi @JiteshGaikwad after i run the command and i open the widget ,when i type any message into the chatbot it says i am facing some issues please try again later, is there anything i am doing wrong?, thanks in advance
same here
