2021/01/22 - Amazon Lex Runtime V2 - 5 new api methods
Changes Updates API to latest version.
Sends user input to Amazon Lex. Client applications use this API to send requests to Amazon Lex at runtime. Amazon Lex then interprets the user input using the machine learning model that it build for the bot.
In response, Amazon Lex returns the next message to convey to the user and an optional response card to display.

Sets the state of the session with the user. You can use this to set the current intent, attributes, context, and dialog action. Use the dialog action to determine the next step that Amazon Lex should use in the conversation with the user.
dialogAction (dict) --
The next step that Amazon Lex should take in the conversation with a user.
type (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The next action that the bot should take in its interaction with the user. The possible values are:
Close - Indicates that there will not be a response from the user. For example, the statement "Your order has been placed" does not require a response.
ConfirmIntent - The next action is asking the user if the intent is complete and ready to be fulfilled. This is a yes/no question such as "Place the order?"
Delegate - The next action is determined by Amazon Lex.
ElicitSlot - The next action is to elicit a slot value from the user.
slotToElicit (string) --
The name of the slot that should be elicited from the user.
intent (dict) --
The active intent that Amazon Lex is processing.
name (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The name of the intent.
slots (dict) --
A map of all of the slots for the intent. The name of the slot maps to the value of the slot. If a slot has not been filled, the value is null.
(string) --
(dict) --
A value that Amazon Lex uses to fulfill an intent.
value (dict) --
The current value of the slot.
originalValue (string) --
The text of the utterance from the user that was entered for the slot.
interpretedValue (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The value that Amazon Lex determines for the slot. The actual value depends on the setting of the value selection strategy for the bot. You can choose to use the value entered by the user, or you can have Amazon Lex choose the first value in the resolvedValues list.
resolvedValues (list) --
A list of additional values that have been recognized for the slot.
(string) --
state (string) --
Contains fulfillment information for the intent.
confirmationState (string) --
Contains information about whether fulfillment of the intent has been confirmed.
activeContexts (list) --
One or more contexts that indicate to Amazon Lex the context of a request. When a context is active, Amazon Lex considers intents with the matching context as a trigger as the next intent in a session.
(dict) --
Contains information about the contexts that a user is using in a session. You can configure Amazon Lex to set a context when an intent is fulfilled, or you can set a context using the , , or operations.
Use a context to indicate to Amazon Lex intents that should be used as follow-up intents. For example, if the active context is order-fulfilled , only intents that have order-fulfilled configured as a trigger are considered for follow up.
name (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The name of the context.
timeToLive (dict) -- [REQUIRED]
Indicates the number of turns or seconds that the context is active. Once the time to live expires, the context is no longer returned in a response.

The number of seconds that the context is active. You can specify between 5 and 86400 seconds (24 hours).
turnsToLive (integer) -- [REQUIRED]
The number of turns that the context is active. You can specify up to 20 turns. Each request and response from the bot is a turn.
contextAttributes (dict) --
A lis tof contexts active for the request. A context can be activated when a previous intent is fulfilled, or by including the context in the request.
If you don't specify a list of contexts, Amazon Lex will use the current list of contexts for the session. If you specify an empty list, all contexts for the session are cleared.
(string) --
(string) --

Response Structure
(dict) --
contentType (string) --
The type of response. Same as the type specified in the responseContentType field in the request.
messages (string) --
A list of messages that were last sent to the user. The messages are ordered based on how you return the messages from you Lambda function or the order that the messages are defined in the bot.
sessionState (string) --
Represents the current state of the dialog between the user and the bot.
Use this to determine the progress of the conversation and what the next action may be.
requestAttributes (string) --
Request-specific information passed between the client application and Amazon Lex. These are the same as the requestAttribute parameter in the call to the PutSession operation.
sessionId (string) --
The identifier of the session that received the data.
audioStream (:class:`.StreamingBody`) --
If the requested content type was audio, the audio version of the message to convey to the user.
Sends user input to Amazon Lex. You can send text or speech. Clients use this API to send text and audio requests to Amazon Lex at runtime. Amazon Lex interprets the user input using the machine learning model built for the bot.

Request-specific information passed between the client application and Amazon Lex
The namespace x-amz-lex: is reserved for special attributes. Don't create any request attributes for prefix x-amz-lex: .
string
[REQUIRED]
Indicates the format for audio input or that the content is text. The header must start with one of the following prefixes:
PCM format, audio data must be in little-endian byte order.
audio/l16; rate=16000; channels=1
audio/x-l16; sample-rate=16000; channel-count=1
audio/lpcm; sample-rate=8000; sample-size-bits=16; channel-count=1; is-big-endian=false
Opus format
audio/x-cbr-opus-with-preamble;preamble-size=0;bit-rate=256000;frame-size-milliseconds=4
Text format
text/plain; charset=utf-8
string
The message that Amazon Lex returns in the response can be either text or speech based on the responseContentType value.
If the value is text/plain;charset=utf-8 , Amazon Lex returns text in the response.
If the value begins with audio/ , Amazon Lex returns speech in the response. Amazon Lex uses Amazon Polly to generate the speech using the configuration that you specified in the requestContentType parameter. For example, if you specify audio/mpeg as the value, Amazon Lex returns speech in the MPEG format.
If the value is audio/pcm , the speech returned is audio/pcm at 16 KHz in 16-bit, little-endian format.
The following are the accepted values:
audio/mpeg
audio/ogg
audio/pcm (16 KHz)
audio/* (defaults to mpeg)
text/plain; charset=utf-8
bytes or seekable file-like object
User input in PCM or Opus audio format or text format as described in the requestContentType parameter.

Response Structure
(dict) --
inputMode (string) --
Indicates whether the input mode to the operation was text or speech.
contentType (string) --
Content type as specified in the responseContentType in the request.
messages (string) --
A list of messages that were last sent to the user. The messages are ordered based on the order that you returned the messages from your Lambda function or the order that the messages are defined in the bot.
interpretations (string) --
A list of intents that Amazon Lex determined might satisfy the user's utterance.
Each interpretation includes the intent, a score that indicates how confident Amazon Lex is that the interpretation is the correct one, and an optional sentiment response that indicates the sentiment expressed in the utterance.
sessionState (string) --
Represents the current state of the dialog between the user and the bot.
Use this to determine the progress of the conversation and what the next action might be.
requestAttributes (string) --
The attributes sent in the request.
sessionId (string) --
The identifier of the session in use.
inputTranscript (string) --
The text used to process the request.
If the input was an audio stream, the inputTranscript field contains the text extracted from the audio stream. This is the text that is actually processed to recognize intents and slot values. You can use this information to determine if Amazon Lex is correctly processing the audio that you send.
audioStream (bytes or seekable file-like object) --
The prompt or statement to send to the user. This is based on the bot configuration and context. For example, if Amazon Lex did not understand the user intent, it sends the clarificationPrompt configured for the bot. If the intent requires confirmation before taking the fulfillment action, it sends the confirmationPrompt . Another example: Suppose that the Lambda function successfully fulfilled the intent, and sent a message to convey to the user. Then Amazon Lex sends that message in the response.
Removes session information for a specified bot, alias, and user ID.
You can use this operation to restart a conversation with a bot. When you remove a session, the entire history of the session is removed so that you can start again.
You don't need to delete a session. Sessions have a time limit and will expire. Set the session time limit when you create the bot. The default is 5 minutes, but you can specify anything between 1 minute and 24 hours.
If you specify a bot or alias ID that doesn't exist, you receive a BadRequestException.
If the locale doesn't exist in the bot, or if the locale hasn't been enables for the alias, you receive a BadRequestException .
