Amazon Lex Runtime Service¶

Description¶

Amazon Lex provides both build and runtime endpoints. Each endpoint provides a set of operations (API). Your conversational bot uses the runtime API to understand user utterances (user input text or voice). For example, suppose a user says "I want pizza", your bot sends this input to Amazon Lex using the runtime API. Amazon Lex recognizes that the user request is for the OrderPizza intent (one of the intents defined in the bot). Then Amazon Lex engages in user conversation on behalf of the bot to elicit required information (slot values, such as pizza size and crust type), and then performs fulfillment activity (that you configured when you created the bot). You use the build-time API to create and manage your Amazon Lex bot. For a list of build-time operations, see the build-time API, .

Usage¶

lexruntimeservice(
  config = list(),
  credentials = list(),
  endpoint = NULL,
  region = NULL
)

Arguments¶

• config

  Optional configuration of credentials, endpoint, and/or region.

  • credentials:
    • creds:
      • access_key_id: AWS access key ID
      • secret_access_key: AWS secret access key
      • session_token: AWS temporary session token
    • profile: The name of a profile to use. If not given, then the default profile is used.
    • anonymous: Set anonymous credentials.
  • endpoint: The complete URL to use for the constructed client.
  • region: The AWS Region used in instantiating the client.
  • close_connection: Immediately close all HTTP connections.
  • timeout: The time in seconds till a timeout exception is thrown when attempting to make a connection. The default is 60 seconds.
  • s3_force_path_style: Set this to true to force the request to use path-style addressing, i.e. http://s3.amazonaws.com/BUCKET/KEY.
  • sts_regional_endpoint: Set sts regional endpoint resolver to regional or legacy https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/feature-sts-regionalized-endpoints.html
  • use_dual_stack: Set this to true to use the dualstack (IPv4 and IPv6) endpoint for a service, where available, falling back to the regular endpoint when it isn't. Defaults to the AWS_USE_DUALSTACK_ENDPOINT environment variable when unset.

• credentials

  Optional credentials shorthand for the config parameter

  • creds:
    • access_key_id: AWS access key ID
    • secret_access_key: AWS secret access key
    • session_token: AWS temporary session token
  • profile: The name of a profile to use. If not given, then the default profile is used.
  • anonymous: Set anonymous credentials.

• endpoint

  Optional shorthand for complete URL to use for the constructed client.

• region

  Optional shorthand for AWS Region used in instantiating the client.

Value¶

A client for the service. You can call the service's operations using syntax like svc$operation(...), where svc is the name you've assigned to the client. The available operations are listed in the Operations section.
