AWS Lex (Models) (version v1.*.*)

create_bot_version#

Creates a new version of the bot based on the $LATEST version. If the $LATEST version of this resource hasn't changed since you created the last version, Amazon Lex doesn't create a new version. It returns the last created version.
You can update only the $LATEST version of the bot. You can't update the numbered versions that you create with the CreateBotVersion operation.
When you create the first version of a bot, Amazon Lex sets the version to 1. Subsequent versions increment by 1. For more information, see versioning-intro.
This operation requires permission for the lex:CreateBotVersion action.

If you don't specify a checksum, Amazon Lex publishes the $LATEST version."
}

create_intent_version#

Creates a new version of an intent based on the $LATEST version of the intent. If the $LATEST version of this intent hasn't changed since you last updated it, Amazon Lex doesn't create a new version. It returns the last version you created.
You can update only the $LATEST version of the intent. You can't update the numbered versions that you create with the CreateIntentVersion operation.
When you create a version of an intent, Amazon Lex sets the version to 1. Subsequent versions increment by 1. For more information, see versioning-intro.

If you don't specify a checksum, Amazon Lex publishes the $LATEST version."
}

create_slot_type_version#

}

delete_bot#

Deletes all versions of the bot, including the $LATEST version. To delete a specific version of the bot, use the DeleteBotVersion operation.
If a bot has an alias, you can't delete it. Instead, the DeleteBot operation returns a ResourceInUseException exception that includes a reference to the alias that refers to the bot. To remove the reference to the bot, delete the alias. If you get the same exception again, delete the referring alias until the DeleteBot operation is successful.
This operation requires permissions for the lex:DeleteBot action.

You can delete a version of an intent only if it is not referenced. To delete an intent that is referred to in one or more bots (see how-it-works), you must remove those references first.
If you get the ResourceInUseException exception, it provides an example reference that shows where the intent is referenced. To remove the reference to the intent, either update the bot or delete it.

put_bot#

Creates an Amazon Lex conversational bot or replaces an existing bot. When you create or update a bot you are only required to specify a name, a locale, and whether the bot is directed toward children under age 13. You can use this to add intents later, or to remove intents from an existing bot. When you create a bot with the minimum information, the bot is created or updated but Amazon Lex returns the response FAILED. You can build the bot after you add one or more intents. For more information about Amazon Lex bots, see how-it-works.
If you specify the name of an existing bot, the fields in the request replace the existing values in the $LATEST version of the bot. Amazon Lex removes any fields that you don't provide values for in the request, except for the idleTTLInSeconds and privacySettings fields, which are set to their default values. If you don't specify values for required fields, Amazon Lex throws an exception.
This operation requires permissions for the lex:PutBot action. For more information, see auth-and-access-control.

"description" : "A description of the alias.",
"botVersion" : "The version of the bot."
}

put_intent#

Creates an intent or replaces an existing intent.
To define the interaction between the user and your bot, you use one or more intents. For a pizza ordering bot, for example, you would create an OrderPizza intent.
To create an intent or replace an existing intent, you must provide the following:
Intent name. For example, OrderPizza.
Sample utterances. For example, "Can I order a pizza, please." and "I want to order a pizza."
Information to be gathered. You specify slot types for the information that your bot will request from the user. You can specify standard slot types, such as a date or a time, or custom slot types such as the size and crust of a pizza.
How the intent will be fulfilled. You can provide a Lambda function or configure the intent to return the intent information to the client application. If you use a Lambda function, when all of the intent information is available, Amazon Lex invokes your Lambda function. If you configure your intent to return the intent information to the client application.
You can specify other optional information in the request, such as:
A confirmation prompt to ask the user to confirm an intent. For example, "Shall I order your pizza?"
A conclusion statement to send to the user after the intent has been fulfilled. For example, "I placed your pizza order."
A follow-up prompt that asks the user for additional activity. For example, asking "Do you want to order a drink with your pizza?"
If you specify an existing intent name to update the intent, Amazon Lex replaces the values in the $LATEST version of the intent with the values in the request. Amazon Lex removes fields that you don't provide in the request. If you don't specify the required fields, Amazon Lex throws an exception. When you update the $LATEST version of an intent, the status field of any bot that uses the $LATEST version of the intent is set to NOT_BUILT.
For more information, see how-it-works.
This operation requires permissions for the lex:PutIntent action.

Parameters

name (required)#

The name of the intent. The name is not case sensitive.
The name can't match a built-in intent name, or a built-in intent name with "AMAZON." removed. For example, because there is a built-in intent called AMAZON.HelpIntent, you can't create a custom intent called HelpIntent.
For a list of built-in intents, see Standard Built-in Intents in the Alexa Skills Kit.

put_slot_type#

Creates a custom slot type or replaces an existing custom slot type.
To create a custom slot type, specify a name for the slot type and a set of enumeration values, which are the values that a slot of this type can assume. For more information, see how-it-works.
If you specify the name of an existing slot type, the fields in the request replace the existing values in the $LATEST version of the slot type. Amazon Lex removes the fields that you don't provide in the request. If you don't specify required fields, Amazon Lex throws an exception. When you update the $LATEST version of a slot type, if a bot uses the $LATEST version of an intent that contains the slot type, the bot's status field is set to NOT_BUILT.
This operation requires permissions for the lex:PutSlotType action.

Parameters

name (required)#

The name of the slot type. The name is not case sensitive.
The name can't match a built-in slot type name, or a built-in slot type name with "AMAZON." removed. For example, because there is a built-in slot type called AMAZON.DATE, you can't create a custom slot type called DATE.
For a list of built-in slot types, see Slot Type Reference in the Alexa Skills Kit.

start_import#

Starts a job to import a resource to Amazon Lex.

Parameters

$body#

Type: object

{
"payload" : "A zip archive in binary format. The archive should contain one file, a JSON file containing the resource to import. The resource should match the type specified in the resourceType field.",
"mergeStrategy" : "Specifies the action that the StartImport operation should take when there is an existing resource with the same name. \n FAIL_ON_CONFLICT - The import operation is stopped on the first conflict between a resource in the import file and an existing resource.

"resourceType" : "Specifies the type of resource to export. Each resource also exports any resources that it depends on. \n A bot exports dependent intents. \n An intent exports dependent slot types. "
