Actions On Google NodeJS v2 alpha: isRequestFromDialogflow function moved? - actions-on-google

I'm trying to migrate my cloud function from v1 to v2 (nodejs alpha), the command 'app.isRequestFromDialogflow()' no longer works, was this replaced with another function in the alpha version?
Error I'm getting:
TypeError: app.isRequestFromDialogflow is not a function
Do we no longer need to verify that the source of webhook requests is Dialogflow?
Edit: https://dialogflow.com/docs/reference/v2-auth-setup Ok, so it's handled automatically in v2?
Cheers.

Update
Now that the v2 library has been released, the verification property API is stable and now throws a 403 status by default but is customizable. The reference docs for the verification field are here.
Original Answer
In the v2 alpha (which functionality can change based on feedback), this is currently implemented with the verification property in the options object when creating the cross conversational app instance by calling the dialogflow function.
Here's an example:
const app = dialogflow({
verification: {
HEADER_KEY: 'HEADER_VALUE',
},
})
The verification property accepts a JavaScript object with the keys being the Header keys and the values being the Header values to verify it comes from Dialogflow which you had set in the Dialogflow Console Webhook Fulfillment page.
The page you linked is about authentication for the general Dialogflow v2 API, not the webhook fulfillment. That's for if you want to get or manipulate the configured intents and entities in Dialogflow itself not to fulfill a user request.

Provide array of URNs to LinkedIn REST API?

I am using the LinkedIn Marketing Development Platform where I am trying to provide a list of company URNs to to the Ad Analytics API. However, when I try to provide a list of company URNs, it fails with status 400.
Analytics Finder endpoint docs
My request:
GET https://api.linkedin.com/v2/adAnalyticsV2?q=analytics&pivot=CAMPAIGN&dateRange.start.day=1&dateRange.start.month=1&dateRange.start.year=2017&timeGranularity=ALL&companies=urn:li:organization:1234,urn:li:organization:5678
Response:
{"message":"Array parameter 'companies' value 'urn:li:organization:1234,urn:li:organization:5678' is invalid. Reason: Deserializing output 'urn:li:organization:1234,urn:li:organization:5678' failed","status":400}
I have also tried URL encoding the URL, and providing the list via the parameter companies[0] as is done in other examples in the docs.
What is the correct way to input arrays to the LinkedIn API?
Edit: Changed accounts to companies
So the Protocol Version actually gave me some useful insight. There are a couple of ways of providing arrays in parameters.
From the docs:
For Restli V1.0 (used by default)
GET GET https://api.linkedin.com/people?ids=1&ids=2&ids=3
For Restli V2.0, which you can use by setting the following header: X-RestLi-Protocol-Version: 2.0.0
Pass parameters in List format.
GET https://api.linkedin.com/v2/people?ids=List(1,2,3,4)
However, I have not managed to get the Analytics Finder API to work with Restli V2.0.
You'll need to provide the list of URL encoded organization URNs to the accounts param. Using your request as an example:
&accounts=List(urn%3Ali%3Aorganization%3A1234,urn%3Ali%3Aorganization%3A5678)

Is there a way to define input context for a Google Action with the Actions SDK?

In the DialogFlow console, you can set an input and output context for an intent.
I would like to have the same functionality using the Actions SDK.
Since I can set the context in my fullfilment webhook in the code, the output SDK is covered.
However, how do I set the input context for an intent to only trigger if that context was fetched?
I could not find this in the documentation examples.
I don't believe you can in the same way, which is part of why they added Dialogflow.
Although as part of your response you can indicate the ExpectedInput for the next Intent, the documentation for the ExpectedIntent makes it clear that your Intents are only used for speech biasing - you'll always get the built-in TEXT Intent.
In fact, this documentation says that you'll only get custom Intents for the initial call - later Intents are always triggered with a built-in one.
Update: One thing you can do is to include information in the response that will be sent back to you in the next request.
If you're using the JavaScript SDK, this is done with the second parameter to ask() and is available via the getDialogState() function.
If you're sending back JSON, this is done using the conversationToken attribute and is available in conversation.conversationToken in the request object you're sent the next round.

Actions on Google not passing parameters

I'm using Dialogflow (previously API.ai) to create an Actions on Google app.
Using Dialogflow I have set up a custom Entity to highlight single words from multiple Intents.
ie. mashable, recode, bbc sport are all words picked up as Entities.
The fulfilment sends a post webhook to an api I created.
When using Dialogflow it sends off
"parameters": {
"news-agent": "BBC Sport"
},
Which is fine, I set up API to detect the parameter and when using Actions on Google simulator
"parameters": {
"news-agent": ""
},
The parameter is blank, I don't see anything in the documentation about why this is happening.
Could someone help?
It's possible that Actions on Google is not picking up a value for the "news-agent" slot.
Try making the "news-agent" slot required in Dialogflow and define a re-prompt question for it.
That way, the event won't be sent to your app unless the "news-agent" slot is filled.

Facebook login with Azure Service and get user info error

I've implemented facebook login following this blog https://ahoycoders.com/2015/07/09/xamarin-forms-social-authentication-with-azure-mobile-services-part-3/
That blog is based on old Azure portal.
But, I'm using new Azure portal.
1. In the new Azure portal I used Easy APIs option for creating custom API as mentioned in the blog.
2. I copied the scrip mentioned in the blog for my custom API and I'm using only Facebook.
I authenticated via Facebook and then called the following,
return await mobileService.InvokeApiAsync("getextrauserinfo", HttpMethod.Get, null);
Unfortunately, I'm getting the following error,
"Cannot read property 'getIdentities' of undefined"
I don't know what's wrong, please help me in fixing this.
currentUser is no longer obtained from request as .user, it is now request.azureMobile.user
They changed the method calls. It is also no longer getIdentities.
Its getIdentity.
A few other calls slightly changed as well.
I suggest anyone wanting to use that guide use console.log to see what each object actually returns and then switch out the old code for the right call.
Logic in that example should still be fine, just slightly different calls/names.

IFTTT recipe api - is there documentation to create recipe using API call

I have already created triggers and actions for IFTTT channel. Now I want to create a recipe using these triggers and actions, but I want to do it not through Maker, but using an API call. What would be the format of the API call (behind Maker UI) to create a recipe, I am seems to unable to see any documentation or examples?
Click the URL in your maker settings to see IFTTT's description, which reads as follows, and shows your individual API key which must be used in your code:
To trigger an Event Make a POST or GET web request to:
https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/{event}/with/key/tIpcUAlqRkf8Mls9XepGN
With an optional JSON body of:
{ "value1" : "", "value2" : "", "value3" : "" }
The data is completely optional, and you can also
pass value1, value2, and value3 as query parameters or form variables.
This content will be passed on to the Action in your Recipe. You can
also try it with curl from a command line.
curl -X POST https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/{event}/with/key/tIpcUAlqRkf8Mls9XepGN
Yes. There is a documentation for create / triggers and actions.
You need to create the API from your server like that:
http://api.test.com:8080/ifttt/v1/triggers/{{triggers}}
More information:
Login: https://developers.ifttt.com/channels/t4/triggers
Click triggers in left menu
Create trigger name
Then as the endpoint you need to give your api url.
There is no public API. With old-type call there is internal API you can see REST calls like create/api/state whilst building a recipe, yet it might be protected from use by third party and I did not check the traffic of new applet maker platform. Note, if you are a partner you can embed your recipes into your apps. Upper tier customers are allowed to request new features (such as API or templates).
I was looking for the same, but after wasting hours, NO LUCK. So, I have decided to create one. This might be too late, but here's one repo of IFTTT boilerplate (https://github.com/Dipen-Dedania/ifttt-boilerplate) using NodeJS and express to create your own recipe (custom triggers and actions)
