<!-- INTRODUCTION -->
# Introduction

The Python Dialogflow CX Scripting API (DFCX SCRAPI) is a high level API that extends the official Google [Python Client for Dialogflow CX](https://github.com/googleapis/python-dialogflow-cx) which makes using CX easier, more friendly, and more pythonic for bot builders, developers and maintainers.

```
SCRAPI --> Python Dialogflow CX
as
Keras --> Tensorflow
```

## What Can I Do With DFCX SCRAPI?
With DFCX SCRAPI, you can perform many bot building and maintenance actions at scale including, but not limited to:
- Create, Update, Delete, Get, List for all CX resources types (i.e. Intents, Entity Types, Pages, Flows, etc.)
- Convert commonly accessed CX Resources to Pandas Dataframes for data manipulation and analysis
  - Ex: `bulk_intents_to_dataframe` provides you all intents and training phrases in a Pandas DataFrame that can be manipulated and/or exported to CSV or back to CX
- Have fully automated conversations with a CX agent (powerful for regression testing!)
- Extract Validation information to assist in tuning your agent NLU, routes, etc.
- Extract Change History information to assist with Change Management and Accountability for your devlepment team
- Search Util functions to look across all Flows/Pages/Routes to find a specific parameter or utterance you need to locate
- Copy Util functions that allow you to quickly move CX resource between agents!
  - Ex: `copy_intent_to_agent` allows you to choose source and destination Agent IDs and a human readable Intent Display Name and `BAM!` Intent is moved with all training phrases to the destination agent!
- Maker/Builder Util functions that allow you to build the fundamental protobuf objects that CX uses for each resource type
  - Ex: if you want to build a new Intent (or hundreds!) with training phrases from a pandas dataframe, you can build them all offline/in memory using the build_intent method
- ...and much, much more!

## Built With
* Python 3.8+

<!-- GETTING STARTED -->
# Getting Started
## Environment Setup
Set up Google Cloud Platform credentials and install dependencies.
```sh
gcloud auth login
gcloud auth application-default login
gcloud config set project <project name>
```
```sh
python3 -m venv venv
source ./venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Authentication  
In order to use the functions and API calls to Dialogflow CX, you will need a Service Account that has appropriate access to your GCP project.  
For more information on view the official docs for [Creating and Managing GCP Service Accounts](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/creating-managing-service-accounts).

<!-- USAGE EXAMPLES -->
# Usage
To run a simple bit of code you can do the following:
- Import a Class from `dfcx_scrapi.core`
- Assign your Service Account to a local variable

```python
from dfcx_scrapi.core.intents import Intents

creds_path = '<PATH_TO_YOUR_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON_FILE>'
agent_path = '<FULL_DFCX_AGENT_ID_PATH>'

# DFCX Agent ID paths are in this format:
# 'projects/<project_id>/locations/<location_id>/agents/<agent_id>'

# Instantiate your class object and pass in your credentials
i = Intents(creds_path, agent_id=agent_path)

# Retrieve all Intents and Training Phrases from an Agent and push to a Pandas DataFrame
df = i.bulk_intent_to_df()
```

_For more examples, please refer to [Examples](examples/) or [Tools](tools/)._

# Library Composition
A brief overview of the motivation behind the library structure

## Core  
The [Core](core/) folder is synonymous with the core Resource types in the DFCX Agents like:
- agents
- intents
- entity_types
- etc.

The [Core](core/) folder is meant to contain the fundamental building blocks for even higher level customized tools and applications that can be built with this library.

## Tools
The [Tools](tools/) folder contains various customized toolkits that allow you to do more complex bot management tasks.
These include things like:
- Manipulating Agent Resource types into various DataFrame structure for data scienc-y type tasks
- Copying Agent Resources between Agents and GCP Projects on a resource by resource level
- Moving data to and from DFCX and other GCP Services like BigQuery, Sheets, etc.
- Creating customized search queries inside of your agent resources
  - i.e. - Find all parameters in all pages in the agent that contain the string `dtmf`
