EntityTypesClient(
transport=None,
channel=None,
credentials=None,
client_config=None,
client_info=None,
client_options=None,
)
Entities are extracted from user input and represent parameters that are meaningful to your application. For example, a date range, a proper name such as a geographic location or landmark, and so on. Entities represent actionable data for your application.
When you define an entity, you can also include synonyms that all map to that entity. For example, "soft drink", "soda", "pop", and so on.
There are three types of entities:
System - entities that are defined by the Dialogflow API for common data types such as date, time, currency, and so on. A system entity is represented by the
EntityType
type.Developer - entities that are defined by you that represent actionable data that is meaningful to your application. For example, you could define a
pizza.sauce
entity for red or white pizza sauce, apizza.cheese
entity for the different types of cheese on a pizza, apizza.topping
entity for different toppings, and so on. A developer entity is represented by theEntityType
type.User - entities that are built for an individual user such as favorites, preferences, playlists, and so on. A user entity is represented by the
SessionEntityType
type.
For more information about entity types, see the Dialogflow
documentation <https://cloud.google.com/dialogflow/docs/entities-overview>
