Answer Bot API

Answer Bot API makes it possible for the system to read, infer meaning, and deliver precise answers from large sets of documents with high accuracy.

Uploading Q&A and Documents

Please sign up and sign in to the Alli dashboard first. You must select 'Cognitive Search' for the Project Type when you sign up. Go to the Q&A tab on the dashboard to upload question-answer pairs. If you want to upload unstructured text data such as Word, PDF, Powerpoint, and Excel file, go to the Documents tab in the dashboard and upload the documents.

If you want to automatically sync with your data source, such as MS OneDrive, please go to the Source tab. Uploading the document via API is in the Upload Document section in this page.

Getting the API KEY

Please provide your API key in the request header API-KEY. Your API key can be found in your dashboard Settings menu, under the General tab.

Providing Agent or User Information

For certain endpoints, you can add agent or user information in the request header to specify who makes the call.

Agent information can be provided in the request header AGENT-EMAIL. You can find your agents' email information in your dashboard Settings > Agent menu. Below is an example.

-H 'AGENT-EMAIL: agent_1@email.com'

A user ID can be provided in the request header OWN-USER-ID. The user ID can be either a new one or an existing one, and if a new user ID is provided, Alli will create a new user with that ID. Any future API calls with the same OWN-USER-ID header will be considered as they're from the same user.

If you want to update the user's email address at the same time, you can provide the email address in the request header USER-EMAIL. Below is an example.

-H 'OWN-USER-ID: 5f1234567a409876c082487z' \
-H 'USER-EMAIL: user_1@email.com'

You cannot use non-ASCII characters for OWN-USER-ID. If the user ID includes any non-ASCII characters, you can encode the ID to base64 and use base64:CONVERTED_ID.

You can find saved user ID and email information in your Alli dashboard Customers menu.

Error Messages

Please read the error message you get if you don't get the response that you expected. For example, if you don't use the right HTTP method for the API, you'll get this type of error as response:

{“error”: “Method Not Allowed POST: /webapi/faq_feedbacks”}
