Rest API Released

We have released a REST API, now anybody using any language / platform can integrate with Alabot

You can now use the API for two purposes:-

• Using a service already provided by Alabot , you can forward an user message to Alabot and he would process the message , map it to the appropriate service and respond.

• In another case you might just want Alabot to do an NLP analysis , for example, you might have business API hosted at your end and want to use Alabot process user messages and get all the parameters required for an API call, for example lets consider a travel domain example , where user requests for a ticket …

• user : I wnt 1 tickt from new york to lndn on 26 mrch - alabot can do an NLP analysis and return the output that you can call your backend or GDS

• Alabot response after NLP analysis : RestApiCall:{montht=march, sourceCity=new york, dayt=26, adultst=1, destCity=london}

• Example :

http://alabot-api-srver-here/api/msg=userMsgHere

&key=PutYourApiACcessKeyHere&clientid=PutYourClientIDHere

Pl refer to REST API documentation for details: Rest API Documentation

You will need an API access key for making REST calls also an server side configuration if service requested is new or unique to your company

• Please write a email to info@alabot.com stating your requirements , about your company and estimated /maximum number of API calls in a day
• Or just fill out Solution request form

Who is this service for?

Some suggestions from our side based on customer feedback:-

• Mobile VAS Providers/Telecom /SMS aggregators , : They want to use Alabot or AI / NLP module for service discovery and NLP analysis . User SMS or WAP messages are forwarded to alabot where he analyzes text, maps it to the service and then does NLP analysis OR opens an interactive session with user if more information is required.
