Create dialogflow agent programmatically

Question

Is there a way to programmatically create a new dialogflow agent programmatically?

I've done gcloud projects create [name] followed by gcloud services enable dialogflow.googleapis.com

I assumed this would be enough to use the projects.agent.import API but the API is giving an error:

Dialogflow API has not been used in project {REDACTED} before or it is disabled. Enable it by visiting https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/dialogflow.googleapis.com/overview?project={REDACTED} then retry.

Is there really no way to spin up a new project without interacting with the dialogflow console?

Answer 1

According to new release you can now create agents with Rest API,

Answer 2

You can now create and update agents with the API. See the REST and RPC documentation.

Answer 3

Unfortunately you can't create any agent directly from their dashboard, though if you can pass the api which can fetch the agent creation function then might be its been possible. It might be tough at the beginning and not sure whether google will approve it or not as they offer the integration only at the end to deliver the service.

Answer 4

If you check the v2 API documentation, you won't find any create method for projects.agent.

What you are doing is to create a new project. You should first assign the Dialogflow API to the project in Google Cloud Platform.
