google-assistant-grpc 0.0.1

Installing

• You can install using pip.:

  pip install --upgrade google-assistant-grpc

Authorization

• Follow the steps to configure a Google API Console Project and a Google account to use with the Google Assistant SDK.

• Download the client_secret_XXXXX.json file from the Google API Console Project credentials section and generate credentials using google-oauth-tool.:

  pip install --upgrade google-auth-oauthlib[tool]
  google-oauthlib-tool --client-secrets path/to/client_secret_XXXXX.json --scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/assistant-sdk-prototype --save --headless

• Load the credentials using google.oauth2.credentials.:

  import io
  import google.oauth2.credentials
  
  with io.open('/path/to/credentials.json', 'r') as f:
      credentials = google.oauth2.credentials.Credentials(token=None,
                                                          **json.load(f))

• Initialize the gRPC channel using google.auth.transport.grpc.

Usage

• Initialize the gRPC stubs using google.assistant.embedded.v1alpha1.embedded_assistant_pb2_grpc.:

  import google.assistant.embedded.v1alpha1.embedded_assistant_pb2_grpc
  assistant = embedded_assistant_pb2.EmbeddedAssistantStub(channel)

• Call the Converse streaming method. It takes a generator of ConverseRequest and returns a generator of ConverseResponse.:

  converse_responses_generator = assistant.Converse(converse_requests_generator)
  start_acquiring_audio()

• Send a ConverseRequest message with audio configuration parameters followed by multiple outgoing ConverseRequest messages containing the audio data of the Assistant request.:

  import google.assistant.embedded.v1alpha1.embedded_assistant_pb2
  
  def generate_converse_requests():
      yield embedded_assistant_pb2.ConverseConfig(
          audio_in_config=embedded_assistant_pb2.AudioInConfig(
              encoding='LINEAR16',
              sample_rate_hertz=16000,
          ),
          audio_out_config=embedded_assistant_pb2.AudioOutConfig(
              encoding='LINEAR16',
              sample_rate_hertz=16000,
          ),
      )
      for data in acquire_audio_data():
          yield embedded_assistant_pb2.ConverseRequest(audio_in=data)

• Handle the incoming stream of ConverseResponse messages:

  • Stop recording when receiving a ConverseResponse with the EventType message set to END_OF_UTTERANCE.

  • Get conversation metadata from the stream of ConverseResponse messages. (with the ConverseResult field set).

  • Extract the audio data of the Assistant response from the stream of ConverseResponse messages (with the AudioOut field set).

for converse_response in converse_response_generator:
    if resp.event_type == END_OF_UTTERANCE:
       stop_acquiring_audio()
    if resp.result.spoken_request_text:
       print(resp.result.spoken_request_text)
    if len(resp.audio_out.audio_data) > 0:
       playback_audio_data(resp.audio_out.audio_data)

• gRPC reference sample.

• Google Assistant gRPC API reference.
