google-assistant-grpc 0.2.1.dev1

Installing

• You can install using pip.:

  pip install --upgrade google-assistant-grpc

Authorization

• Follow the steps to configure the Actions Console project and the Google account.

• Follow the steps to register a new device model and download the client secrets file.

• Generate device credentials using google-oauthlib-tool:

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

• Load the device 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 Assist streaming method. It takes a generator of AssistRequest and returns a generator of AssistResponse.:

  assist_responses_generator = assistant.Assist(assist_requests_generator)
  start_acquiring_audio()

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

  import google.assistant.embedded.v1alpha1.embedded_assistant_pb2
  
  def generate_assist_requests():
      yield embedded_assistant_pb2.AssistConfig(
          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,
          ),
          device_config=embedded_assistant_pb2.DeviceConfig(
              device_id=device_id,
              device_model_id=device_model_id,
          )
      )
      for data in acquire_audio_data():
          yield embedded_assistant_pb2.AssistRequest(audio_in=data)

• Handle the incoming stream of AssistResponse messages:

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

  • Get transcription of the user query from the SpeechRecognitionResult field.

  • Get conversation metadata like supplemental display text from the Assistant from the DialogStateOut field.

  • Extract the audio data of the Assistant response from the AudioOut field.

for assist_response in assist_response_generator:
    if resp.event_type == END_OF_UTTERANCE:
       stop_acquiring_audio()
    if resp.speech_results:
       print(' '.join(r.transcript for r in resp.speech_results)
    if resp.dialog_state_out.supplemental_display_text:
       print(resp.dialog_state_out.supplemental_display_text)
    if len(resp.audio_out.audio_data) > 0:
       playback_audio_data(resp.audio_out.audio_data)
