Example of chatbot using Tock and open data APIs.

How to start

Two options available:

Use a complete docker installation

The setup is explained in the Tock docker project

Or run the code in the IDE

• Start the docker-compose file for the NLP stack (explained here)

• You will need a (free) SNCF Open Data key and a Messenger application (look at the Facebook documentation).

• Set the right environment variables (see OpenDataConfiguration)

• Also a secure ssl tunnel (for example ngrok) is required to test the bot directly on your desktop:

    ngrok http 8080

• Then run the fr.vsct.tock.bot.open.data.Start.kt class

• Take the ngrok value (ie https://xxxx.ngrok.io ) and use it in the webhook interface of messenger settings, to specify :

  • the url : https://xxxx.ngrok.io/messenger
  • the verify token you set in tock_bot_open_data_webhook_verify_token env var
