How can I dynamically create intents and entities in Azure Conversational Language Understanding (CLU) using the REST API?

Question

I am working with Azure CLU and would like to programmatically create new intents and entities (including closed list entities) using the REST API from my application. Is it possible to add or update intents and entities dynamically via the Authoring API? If so, could you provide example API endpoints or sample request bodies for creating an intent and a closed list entity? Are there any additional steps required (such as retraining or redeploying the model) after making these changes?

Hi there Pavithra N

Thanks for using QandA platform

YUP, you can dynamically create intents and entities in Azure CLU using the Authoring REST API.

Key API Endpoints (Authoring API v2023-04-01-preview)

Create Intent: POST /authoring/analyze-conversations/projects/{projectName}/intents

Create Entity: POST /authoring/analyze-conversations/projects/{projectName}/entities

Create Closed List Entity: POST /authoring/analyze-conversations/projects/{projectName}/entities/closedLists

After changing After adding or modifying intents/entities:

Train and deploy tyhe project

POST /authoring/analyze-conversations/projects/{projectName}/train

POST /authoring/analyze-conversations/projects/{projectName}/deployments/{deploymentName}

If this helps kindly accept the answer thanks much.
