This question is regarding QnA maker.
When I post a question in chatbot and inspect the answer, I can see the best answer as well as other answers(Observed 3 answeres). But when I request for the same using api
listSearchResults = client.knowledgebase.generate_answer(kb_id, QueryDTO(question = question))
I received only one answer, for my applications I need multiple answers (closest ones too).
How do I get it using api?

Hi, it seems there's no way to specify how many answers to return but you can specify max number of answers to return by adding top in request body, have you tried that?
listSearchResults = client.knowledgebase.generate_answer(kb_id, QueryDTO(question = question,top=3))
It's working. My mistake I tried with Top as I find it some document. I corrected now its working.
Thanks, GiftA-MSFT for your help
