Actions on Google API v2 using c# webhook

Question

I currently have an app running on actions on google using API.AI. I have modified all the response members to be camelCase as suggested and got it working. Now I am trying to return a basic card, but I can not figure out how to properly return it.

Does anyone have the most basic JSON response, returning a basic card to the Google assistant?

currently, the most basic v2 API response I can have is the following:

{
    speech: "",
    displayText: "",
    data: {
        google: {
            expectUserResponse: true,
            isSsml: true,
            permissionsRequest: null
        }
    },
    contextOut: [ ],
    source: "webhook"
}

What error message are you getting when you try to return a basic card? Can you show the JSON you were using to return the card? — Prisoner, May 26 '17 at 04:16

I have some Gists showing the JSON responses here.

Right now, it includes Lists, Basic Card and Carousel, but I will add Transactions hopefully soon. Hope it might help somehow

Hi, Any idea on how to parse responses from JSON file instead of writing actual `nodejs` code? – Hamid Bazargani May 29 '17 at 05:55
Hi, I'm no C# developer (doing the stuff in Java using Jackson), so I can't really tell you what the best practice for C# is, but maybe checkout https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6620165/how-can-i-parse-json-with-c – Nico Strebel May 29 '17 at 08:22
Thanks. I am aware of parsing JSON. I thought there should be a native (built-in) method for creating RichResponses from JSON. – Hamid Bazargani May 29 '17 at 14:47

This is what I use for Voice Tic Tac Toe

"google": {
      "expect_user_response": true,
      "rich_response": {
        "items": [
          {
           "simple_response": {
              "text_to_speech": "Your move was top. I moved left"
            }
          },
          {
            "basic_card": {
              "image": {
                "url": "https://server/010200000.png",
                "accessibility_text": "Tic Tac Toe game board"
              }
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    }

I ran the facts about google action and looked at the fulfillment JSON output to learn how to do this.

Thanks, this is what i need! – NiteLordz May 26 '17 at 18:08
Cool, the API interface is a bit different than using Google home directly. NiteLordz Can you mark this answer as the accepted answer? – SysCoder May 27 '17 at 04:13

Note that all responses must include at least one, and no more than two, simple_response items.
