The Skill Engine API is an AI toolkit to solve your skill-related challenges. Our aim is twofold. Firstly, we want to explain how individual components work. Secondly, we want to demonstrate how to assemble these components into a complete use case. This section of the developer portal provides a range of tutorials, showcasing the information flow and API calls needed to bring these scenarios to life. In each tutorial, the two communicating parties are your system and the Skill Engine API. A diagram shows the flow of the requests. For all requests, the message arrow indicates the corresponding method and endpoint. Responses are shown as a dotted line, indicating the HTTP response code. The following image shows an example of a request flow diagram: Keep the following rules in mind when reading sequence diagrams:
  • opt indicates optional operations (e.g. a feedback step).
  • alt indicates scenarios that are alternatives to each other ( e.g. a success and failure scenario).
  • Colours are meaningful: green indicates a success scenario, red indicates a critical failure (which ends the flow immediately), orange indicates a non-critical failure (which means an operation has no effect, but the flow can continue).
  • In more complex setups, only success paths are visible. For a complete overview of the scenarios in those cases, please consult the API spec.
