I was just fiddling around different machine learning platforms and was planing to use Google predictive API for creating predictive chat bot.

The issue that I am facing now is each request to the API requires OAuth authentication. The fact that I will not be able to authenticate requests for processing the text entered by a client is the real concern. How will I probably respond to a text entered in the chat by a guest user in real time? Is it possible or is Google predictive API not made for this use case?

I am following Prediction API Quick Start Guide by Google and using POST MAN for making API calls.
If possible, please guide me using references or code snippet.

You can create service accounts in place of OAuth authentication tokens. You can create these through the Google Cloud Console. It will then give you the ability to create a server to server (Google) auth that you can use to interact with the API.

  • document reads "A service account is a special account that can be used by services and applications running on your Google Compute Engine instance to interact with other Google Cloud Platform APIs". So technically i would be able to use this if and only if my site resides in a google cloud instance, if i am not getting it wrong ? – Karthik Thayyil Apr 10 '17 at 18:59
  • You can use any infrastructure you want. The service account's credentials allow you to access the service. – Steven Lu Apr 10 '17 at 22:06
