### Method Details

`batchCreate(parent, body=None, x__xgafv=None)`

    Creates multiple new entities in the specified entity type. Operation

    Args:
      parent: string, Required. The name of the entity type to create entities in. Supported formats: - `projects//agent/entityTypes/` - `projects//locations//agent/entityTypes/` (required)
      body: object, The request body.
        The object takes the form of:

    { # The request message for EntityTypes.BatchCreateEntities.
        "languageCode": "A String", # Optional. The language used to access language-specific data. If not specified, the agent's default language is used. For more information, see [Multilingual intent and entity data](https://cloud.google.com/dialogflow/docs/agents-multilingual#intent-entity).
        "entities": [ # Required. The entities to create.
          { # An **entity entry** for an associated entity type.
            "synonyms": [ # Required. A collection of value synonyms. For example, if the entity type is *vegetable*, and `value` is *scallions*, a synonym could be *green onions*. For `KIND_LIST` entity types: * This collection must contain exactly one synonym equal to `value`.
              "A String",
            ],
            "value": "A String", # Required. The primary value associated with this entity entry. For example, if the entity type is *vegetable*, the value could be *scallions*. For `KIND_MAP` entity types: * A reference value to be used in place of synonyms. For `KIND_LIST` entity types: * A string that can contain references to other entity types (with or without aliases).
          },
        ],
      }
