# Dialogflow API . projects . locations . conversations

## Instance Methods

Returns the messages Resource.

Returns the participants Resource.

Close httplib2 connections.

Completes the specified conversation. Finished conversations are purged from the database after 30 days.

Creates a new conversation. Conversations are auto-completed after 24 hours. Conversation Lifecycle: There are two stages during a conversation: Automated Agent Stage and Assist Stage. For Automated Agent Stage, there will be a dialogflow agent responding to user queries. For Assist Stage, there's no dialogflow agent responding to user queries. But we will provide suggestions which are generated from conversation. If Conversation.conversation_profile is configured for a dialogflow agent, conversation will start from `Automated Agent Stage`, otherwise, it will start from `Assist Stage`. And during `Automated Agent Stage`, once an Intent with Intent.live_agent_handoff is triggered, conversation will transfer to Assist Stage.

Retrieves the specific conversation.

Returns the list of all conversations in the specified project.

Retrieves the next page of results.

    Close httplib2 connections.

`complete(name, body=None, x__xgafv=None)`

    Completes the specified conversation. Finished conversations are purged from the database after 30 days.

      conversationId: string, Optional. Identifier of the conversation. Generally it's auto generated by Google. Only set it if you cannot wait for the response to return a auto-generated one to you. The conversation ID must be compliant with the regression fomula "a-zA-Z*" with the characters length in range of [3,64]. If the field is provided, the caller is resposible for 1. the uniqueness of the ID, otherwise the request will be rejected. 2. the consistency for whether to use custom ID or not under a project to better ensure uniqueness.

    Returns the list of all conversations in the specified project.

    Args:
      parent: string, Required. The project from which to list all conversation. Format: `projects//locations/`. (required)
      filter: string, A filter expression that filters conversations listed in the response. In general, the expression must specify the field name, a comparison operator, and the value to use for filtering: - The value must be a string, a number, or a boolean. - The comparison operator must be either `=`,`!=`, `>`, or `<`. - To filter on multiple expressions, separate the expressions with `AND` or `OR` (omitting both implies `AND`). - For clarity, expressions can be enclosed in parentheses. Only `lifecycle_state` can be filtered on in this way. For example, the following expression only returns `COMPLETED` conversations: `lifecycle_state = "COMPLETED"` For more information about filtering, see [API Filtering](https://aip.dev/160).
      pageSize: integer, Optional. The maximum number of items to return in a single page. By default 100 and at most 1000.
