LexRuntimeV2 / Client / get_session

get_session

LexRuntimeV2.Client.get_session(**kwargs)

Returns session information for a specified bot, alias, and user.

For example, you can use this operation to retrieve session information for a user that has left a long-running session in use.

If the bot, alias, or session identifier doesn’t exist, Amazon Lex V2 returns a BadRequestException. If the locale doesn’t exist or is not enabled for the alias, you receive a BadRequestException.
