The assistant instance is create. Now, select on View API Details<\/strong><\/em> and store somewhere the Assistant ID<\/strong><\/em>, the Assistant URL<\/strong><\/em> and the Password<\/strong> <\/em>of the Service Credentials. We will need to use them in our Python Script.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/letoon-lg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/WAPython01-06-1024x490.png\")

Watson Assistant API call in Python<\/h1>\n
And now, let’s come back to Eclipse, create a PyDev project, add a Python file named assistant.py<\/strong><\/em> and enter the following code, by replacing YOUR_API_KEY<\/strong><\/em> and YOUR_ASSISTANT_ID<\/strong><\/em> by yours, previously seen on your Bluemix console.<\/p>\nfrom __future__ import print_function<\/span><\/em>
