Overview

The config file located at config/personality-insights.php contains all the package's configurations. You can explore this file to get a sense of what is configurable.

'default_credentials' => env('PERSONALITY_INSIGHTS_DEFAULT_CREDENTIALS', 'default'),

Credentials

The credentials key contains an array of Watson Service Credentials. A sensible default credential has been defined for you.

'credentials' => [

        'default' => [
            'url'      => env('PERSONALITY_INSIGHTS_URL', 'https://gateway.watsonplatform.net/personality-insights/api/'),
            'password' => env('PERSONALITY_INSIGHTS_PASSWORD', 'SomePassword'),
            'username' => env('PERSONALITY_INSIGHTS_USERNAME', 'SomeUsername'),
        ],

 ],

The default credential is the one used for all communication with Watson.

Feel free to add as many credentials as needed. You can then use defined credentials by specifying them when making API calls.

'api_version' => env('PERSONALITY_INSIGHTS_API_VERSION', 'v3'),

By default, Watson collects data from all requests and uses the data to improve the service. If you do not want to share your data, set this value to true.

You can cache the insights retrieved so that you can reduce number of calls made to Watson. Set cache_on to true

'cache_on' => env('PERSONALITY_INSIGHTS_CACHE', false),

You can also specify the number of minutes the cache will stay active

'cache_expiration' => 60
