Can I create an IBM Watson Conversation client application in Javascript without using Node.js?

Can I create an IBM Watson Conversation client application in Javascript without using Node.js? The ERP software that I'm working in does not allow usage of Node.js. What would a POST request to Watson look like in plain javascript? I see that I need some user/pass credentials, the POST URL. But how do I send the Watson service data? What does the data object need to look like? All the API documentation is using Node.

As long as you have some way of running javascript on the server you can make a request to IBM Watson with javascript since POST requests to Watson have to be run server side using a proxy.

There is a java sdk for this. As well as Java listed in the API reference. API ref: https://www.ibm.com/watson/developercloud/assistant/api/v1/java.html?java SDK: https://github.com/watson-developer-cloud/java-sdk/tree/master/assistant

I believe you can if you follow the CURL documentation here: https://www.ibm.com/watson/developercloud/assistant/api/v1/curl.html?curl#message

curl -X POST -u "{username}":"{password}" --header "Content-Type:application/json" -- 
data "{\"input\": {\"text\": \"Hello\"}}" 
"https://gateway.watsonplatform.net/assistant/api/v1/workspaces/9978a49e-ea89-4493- 
b33d-82298d3db20d/message?version=2018-07-10"

In the following request make sure you provide the context JSON that is returned in the response to the previous request This is an example of the (first) response

{
  "intents" : [ {
    "intent" : "hello",
    "confidence" : 0.9755029201507568
  } ],
  "entities" : [ ],
  "input" : {
    "text" : "Hello"
  },
  "output" : {
    "generic" : [ {
      "response_type" : "text",
      "text" : "Hello! What can I do for you?"
    } ],
    "text" : [ "Hello! What can I do for you?" ],
    "nodes_visited" : [ "greeting" ],
    "log_messages" : [ ]
  },
  "context" : {
    "conversation_id" : "a96ec62f-773c-4e84-8be9-f9dbca9f83d0",
    "system" : {
      "dialog_stack" : [ {
        "dialog_node" : "root"
      } ],
      "dialog_turn_counter" : 1,
      "dialog_request_counter" : 1,
      "_node_output_map" : {
        "greeting" : {
          "0" : [ 0, 0 ]
        }
      },
      "branch_exited" : true,
      "branch_exited_reason" : "completed"
    }
  }
}
