You can't do this - Dialogflow needs a public HTTPS server to access.

Fortunately, you can use a tool such as ngrok, which will create a tunnel between your machine and a public host name/address. You run ngrok on your localhost and tell it what local port your server is on. It will display a hostname that you can plug into Dialogflow. As long as you keep ngrok running locally, you'll have that address.
