- Create backend/services/image_storage.py with 4 core functions:
- sanitize_filename(): remove unsafe chars, limit to 255 chars, convert to lowercase
- get_unique_filename(): handle collisions with UUID suffix (format: {name}_{uuid8}_{variant}.jpg)
- ensure_image_directories(): create /images/ root and category subdirs on startup
- save_image(): save bytes to /images/{category}/{filename}, returns relative path
- Create comprehensive test suite (22 tests) covering all functionality
- Integrate ensure_image_directories() into FastAPI startup event
- Directory structure: /images/{category}/{filename}
- Collision handling: auto-suffix with UUID if filename exists
- All tests passing, pathlib.Path for safe operations

|
|
|
|
Google Gen AI Python SDK provides an interface for developers to integrate
|
|
Google's generative models into their Python applications. It supports the
|
|
[Gemini Developer API](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs) and
|
|
[Vertex AI](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/learn/overview)
|
|
APIs.
|
|
|
|
## Code Generation
|
|
|
|
Generative models are often unaware of recent API and SDK updates and may suggest outdated or legacy code.
|
|
|
|
We recommend using our Code Generation instructions [`codegen_instructions.md`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/googleapis/python-genai/refs/heads/main/codegen_instructions.md) when generating Google Gen AI SDK code to guide your model towards using the more recent SDK features. Copy and paste the instructions into your development environment to provide the model with the necessary context.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pip install google-genai
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<small>With `uv`:</small>
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
uv pip install google-genai
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Imports
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google import genai
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Create a client
|
|
|
|
Please run one of the following code blocks to create a client for
|
|
different services ([Gemini Developer API](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs) or [Vertex AI](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/learn/overview)).
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google import genai
|
|
|
|
# Only run this block for Gemini Developer API
|
|
client = genai.Client(api_key='GEMINI_API_KEY')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google import genai
|
|
|
|
# Only run this block for Vertex AI API
|
|
client = genai.Client(
|
|
vertexai=True, project='your-project-id', location='us-central1'
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Using types
|
|
|
|
All API methods support Pydantic types and dictionaries, which you can access
|
|
from `google.genai.types`. You can import the types module with the following:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Below is an example `generate_content()` call using types from the types module:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
response = client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
contents=types.Part.from_text(text='Why is the sky blue?'),
|
|
config=types.GenerateContentConfig(
|
|
temperature=0,
|
|
top_p=0.95,
|
|
top_k=20,
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can accomplish the same request using dictionaries instead of
|
|
types:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
response = client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
contents={'text': 'Why is the sky blue?'},
|
|
config={
|
|
'temperature': 0,
|
|
'top_p': 0.95,
|
|
'top_k': 20,
|
|
},
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**(Optional) Using environment variables:**
|
|
|
|
You can create a client by configuring the necessary environment variables.
|
|
Configuration setup instructions depends on whether you're using the Gemini
|
|
Developer API or the Gemini API in Vertex AI.
|
|
|
|
**Gemini Developer API:** Set the `GEMINI_API_KEY` or `GOOGLE_API_KEY`.
|
|
It will automatically be picked up by the client. It's recommended that you
|
|
set only one of those variables, but if both are set, `GOOGLE_API_KEY` takes
|
|
precedence.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export GEMINI_API_KEY='your-api-key'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Gemini API on Vertex AI:** Set `GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI`,
|
|
`GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` and `GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION`, as shown below:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI=true
|
|
export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT='your-project-id'
|
|
export GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION='us-central1'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google import genai
|
|
|
|
client = genai.Client()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Close a client
|
|
|
|
Explicitly close the sync client to ensure that resources, such as the
|
|
underlying HTTP connections, are properly cleaned up and closed.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import Client
|
|
|
|
client = Client()
|
|
response_1 = client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model=MODEL_ID,
|
|
contents='Hello',
|
|
)
|
|
response_2 = client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model=MODEL_ID,
|
|
contents='Ask a question',
|
|
)
|
|
# Close the sync client to release resources.
|
|
client.close()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To explicitly close the async client:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import Client
|
|
|
|
aclient = Client(
|
|
vertexai=True, project='my-project-id', location='us-central1'
|
|
).aio
|
|
response_1 = await aclient.models.generate_content(
|
|
model=MODEL_ID,
|
|
contents='Hello',
|
|
)
|
|
response_2 = await aclient.models.generate_content(
|
|
model=MODEL_ID,
|
|
contents='Ask a question',
|
|
)
|
|
# Close the async client to release resources.
|
|
await aclient.aclose()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Client context managers
|
|
|
|
By using the sync client context manager, it will close the underlying
|
|
sync client when exiting the with block and avoid httpx "client has been closed" error like [issues#1763](https://github.com/googleapis/python-genai/issues/1763).
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import Client
|
|
|
|
with Client() as client:
|
|
response_1 = client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model=MODEL_ID,
|
|
contents='Hello',
|
|
)
|
|
response_2 = client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model=MODEL_ID,
|
|
contents='Ask a question',
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By using the async client context manager, it will close the underlying
|
|
async client when exiting the with block.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import Client
|
|
|
|
async with Client().aio as aclient:
|
|
response_1 = await aclient.models.generate_content(
|
|
model=MODEL_ID,
|
|
contents='Hello',
|
|
)
|
|
response_2 = await aclient.models.generate_content(
|
|
model=MODEL_ID,
|
|
contents='Ask a question',
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### API Selection
|
|
|
|
By default, the SDK uses the beta API endpoints provided by Google to support
|
|
preview features in the APIs. The stable API endpoints can be selected by
|
|
setting the API version to `v1`.
|
|
|
|
To set the API version use `http_options`. For example, to set the API version
|
|
to `v1` for Vertex AI:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google import genai
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
client = genai.Client(
|
|
vertexai=True,
|
|
project='your-project-id',
|
|
location='us-central1',
|
|
http_options=types.HttpOptions(api_version='v1')
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To set the API version to `v1alpha` for the Gemini Developer API:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google import genai
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
client = genai.Client(
|
|
api_key='GEMINI_API_KEY',
|
|
http_options=types.HttpOptions(api_version='v1alpha')
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Faster async client option: Aiohttp
|
|
|
|
By default we use httpx for both sync and async client implementations. In order
|
|
to have faster performance, you may install `google-genai[aiohttp]`. In Gen AI
|
|
SDK we configure `trust_env=True` to match with the default behavior of httpx.
|
|
Additional args of `aiohttp.ClientSession.request()` ([see `_RequestOptions` args](https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/blob/v3.12.13/aiohttp/client.py#L170)) can be passed
|
|
through the following way:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
http_options = types.HttpOptions(
|
|
async_client_args={'cookies': ..., 'ssl': ...},
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
client=Client(..., http_options=http_options)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Proxy
|
|
|
|
Both httpx and aiohttp libraries use `urllib.request.getproxies` from
|
|
environment variables. Before client initialization, you may set proxy (and
|
|
optional `SSL_CERT_FILE`) by setting the environment variables:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export HTTPS_PROXY='http://username:password@proxy_uri:port'
|
|
export SSL_CERT_FILE='client.pem'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you need `socks5` proxy, httpx [supports](https://www.python-httpx.org/advanced/proxies/#socks) `socks5` proxy if you pass it via
|
|
args to `httpx.Client()`. You may install `httpx[socks]` to use it.
|
|
Then, you can pass it through the following way:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
http_options = types.HttpOptions(
|
|
client_args={'proxy': 'socks5://user:pass@host:port'},
|
|
async_client_args={'proxy': 'socks5://user:pass@host:port'},
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
client=Client(..., http_options=http_options)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Custom base url
|
|
|
|
In some cases you might need a custom base url (for example, API gateway proxy
|
|
server) and bypass some authentication checks for project, location, or API key.
|
|
You may pass the custom base url like this:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
client = Client(
|
|
vertexai=True,
|
|
http_options=types.HttpOptionsDict(
|
|
base_url='https://test-api-gateway-proxy.com',
|
|
base_url_resource_scope=types.ResourceScope.COLLECTION,
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
response = client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model='gemini-3-pro-preview', contents='Why is the sky blue?'
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If `base_url_resource_scope=types.ResourceScope.COLLECTION`, the resource name
|
|
will not include api version, project, or location.
|
|
|
|
Expected request url will be:
|
|
https://test-api-gateway-proxy.com/publishers/google/models/gemini-3-pro-preview
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Types
|
|
|
|
Parameter types can be specified as either dictionaries(`TypedDict`) or
|
|
[Pydantic Models](https://pydantic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/model.html).
|
|
Pydantic model types are available in the `types` module.
|
|
|
|
## Models
|
|
|
|
The `client.models` module exposes model inferencing and model getters.
|
|
See the 'Create a client' section above to initialize a client.
|
|
|
|
### Generate Content
|
|
|
|
#### with text content input (text output)
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
response = client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash', contents='Why is the sky blue?'
|
|
)
|
|
print(response.text)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### with text content input (image output)
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
response = client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash-image',
|
|
contents='A cartoon infographic for flying sneakers',
|
|
config=types.GenerateContentConfig(
|
|
response_modalities=["IMAGE"],
|
|
image_config=types.ImageConfig(
|
|
aspect_ratio="9:16",
|
|
),
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
for part in response.parts:
|
|
if part.inline_data:
|
|
generated_image = part.as_image()
|
|
generated_image.show()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### with uploaded file (Gemini Developer API only)
|
|
|
|
Download the file in console.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
!wget -q https://storage.googleapis.com/generativeai-downloads/data/a11.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
python code.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
file = client.files.upload(file='a11.txt')
|
|
response = client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
contents=['Could you summarize this file?', file]
|
|
)
|
|
print(response.text)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### How to structure `contents` argument for `generate_content`
|
|
|
|
The SDK always converts the inputs to the `contents` argument into
|
|
`list[types.Content]`.
|
|
The following shows some common ways to provide your inputs.
|
|
|
|
##### Provide a `list[types.Content]`
|
|
|
|
This is the canonical way to provide contents, SDK will not do any conversion.
|
|
|
|
##### Provide a `types.Content` instance
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
contents = types.Content(
|
|
role='user',
|
|
parts=[types.Part.from_text(text='Why is the sky blue?')]
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
SDK converts this to
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
[
|
|
types.Content(
|
|
role='user',
|
|
parts=[types.Part.from_text(text='Why is the sky blue?')]
|
|
)
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Provide a string
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
contents='Why is the sky blue?'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The SDK will assume this is a text part, and it converts this into the following:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
[
|
|
types.UserContent(
|
|
parts=[
|
|
types.Part.from_text(text='Why is the sky blue?')
|
|
]
|
|
)
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Where a `types.UserContent` is a subclass of `types.Content`, it sets the
|
|
`role` field to be `user`.
|
|
|
|
##### Provide a list of strings
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
contents=['Why is the sky blue?', 'Why is the cloud white?']
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The SDK assumes these are 2 text parts, it converts this into a single content,
|
|
like the following:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
[
|
|
types.UserContent(
|
|
parts=[
|
|
types.Part.from_text(text='Why is the sky blue?'),
|
|
types.Part.from_text(text='Why is the cloud white?'),
|
|
]
|
|
)
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Where a `types.UserContent` is a subclass of `types.Content`, the
|
|
`role` field in `types.UserContent` is fixed to be `user`.
|
|
|
|
##### Provide a function call part
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
contents = types.Part.from_function_call(
|
|
name='get_weather_by_location',
|
|
args={'location': 'Boston'}
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The SDK converts a function call part to a content with a `model` role:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
[
|
|
types.ModelContent(
|
|
parts=[
|
|
types.Part.from_function_call(
|
|
name='get_weather_by_location',
|
|
args={'location': 'Boston'}
|
|
)
|
|
]
|
|
)
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Where a `types.ModelContent` is a subclass of `types.Content`, the
|
|
`role` field in `types.ModelContent` is fixed to be `model`.
|
|
|
|
##### Provide a list of function call parts
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
contents = [
|
|
types.Part.from_function_call(
|
|
name='get_weather_by_location',
|
|
args={'location': 'Boston'}
|
|
),
|
|
types.Part.from_function_call(
|
|
name='get_weather_by_location',
|
|
args={'location': 'New York'}
|
|
),
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The SDK converts a list of function call parts to a content with a `model` role:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
[
|
|
types.ModelContent(
|
|
parts=[
|
|
types.Part.from_function_call(
|
|
name='get_weather_by_location',
|
|
args={'location': 'Boston'}
|
|
),
|
|
types.Part.from_function_call(
|
|
name='get_weather_by_location',
|
|
args={'location': 'New York'}
|
|
)
|
|
]
|
|
)
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Where a `types.ModelContent` is a subclass of `types.Content`, the
|
|
`role` field in `types.ModelContent` is fixed to be `model`.
|
|
|
|
##### Provide a non function call part
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
contents = types.Part.from_uri(
|
|
file_uri: 'gs://generativeai-downloads/images/scones.jpg',
|
|
mime_type: 'image/jpeg',
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The SDK converts all non function call parts into a content with a `user` role.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
[
|
|
types.UserContent(parts=[
|
|
types.Part.from_uri(
|
|
file_uri: 'gs://generativeai-downloads/images/scones.jpg',
|
|
mime_type: 'image/jpeg',
|
|
)
|
|
])
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Provide a list of non function call parts
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
contents = [
|
|
types.Part.from_text('What is this image about?'),
|
|
types.Part.from_uri(
|
|
file_uri: 'gs://generativeai-downloads/images/scones.jpg',
|
|
mime_type: 'image/jpeg',
|
|
)
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The SDK will convert the list of parts into a content with a `user` role
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
[
|
|
types.UserContent(
|
|
parts=[
|
|
types.Part.from_text('What is this image about?'),
|
|
types.Part.from_uri(
|
|
file_uri: 'gs://generativeai-downloads/images/scones.jpg',
|
|
mime_type: 'image/jpeg',
|
|
)
|
|
]
|
|
)
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Mix types in contents
|
|
|
|
You can also provide a list of `types.ContentUnion`. The SDK leaves items of
|
|
`types.Content` as is, it groups consecutive non function call parts into a
|
|
single `types.UserContent`, and it groups consecutive function call parts into
|
|
a single `types.ModelContent`.
|
|
|
|
If you put a list within a list, the inner list can only contain
|
|
`types.PartUnion` items. The SDK will convert the inner list into a single
|
|
`types.UserContent`.
|
|
|
|
### System Instructions and Other Configs
|
|
|
|
The output of the model can be influenced by several optional settings
|
|
available in generate_content's config parameter. For example, increasing
|
|
`max_output_tokens` is essential for longer model responses. To make a model more
|
|
deterministic, lowering the `temperature` parameter reduces randomness, with
|
|
values near 0 minimizing variability. Capabilities and parameter defaults for
|
|
each model is shown in the
|
|
[Vertex AI docs](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/models/gemini/2-5-flash)
|
|
and [Gemini API docs](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/models) respectively.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
response = client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
contents='high',
|
|
config=types.GenerateContentConfig(
|
|
system_instruction='I say high, you say low',
|
|
max_output_tokens=3,
|
|
temperature=0.3,
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
print(response.text)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### List Base Models
|
|
|
|
To retrieve tuned models, see [list tuned models](#list-tuned-models).
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
for model in client.models.list():
|
|
print(model)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
pager = client.models.list(config={'page_size': 10})
|
|
print(pager.page_size)
|
|
print(pager[0])
|
|
pager.next_page()
|
|
print(pager[0])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### List Base Models (Asynchronous)
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
async for job in await client.aio.models.list():
|
|
print(job)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
async_pager = await client.aio.models.list(config={'page_size': 10})
|
|
print(async_pager.page_size)
|
|
print(async_pager[0])
|
|
await async_pager.next_page()
|
|
print(async_pager[0])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Safety Settings
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
response = client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
contents='Say something bad.',
|
|
config=types.GenerateContentConfig(
|
|
safety_settings=[
|
|
types.SafetySetting(
|
|
category='HARM_CATEGORY_HATE_SPEECH',
|
|
threshold='BLOCK_ONLY_HIGH',
|
|
)
|
|
]
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
print(response.text)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Function Calling
|
|
|
|
#### Automatic Python function Support
|
|
|
|
You can pass a Python function directly and it will be automatically
|
|
called and responded by default.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
def get_current_weather(location: str) -> str:
|
|
"""Returns the current weather.
|
|
|
|
Args:
|
|
location: The city and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA
|
|
"""
|
|
return 'sunny'
|
|
|
|
|
|
response = client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
contents='What is the weather like in Boston?',
|
|
config=types.GenerateContentConfig(tools=[get_current_weather]),
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
print(response.text)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Disabling automatic function calling
|
|
|
|
If you pass in a python function as a tool directly, and do not want
|
|
automatic function calling, you can disable automatic function calling
|
|
as follows:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
response = client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
contents='What is the weather like in Boston?',
|
|
config=types.GenerateContentConfig(
|
|
tools=[get_current_weather],
|
|
automatic_function_calling=types.AutomaticFunctionCallingConfig(
|
|
disable=True
|
|
),
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With automatic function calling disabled, you will get a list of function call
|
|
parts in the response:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
function_calls: Optional[List[types.FunctionCall]] = response.function_calls
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Manually declare and invoke a function for function calling
|
|
|
|
If you don't want to use the automatic function support, you can manually
|
|
declare the function and invoke it.
|
|
|
|
The following example shows how to declare a function and pass it as a tool.
|
|
Then you will receive a function call part in the response.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
function = types.FunctionDeclaration(
|
|
name='get_current_weather',
|
|
description='Get the current weather in a given location',
|
|
parameters_json_schema={
|
|
'type': 'object',
|
|
'properties': {
|
|
'location': {
|
|
'type': 'string',
|
|
'description': 'The city and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA',
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
'required': ['location'],
|
|
},
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
tool = types.Tool(function_declarations=[function])
|
|
|
|
response = client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
contents='What is the weather like in Boston?',
|
|
config=types.GenerateContentConfig(tools=[tool]),
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
print(response.function_calls[0])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After you receive the function call part from the model, you can invoke the function
|
|
and get the function response. And then you can pass the function response to
|
|
the model.
|
|
The following example shows how to do it for a simple function invocation.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
user_prompt_content = types.Content(
|
|
role='user',
|
|
parts=[types.Part.from_text(text='What is the weather like in Boston?')],
|
|
)
|
|
function_call_part = response.function_calls[0]
|
|
function_call_content = response.candidates[0].content
|
|
|
|
|
|
try:
|
|
function_result = get_current_weather(
|
|
**function_call_part.function_call.args
|
|
)
|
|
function_response = {'result': function_result}
|
|
except (
|
|
Exception
|
|
) as e: # instead of raising the exception, you can let the model handle it
|
|
function_response = {'error': str(e)}
|
|
|
|
|
|
function_response_part = types.Part.from_function_response(
|
|
name=function_call_part.name,
|
|
response=function_response,
|
|
)
|
|
function_response_content = types.Content(
|
|
role='tool', parts=[function_response_part]
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
response = client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
contents=[
|
|
user_prompt_content,
|
|
function_call_content,
|
|
function_response_content,
|
|
],
|
|
config=types.GenerateContentConfig(
|
|
tools=[tool],
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
print(response.text)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Function calling with `ANY` tools config mode
|
|
|
|
If you configure function calling mode to be `ANY`, then the model will always
|
|
return function call parts. If you also pass a python function as a tool, by
|
|
default the SDK will perform automatic function calling until the remote calls exceed the
|
|
maximum remote call for automatic function calling (default to 10 times).
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to disable automatic function calling in `ANY` mode:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
def get_current_weather(location: str) -> str:
|
|
"""Returns the current weather.
|
|
|
|
Args:
|
|
location: The city and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA
|
|
"""
|
|
return "sunny"
|
|
|
|
response = client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model="gemini-2.5-flash",
|
|
contents="What is the weather like in Boston?",
|
|
config=types.GenerateContentConfig(
|
|
tools=[get_current_weather],
|
|
automatic_function_calling=types.AutomaticFunctionCallingConfig(
|
|
disable=True
|
|
),
|
|
tool_config=types.ToolConfig(
|
|
function_calling_config=types.FunctionCallingConfig(mode='ANY')
|
|
),
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to set `x` number of automatic function call turns, you can
|
|
configure the maximum remote calls to be `x + 1`.
|
|
Assuming you prefer `1` turn for automatic function calling.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
def get_current_weather(location: str) -> str:
|
|
"""Returns the current weather.
|
|
|
|
Args:
|
|
location: The city and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA
|
|
"""
|
|
return "sunny"
|
|
|
|
response = client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model="gemini-2.5-flash",
|
|
contents="What is the weather like in Boston?",
|
|
config=types.GenerateContentConfig(
|
|
tools=[get_current_weather],
|
|
automatic_function_calling=types.AutomaticFunctionCallingConfig(
|
|
maximum_remote_calls=2
|
|
),
|
|
tool_config=types.ToolConfig(
|
|
function_calling_config=types.FunctionCallingConfig(mode='ANY')
|
|
),
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Model Context Protocol (MCP) support (experimental)
|
|
|
|
Built-in [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction) support is an
|
|
experimental feature. You can pass a local MCP server as a tool directly.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import os
|
|
import asyncio
|
|
from datetime import datetime
|
|
from mcp import ClientSession, StdioServerParameters
|
|
from mcp.client.stdio import stdio_client
|
|
from google import genai
|
|
|
|
client = genai.Client()
|
|
|
|
# Create server parameters for stdio connection
|
|
server_params = StdioServerParameters(
|
|
command="npx", # Executable
|
|
args=["-y", "@philschmid/weather-mcp"], # MCP Server
|
|
env=None, # Optional environment variables
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
async def run():
|
|
async with stdio_client(server_params) as (read, write):
|
|
async with ClientSession(read, write) as session:
|
|
# Prompt to get the weather for the current day in London.
|
|
prompt = f"What is the weather in London in {datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d')}?"
|
|
|
|
# Initialize the connection between client and server
|
|
await session.initialize()
|
|
|
|
# Send request to the model with MCP function declarations
|
|
response = await client.aio.models.generate_content(
|
|
model="gemini-2.5-flash",
|
|
contents=prompt,
|
|
config=genai.types.GenerateContentConfig(
|
|
temperature=0,
|
|
tools=[session], # uses the session, will automatically call the tool using automatic function calling
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
print(response.text)
|
|
|
|
# Start the asyncio event loop and run the main function
|
|
asyncio.run(run())
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### JSON Response Schema
|
|
|
|
However you define your schema, don't duplicate it in your input prompt,
|
|
including by giving examples of expected JSON output. If you do, the generated
|
|
output might be lower in quality.
|
|
|
|
#### JSON Schema support
|
|
|
|
Schemas can be provided as standard JSON schema.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
user_profile = {
|
|
'properties': {
|
|
'age': {
|
|
'anyOf': [
|
|
{'maximum': 20, 'minimum': 0, 'type': 'integer'},
|
|
{'type': 'null'},
|
|
],
|
|
'title': 'Age',
|
|
},
|
|
'username': {
|
|
'description': "User's unique name",
|
|
'title': 'Username',
|
|
'type': 'string',
|
|
},
|
|
},
|
|
'required': ['username', 'age'],
|
|
'title': 'User Schema',
|
|
'type': 'object',
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
response = client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
contents='Give me a random user profile.',
|
|
config={
|
|
'response_mime_type': 'application/json',
|
|
'response_json_schema': user_profile
|
|
},
|
|
)
|
|
print(response.text)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Pydantic Model Schema support
|
|
|
|
Schemas can be provided as Pydantic Models.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from pydantic import BaseModel
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
|
|
class CountryInfo(BaseModel):
|
|
name: str
|
|
population: int
|
|
capital: str
|
|
continent: str
|
|
gdp: int
|
|
official_language: str
|
|
total_area_sq_mi: int
|
|
|
|
|
|
response = client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
contents='Give me information for the United States.',
|
|
config=types.GenerateContentConfig(
|
|
response_mime_type='application/json',
|
|
response_json_schema=CountryInfo.model_json_schema(),
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
print(response.text)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
response = client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
contents='Give me information for the United States.',
|
|
config=types.GenerateContentConfig(
|
|
response_mime_type='application/json',
|
|
response_json_schema={
|
|
'required': [
|
|
'name',
|
|
'population',
|
|
'capital',
|
|
'continent',
|
|
'gdp',
|
|
'official_language',
|
|
'total_area_sq_mi',
|
|
],
|
|
'properties': {
|
|
'name': {'type': 'STRING'},
|
|
'population': {'type': 'INTEGER'},
|
|
'capital': {'type': 'STRING'},
|
|
'continent': {'type': 'STRING'},
|
|
'gdp': {'type': 'INTEGER'},
|
|
'official_language': {'type': 'STRING'},
|
|
'total_area_sq_mi': {'type': 'INTEGER'},
|
|
},
|
|
'type': 'OBJECT',
|
|
},
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
print(response.text)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Generate Content (Synchronous Streaming)
|
|
|
|
Generate content in a streaming format so that the model outputs streams back
|
|
to you, rather than being returned as one chunk.
|
|
|
|
#### Streaming for text content
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
for chunk in client.models.generate_content_stream(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash', contents='Tell me a story in 300 words.'
|
|
):
|
|
print(chunk.text, end='')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Streaming for image content
|
|
|
|
If your image is stored in [Google Cloud Storage](https://cloud.google.com/storage),
|
|
you can use the `from_uri` class method to create a `Part` object.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
for chunk in client.models.generate_content_stream(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
contents=[
|
|
'What is this image about?',
|
|
types.Part.from_uri(
|
|
file_uri='gs://generativeai-downloads/images/scones.jpg',
|
|
mime_type='image/jpeg',
|
|
),
|
|
],
|
|
):
|
|
print(chunk.text, end='')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If your image is stored in your local file system, you can read it in as bytes
|
|
data and use the `from_bytes` class method to create a `Part` object.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
YOUR_IMAGE_PATH = 'your_image_path'
|
|
YOUR_IMAGE_MIME_TYPE = 'your_image_mime_type'
|
|
with open(YOUR_IMAGE_PATH, 'rb') as f:
|
|
image_bytes = f.read()
|
|
|
|
for chunk in client.models.generate_content_stream(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
contents=[
|
|
'What is this image about?',
|
|
types.Part.from_bytes(data=image_bytes, mime_type=YOUR_IMAGE_MIME_TYPE),
|
|
],
|
|
):
|
|
print(chunk.text, end='')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Generate Content (Asynchronous Non Streaming)
|
|
|
|
`client.aio` exposes all the analogous [`async` methods](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html)
|
|
that are available on `client`. Note that it applies to all the modules.
|
|
|
|
For example, `client.aio.models.generate_content` is the `async` version
|
|
of `client.models.generate_content`
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
response = await client.aio.models.generate_content(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash', contents='Tell me a story in 300 words.'
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
print(response.text)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Generate Content (Asynchronous Streaming)
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
async for chunk in await client.aio.models.generate_content_stream(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash', contents='Tell me a story in 300 words.'
|
|
):
|
|
print(chunk.text, end='')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Count Tokens and Compute Tokens
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
response = client.models.count_tokens(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
contents='why is the sky blue?',
|
|
)
|
|
print(response)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Compute Tokens
|
|
|
|
Compute tokens is only supported in Vertex AI.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
response = client.models.compute_tokens(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
contents='why is the sky blue?',
|
|
)
|
|
print(response)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Async
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
response = await client.aio.models.count_tokens(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
contents='why is the sky blue?',
|
|
)
|
|
print(response)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Local Count Tokens
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
tokenizer = genai.LocalTokenizer(model_name='gemini-2.5-flash')
|
|
result = tokenizer.count_tokens("What is your name?")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Local Compute Tokens
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
tokenizer = genai.LocalTokenizer(model_name='gemini-2.5-flash')
|
|
result = tokenizer.compute_tokens("What is your name?")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Embed Content
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
response = client.models.embed_content(
|
|
model='gemini-embedding-001',
|
|
contents='why is the sky blue?',
|
|
)
|
|
print(response)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
response = client.models.embed_content(
|
|
model='gemini-embedding-001',
|
|
contents=['why is the sky blue?', 'What is your age?'],
|
|
config=types.EmbedContentConfig(output_dimensionality=10),
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
print(response)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Imagen
|
|
|
|
#### Generate Images
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
response1 = client.models.generate_images(
|
|
model='imagen-4.0-generate-001',
|
|
prompt='An umbrella in the foreground, and a rainy night sky in the background',
|
|
config=types.GenerateImagesConfig(
|
|
number_of_images=1,
|
|
include_rai_reason=True,
|
|
output_mime_type='image/jpeg',
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
response1.generated_images[0].image.show()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Upscale Image
|
|
|
|
Upscale image is only supported in Vertex AI.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
response2 = client.models.upscale_image(
|
|
model='imagen-4.0-upscale-preview',
|
|
image=response1.generated_images[0].image,
|
|
upscale_factor='x2',
|
|
config=types.UpscaleImageConfig(
|
|
include_rai_reason=True,
|
|
output_mime_type='image/jpeg',
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
response2.generated_images[0].image.show()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Edit Image
|
|
|
|
Edit image uses a separate model from generate and upscale.
|
|
|
|
Edit image is only supported in Vertex AI.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# Edit the generated image from above
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
from google.genai.types import RawReferenceImage, MaskReferenceImage
|
|
|
|
raw_ref_image = RawReferenceImage(
|
|
reference_id=1,
|
|
reference_image=response1.generated_images[0].image,
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
# Model computes a mask of the background
|
|
mask_ref_image = MaskReferenceImage(
|
|
reference_id=2,
|
|
config=types.MaskReferenceConfig(
|
|
mask_mode='MASK_MODE_BACKGROUND',
|
|
mask_dilation=0,
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
response3 = client.models.edit_image(
|
|
model='imagen-3.0-capability-001',
|
|
prompt='Sunlight and clear sky',
|
|
reference_images=[raw_ref_image, mask_ref_image],
|
|
config=types.EditImageConfig(
|
|
edit_mode='EDIT_MODE_INPAINT_INSERTION',
|
|
number_of_images=1,
|
|
include_rai_reason=True,
|
|
output_mime_type='image/jpeg',
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
response3.generated_images[0].image.show()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Veo
|
|
|
|
Support for generating videos is considered public preview
|
|
|
|
#### Generate Videos (Text to Video)
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
# Create operation
|
|
operation = client.models.generate_videos(
|
|
model='veo-3.1-generate-preview',
|
|
prompt='A neon hologram of a cat driving at top speed',
|
|
config=types.GenerateVideosConfig(
|
|
number_of_videos=1,
|
|
duration_seconds=5,
|
|
enhance_prompt=True,
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
# Poll operation
|
|
while not operation.done:
|
|
time.sleep(20)
|
|
operation = client.operations.get(operation)
|
|
|
|
video = operation.response.generated_videos[0].video
|
|
video.show()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Generate Videos (Image to Video)
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
# Read local image (uses mimetypes.guess_type to infer mime type)
|
|
image = types.Image.from_file("local/path/file.png")
|
|
|
|
# Create operation
|
|
operation = client.models.generate_videos(
|
|
model='veo-3.1-generate-preview',
|
|
# Prompt is optional if image is provided
|
|
prompt='Night sky',
|
|
image=image,
|
|
config=types.GenerateVideosConfig(
|
|
number_of_videos=1,
|
|
duration_seconds=5,
|
|
enhance_prompt=True,
|
|
# Can also pass an Image into last_frame for frame interpolation
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
# Poll operation
|
|
while not operation.done:
|
|
time.sleep(20)
|
|
operation = client.operations.get(operation)
|
|
|
|
video = operation.response.generated_videos[0].video
|
|
video.show()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Generate Videos (Video to Video)
|
|
|
|
Currently, only Gemini Developer API supports video extension on Veo 3.1 for
|
|
previously generated videos. Vertex supports video extension on Veo 2.0.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
# Read local video (uses mimetypes.guess_type to infer mime type)
|
|
video = types.Video.from_file("local/path/video.mp4")
|
|
|
|
# Create operation
|
|
operation = client.models.generate_videos(
|
|
model='veo-3.1-generate-preview',
|
|
# Prompt is optional if Video is provided
|
|
prompt='Night sky',
|
|
# Input video must be in GCS for Vertex or a URI for Gemini
|
|
video=types.Video(
|
|
uri="gs://bucket-name/inputs/videos/cat_driving.mp4",
|
|
),
|
|
config=types.GenerateVideosConfig(
|
|
number_of_videos=1,
|
|
duration_seconds=5,
|
|
enhance_prompt=True,
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
# Poll operation
|
|
while not operation.done:
|
|
time.sleep(20)
|
|
operation = client.operations.get(operation)
|
|
|
|
video = operation.response.generated_videos[0].video
|
|
video.show()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Chats
|
|
|
|
Create a chat session to start a multi-turn conversations with the model. Then,
|
|
use `chat.send_message` function multiple times within the same chat session so
|
|
that it can reflect on its previous responses (i.e., engage in an ongoing
|
|
conversation). See the 'Create a client' section above to initialize a client.
|
|
|
|
### Send Message (Synchronous Non-Streaming)
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
chat = client.chats.create(model='gemini-2.5-flash')
|
|
response = chat.send_message('tell me a story')
|
|
print(response.text)
|
|
response = chat.send_message('summarize the story you told me in 1 sentence')
|
|
print(response.text)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Send Message (Synchronous Streaming)
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
chat = client.chats.create(model='gemini-2.5-flash')
|
|
for chunk in chat.send_message_stream('tell me a story'):
|
|
print(chunk.text)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Send Message (Asynchronous Non-Streaming)
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
chat = client.aio.chats.create(model='gemini-2.5-flash')
|
|
response = await chat.send_message('tell me a story')
|
|
print(response.text)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Send Message (Asynchronous Streaming)
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
chat = client.aio.chats.create(model='gemini-2.5-flash')
|
|
async for chunk in await chat.send_message_stream('tell me a story'):
|
|
print(chunk.text)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Files
|
|
|
|
Files are only supported in Gemini Developer API. See the 'Create a client'
|
|
section above to initialize a client.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
!gcloud storage cp gs://cloud-samples-data/generative-ai/pdf/2312.11805v3.pdf .
|

|
|
file1 = client.files.upload(file='2312.11805v3.pdf')
|
|
file2 = client.files.upload(file='2403.05530.pdf')
|
|
|
|
print(file1)
|
|
print(file2)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Get

|
|
file3 = client.files.upload(file='2312.11805v3.pdf')
|
|
|
|
client.files.delete(name=file3.name)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Caches
|
|
|
|
`client.caches` contains the control plane APIs for cached content. See the
|
|
'Create a client' section above to initialize a client.
|
|
|
|
### Create
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
if client.vertexai:
|
|
file_uris = [
|
|
'gs://cloud-samples-data/generative-ai/pdf/2312.11805v3.pdf',
|
|
'gs://cloud-samples-data/generative-ai/pdf/2403.05530.pdf',
|
|
]
|
|
else:
|
|
file_uris = [file1.uri, file2.uri]
|
|
|
|
cached_content = client.caches.create(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
config=types.CreateCachedContentConfig(
|
|
contents=[
|
|
types.Content(
|
|
role='user',
|
|
parts=[
|
|
types.Part.from_uri(
|
|
file_uri=file_uris[0], mime_type='application/pdf'
|
|
),
|
|
types.Part.from_uri(
|
|
file_uri=file_uris[1],
|
|
mime_type='application/pdf',
|
|
),
|
|
],
|
|
)
|
|
],
|
|
system_instruction='What is the sum of the two pdfs?',
|
|
display_name='test cache',
|
|
ttl='3600s',
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Get
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
cached_content = client.caches.get(name=cached_content.name)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Generate Content with Caches
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
response = client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
contents='Summarize the pdfs',
|
|
config=types.GenerateContentConfig(
|
|
cached_content=cached_content.name,
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
print(response.text)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Interactions (Preview)
|
|
|
|
> **Warning:** The Interactions API is in **Beta**. This is a preview of an experimental feature. Features and schemas are subject to **breaking changes**.
|
|
|
|
The Interactions API is a unified interface for interacting with Gemini models and agents. It simplifies state management, tool orchestration, and long-running tasks.
|
|
|
|
See the [documentation site](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/interactions) for more details.
|
|
|
|
### Basic Interaction
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
interaction = client.interactions.create(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
input='Tell me a short joke about programming.'
|
|
)
|
|
print(interaction.outputs[-1].text)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Stateful Conversation
|
|
|
|
The Interactions API supports server-side state management. You can continue a conversation by referencing the `previous_interaction_id`.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# 1. First turn
|
|
interaction1 = client.interactions.create(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
input='Hi, my name is Amir.'
|
|
)
|
|
print(f"Model: {interaction1.outputs[-1].text}")
|
|
|
|
# 2. Second turn (passing previous_interaction_id)
|
|
interaction2 = client.interactions.create(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
input='What is my name?',
|
|
previous_interaction_id=interaction1.id
|
|
)
|
|
print(f"Model: {interaction2.outputs[-1].text}")
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Agents (Deep Research)
|
|
|
|
You can use specialized agents like `deep-research-pro-preview-12-2025` for complex tasks.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import time
|
|
|
|
# 1. Start the Deep Research Agent
|
|
initial_interaction = client.interactions.create(
|
|
input='Research the history of the Google TPUs with a focus on 2025 and 2026.',
|
|
agent='deep-research-pro-preview-12-2025',
|
|
background=True
|
|
)
|
|
print(f"Research started. Interaction ID: {initial_interaction.id}")
|
|
|
|
# 2. Poll for results
|
|
while True:
|
|
interaction = client.interactions.get(id=initial_interaction.id)
|
|
print(f"Status: {interaction.status}")
|
|
|
|
if interaction.status == "completed":
|
|
print("\nFinal Report:\n", interaction.outputs[-1].text)
|
|
break
|
|
elif interaction.status in ["failed", "cancelled"]:
|
|
print(f"Failed with status: {interaction.status}")
|
|
break
|
|
|
|
time.sleep(10)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Multimodal Input
|
|
|
|
You can provide multimodal data (text, images, audio, etc.) in the input list.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import base64
|
|
|
|
# Assuming you have an image loaded as bytes
|
|
# base64_image = ...
|
|
|
|
interaction = client.interactions.create(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
input=[
|
|
{'type': 'text', 'text': 'Describe the image.'},
|
|
{'type': 'image', 'data': base64_image, 'mime_type': 'image/png'}
|
|
]
|
|
)
|
|
print(interaction.outputs[-1].text)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Function Calling
|
|
|
|
You can define custom functions for the model to use. The Interactions API handles the tool selection, and you provide the execution result back to the model.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# 1. Define the tool
|
|
def get_weather(location: str):
|
|
"""Gets the weather for a given location."""
|
|
return f"The weather in {location} is sunny."
|
|
|
|
weather_tool = {
|
|
'type': 'function',
|
|
'name': 'get_weather',
|
|
'description': 'Gets the weather for a given location.',
|
|
'parameters': {
|
|
'type': 'object',
|
|
'properties': {
|
|
'location': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'The city and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA'}
|
|
},
|
|
'required': ['location']
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
# 2. Send the request with tools
|
|
interaction = client.interactions.create(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
input='What is the weather in Mountain View, CA?',
|
|
tools=[weather_tool]
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
# 3. Handle the tool call
|
|
for output in interaction.outputs:
|
|
if output.type == 'function_call':
|
|
print(f"Tool Call: {output.name}({output.arguments})")
|
|
|
|
# Execute your actual function here
|
|
result = get_weather(**output.arguments)
|
|
|
|
# Send result back to the model
|
|
interaction = client.interactions.create(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
previous_interaction_id=interaction.id,
|
|
input=[{
|
|
'type': 'function_result',
|
|
'name': output.name,
|
|
'call_id': output.id,
|
|
'result': result
|
|
}]
|
|
)
|
|
print(f"Response: {interaction.outputs[-1].text}")
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Built-in Tools
|
|
You can also use Google's built-in tools, such as **Google Search** or **Code Execution**.
|
|
|
|
#### Grounding with Google Search
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
interaction = client.interactions.create(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
input='Who won the last Super Bowl?',
|
|
tools=[{'type': 'google_search'}]
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
# Find the text output (not the GoogleSearchResultContent)
|
|
text_output = next((o for o in interaction.outputs if o.type == 'text'), None)
|
|
if text_output:
|
|
print(text_output.text)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Code Execution
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
interaction = client.interactions.create(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
input='Calculate the 50th Fibonacci number.',
|
|
tools=[{'type': 'code_execution'}]
|
|
)
|
|
print(interaction.outputs[-1].text)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Multimodal Output
|
|
|
|
The Interactions API can generate multimodal outputs, such as images. You must specify the `response_modalities`.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import base64
|
|
|
|
interaction = client.interactions.create(
|
|
model='gemini-3-pro-image-preview',
|
|
input='Generate an image of a futuristic city.',
|
|
response_modalities=['IMAGE']
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
for output in interaction.outputs:
|
|
if output.type == 'image':
|
|
print(f"Generated image with mime_type: {output.mime_type}")
|
|
# Save the image
|
|
with open("generated_city.png", "wb") as f:
|
|
f.write(base64.b64decode(output.data))
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Tunings
|
|
|
|
`client.tunings` contains tuning job APIs and supports supervised fine
|
|
tuning through `tune`. Only supported in Vertex AI. See the 'Create a client'
|
|
section above to initialize a client.
|
|
|
|
### Tune
|
|
|
|
- Vertex AI supports tuning from GCS source or from a [Vertex AI Multimodal Dataset](https://docs.cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/multimodal/datasets)
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
model = 'gemini-2.5-flash'
|
|
training_dataset = types.TuningDataset(
|
|
# or gcs_uri=my_vertex_multimodal_dataset
|
|
gcs_uri='gs://your-gcs-bucket/your-tuning-data.jsonl',
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import types
|
|
|
|
tuning_job = client.tunings.tune(
|
|
base_model=model,
|
|
training_dataset=training_dataset,
|
|
config=types.CreateTuningJobConfig(
|
|
epoch_count=1, tuned_model_display_name='test_dataset_examples model'
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
print(tuning_job)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Get Tuning Job
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
tuning_job = client.tunings.get(name=tuning_job.name)
|
|
print(tuning_job)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import time
|
|
|
|
completed_states = set(

|
|
#### Use Tuned Model
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
response = client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model=tuning_job.tuned_model.endpoint,
|
|
contents='why is the sky blue?',
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
print(response.text)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Get Tuned Model
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
tuned_model = client.models.get(model=tuning_job.tuned_model.model)
|
|
print(tuned_model)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### List Tuned Models

|
|
|
To retrieve base models, see [list base models](#list-base-models).
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
for model in client.models.list(config={'page_size': 10, 'query_base': False}):
|
|
print(model)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
pager = client.models.list(config={'page_size': 10, 'query_base': False})
|
|
print(pager.page_size)
|
|
print(pager[0])
|
|
pager.next_page()
|
|
print(pager[0])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
async for job in await client.aio.models.list(config={'page_size': 10, 'query_base': False}):
|
|
print(job)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
async_pager = await client.aio.models.list(config={'page_size': 10, 'query_base': False})
|

## Batch Prediction
|
|
|
|
Only supported in Vertex AI. See the 'Create a client' section above to
|
|
initialize a client.
|
|
|
|
### Create
|
|
|
|
Vertex AI:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# Specify model and source file only, destination and job display name will be auto-populated
|
|
job = client.batches.create(
|
|
model='gemini-2.5-flash',
|
|
src='bq://my-project.my-dataset.my-table', # or "gs://path/to/input/data"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
print(job)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Gemini Developer API:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# Create a batch job with inlined requests
|
|
batch_job = client.batches.create(
|
|
model="gemini-2.5-flash",
|
|
src=[{
|
|
"contents": [{
|
|
"parts": [{
|
|
"text": "Hello!",
|
|
}],
|
|
"role": "user",
|
|
}],
|
|
"config": {"response_modalities": ["text"]},
|
|
}],
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
job
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In order to create a batch job with file name. Need to upload a json file.
|
|
For example `myrequests.json`:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{"key":"request_1", "request": {"contents": [{"parts": [{"text":
|
|
"Explain how AI works in a few words"}]}], "generation_config": {"response_modalities": ["TEXT"]}}}
|
|
{"key":"request_2", "request": {"contents": [{"parts": [{"text": "Explain how Crypto works in a few words"}]}]}}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then upload the file.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# Upload the file
|
|
file = client.files.upload(
|
|
file='myrequests.json',
|
|
config=types.UploadFileConfig(display_name='test-json')
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
# Create a batch job with file name
|
|
batch_job = client.batches.create(
|
|
model="gemini-2.5-flash",
|
|
src="files/test-json",
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# Get a job by name
|
|
job = client.batches.get(name=job.name)
|
|
|
|
job.state
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
completed_states = set(
|
|
[
|
|
'JOB_STATE_SUCCEEDED',
|
|
'JOB_STATE_FAILED',
|
|
'JOB_STATE_CANCELLED',
|
|
'JOB_STATE_PAUSED',
|
|
]
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
while job.state not in completed_states:
|
|
print(job.state)
|
|
job = client.batches.get(name=job.name)
|
|
time.sleep(30)
|
|
|
|
job
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### List
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
for job in client.batches.list(config=types.ListBatchJobsConfig(page_size=10)):
|
|
print(job)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
pager = client.batches.list(config=types.ListBatchJobsConfig(page_size=10))
|
|
print(pager.page_size)
|
|
print(pager[0])
|
|
pager.next_page()
|
|
print(pager[0])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Async
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
async for job in await client.aio.batches.list(
|
|
config=types.ListBatchJobsConfig(page_size=10)
|
|
):
|
|
print(job)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
async_pager = await client.aio.batches.list(
|
|
config=types.ListBatchJobsConfig(page_size=10)
|
|
)
|
|
print(async_pager.page_size)
|
|
print(async_pager[0])
|
|
await async_pager.next_page()
|
|
print(async_pager[0])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Delete
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# Delete the job resource
|
|
delete_job = client.batches.delete(name=job.name)
|
|
|
|
delete_job
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Error Handling
|
|
|
|
To handle errors raised by the model service, the SDK provides this [`APIError`](https://github.com/googleapis/python-genai/blob/main/google/genai/errors.py) class.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from google.genai import errors
|
|
|
|
try:
|
|
client.models.generate_content(
|
|
model="invalid-model-name",
|
|
contents="What is your name?",
|
|
)
|
|
except errors.APIError as e:
|
|
print(e.code) # 404
|
|
print(e.message)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Extra Request Body
|
|
|
|
The `extra_body` field in `HttpOptions` accepts a dictionary of additional JSON
|
|
properties to include in the request body. This can be used to access new or
|
|
experimental backend features that are not yet formally supported in the SDK.
|
|
The structure of the dictionary must match the backend API's request structure.
