google_generative_language_api 0.2.1

A Rest API wrapper client for Google's Generative Language API.

Generative Language API (PaLM)

A Dart package that provides convenient access to the Generative Language API. It allows you to interact with the API to generate messages, generate text, embed text, retrieve models, list available models, and count message tokens.

This package is a third party wrapper around the REST API, it is not an official Google package. With that in mind, I have tried to make the package as easy to use as possible, adapting the models and documentation to Dart as accurately as possible. If you encounter any discrepancies, issues, or have suggestions, please file an issue on GitHub.

The PaLM API allows developers to build generative AI applications using the PaLM model. Large Language Models (LLMs) are a powerful, versatile type of machine learning model that enables computers to comprehend and generate natural language through a series of prompts.

The PaLM API is based on Google's next generation LLM, PaLM. It excels at a variety of different tasks like code generation, reasoning, and writing. You can use the PaLM API to build generative AI applications for use cases like content generation, dialogue agents, summarization and classification systems, and more.

Features

• Generate messages using specified models.
• Generate text using specified models.
• Embed text using specified models.
• Retrieve details of a specific model.
• List available models with pagination support.
• Count the number of tokens in a message.

Getting Started

Before you can use this package, you need to obtain an API key for the Generative Language API. Follow these steps:

1. Go to https://makersuite.google.com/app/home
2. Tap on "Create an API key"
3. Select either "Create API key in new project" or "Create API key in existing project" depending on your needs.
4. Copy the API key you generated and save it somewhere safe.
   • Never share your API key with anyone and never commit it to a public repository.
   • Please use caution and follow best practices when using API keys.

Once you have your API key, you can install the package by adding it to your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  google_generative_language_api: ^latest

Then run flutter pub get in your terminal.

Usage

Import the package into your Dart file:

import 'package:google_generative_language_api/google_generative_language_api.dart';

You can then use the various methods provided by the package like so:

Get model details

void main() async {
  final Model model = await GenerativeLanguageAPI.getModel(
    modelName: modelName,
    apiKey: 'PALM_API_KEY',
  );

  print('Model Name: ${model.name}');
  print('Description: ${model.description}');
  // Print other relevant model details
}

List all available models

void main() async {
  final ListModelResponse response =
      await GenerativeLanguageAPI.listModels(apiKey: 'PALM_API_KEY');

  print('Models:');
  for (final Model model in response.models) {
    print('Name: ${model.name}');
    print('Description: ${model.description}');
    // Print other relevant model details
  }

  if (response.nextPageToken != null) {
    print('Next Page Token: ${response.nextPageToken}');
  }
}

Generate messages

void main() async {
  const request = GenerateMessageRequest(
    prompt: MessagePrompt(
      messages: [
        Message(author: '1', content: 'hi'),
      ],
    ),
  );

  final GeneratedMessage generatedMessage =
  await GenerativeLanguageAPI.generateMessage(
    modelName: 'models/chat-bison-001',
    request: request,
    apiKey: 'PALM_API_KEY',
  );

  print(generatedMessage.messages.map((message) => message.content).join('\n'));
  print(generatedMessage.candidates.map((message) => message.content).join('\n'));
}

Generate text

void main() async {
  const request = GenerateTextRequest(
    prompt: TextPrompt(text: 'Write a story about a magic backpack.'),
    temperature: 1.0,
    candidateCount: 2,
  );

  final GeneratedText text = await GenerativeLanguageAPI.generateText(
    modelName: 'models/text-bison-001',
    request: request,
    apiKey: 'PALM_API_KEY',
  );

  print(text.candidates.map((candidate) => candidate.output).join('\n'));
}

Embed Text

void main() async {
  const request = EmbedTextRequest(text: 'say something nice!');

  final EmbeddedText embed = await GenerativeLanguageAPI.embedText(
    modelName: 'models/embedding-gecko-001',
    request: request,
    apiKey: 'PALM_API_KEY',
  );

  print(embed.embedding.values.join('\n'));
}

Count tokens in a message

void main() async {
  final int tokenCount = await GenerativeLanguageAPI.countMessageTokens(
    modelName: modelName,
    request: CountMessageTokensRequest(prompt: prompt),
    apiKey: 'PALM_API_KEY',
  );

  print('Token Count: $tokenCount');
}
