How to authenticate using API key?

adaboese commented 6 months ago

I've already generated an API key through https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials

How do I provide it to Vertex SDK?

It can be done via setting environment variable before executing authorised requests

process.env.GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS = path_to_json_file

That's path to JSON file. I just want to pass the API key.

Majority of services including the Vertex AI platform requires OAuth, which means you MUST use Service Account.

If you do, however, want to use the token, you will have to generate one yourself. This token is short lived (1 hour only) and has to be requested using Service Account.

If you want the token in the CLI environment, you can use export VERTEX_API_KEY=$(gcloud auth print-access-token).

If you want the token inside your applications, you can write an API endpoint from your favorite langauge such as TypeScript and use Google's Auth library to generate one.

Unless you're trying to consume VertexAI from edge runtimes that use WinterCG, I would recommend to use JSON file.

Example using this library and Bun:

import serviceAccount from './service-account.json' assert { type: 'json' };
const vertex_ai = new VertexAI({
    project: project,
    location: location,
    // https://cloud.google.com/nodejs/docs/reference/google-auth-library/latest/google-auth-library/googleauthoptions#google_auth_library_GoogleAuthOptions_credentials_member
    googleAuthOptions: { credentials: serviceAccount },
});

Where can I get the service-account.json file?
