This package contains resources to access Google AI/ML models and other Google services via Vertex AI. Authorization to these services use either an API Key or service account credentials that are included in an environment variable.
If you are running this on the Google Cloud Platform, or in a way where service account credentials can be stored on a file system, consider using the @langchain/google-vertexai package instead. You do not need to use both packages. See the section on Authorization below.
$ yarn add @langchain/google-vertexai-web
Authorization is done through a Google Cloud Service Account.
To handle service accounts, this package uses the google-auth-library
package, and you may wish to consult the documentation for that library
about how it does so. But in short, classes in this package will use
credentials from the first of the following that apply:
apiKey
attributeauthInfo
attributeAPI_KEY
GOOGLE_WEB_CREDENTIALS
GOOGLE_VERTEX_AI_WEB_CREDENTIALS
