Cloud AutoML: Node.js Client

release level npm version

Cloud AutoML API client for Node.js

A comprehensive list of changes in each version may be found in the CHANGELOG.

Read more about the client libraries for Cloud APIs, including the older Google APIs Client Libraries, in Client Libraries Explained.

Table of contents:

Quickstart

Before you begin

  1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
  2. Enable billing for your project.
  3. Enable the Cloud AutoML API.
  4. Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.

Installing the client library

npm install @google-cloud/automl

Using the client library

const automl = require('@google-cloud/automl');
const fs = require('fs');

// Create client for prediction service.
const client = new automl.PredictionServiceClient();

/**
 * TODO(developer): Uncomment the following line before running the sample.
 */
// const projectId = `The GCLOUD_PROJECT string, e.g. "my-gcloud-project"`;
// const computeRegion = `region-name, e.g. "us-central1"`;
// const modelId = `id of the model, e.g. “ICN723541179344731436”`;
// const filePath = `local text file path of content to be classified, e.g. "./resources/flower.png"`;
// const scoreThreshold = `value between 0.0 and 1.0, e.g. "0.5"`;

// Get the full path of the model.
const modelFullId = client.modelPath(projectId, computeRegion, modelId);

// Read the file content for prediction.
const content = fs.readFileSync(filePath, 'base64');

const params = {};

if (scoreThreshold) {
  params.score_threshold = scoreThreshold;
}

// Set the payload by giving the content and type of the file.
const payload = {};
payload.image = {imageBytes: content};

// params is additional domain-specific parameters.
// currently there is no additional parameters supported.
const [response] = await client.predict({
  name: modelFullId,
  payload: payload,
  params: params,
});
console.log('Prediction results:');
response.payload.forEach(result => {
  console.log(`Predicted class name: ${result.displayName}`);
  console.log(`Predicted class score: ${result.classification.score}`);
});

Samples are in the samples/ directory. Each sample's README.md has instructions for running its sample.

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js.

Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and can be installed via npm dist-tags. The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version).

Legacy Node.js versions are supported as a best effort:

  • Legacy versions will not be tested in continuous integration.
  • Some security patches may not be able to be backported.
  • Dependencies will not be kept up-to-date, and features will not be backported.

Legacy tags available

  • legacy-8: install client libraries from this dist-tag for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

This library is considered to be General Availability (GA). This means it is stable; the code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against GA libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
