Properties

transport

Returns the transport used by the client instance.

Returns
TypeDescription
PredictionServiceTransportThe transport used by the client instance.

Methods

PredictionServiceClient

PredictionServiceClient(*, credentials: Optional[google.auth.credentials.Credentials] = None, transport: Optional[Union[str, google.cloud.aiplatform_v1beta1.services.prediction_service.transports.base.PredictionServiceTransport]] = None, client_options: Optional[google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions] = None, client_info: google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo = <google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo object>)

Instantiates the prediction service client.

Parameters
NameDescription
credentials Optional[google.auth.credentials.Credentials]

The authorization credentials to attach to requests. These credentials identify the application to the service; if none are specified, the client will attempt to ascertain the credentials from the environment.

transport Union[str, PredictionServiceTransport]

The transport to use. If set to None, a transport is chosen automatically.

client_options google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions

Custom options for the client. It won't take effect if a transport instance is provided. (1) The api_endpoint property can be used to override the default endpoint provided by the client. GOOGLE_API_USE_MTLS_ENDPOINT environment variable can also be used to override the endpoint: "always" (always use the default mTLS endpoint), "never" (always use the default regular endpoint) and "auto" (auto switch to the default mTLS endpoint if client certificate is present, this is the default value). However, the api_endpoint property takes precedence if provided. (2) If GOOGLE_API_USE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE environment variable is "true", then the client_cert_source property can be used to provide client certificate for mutual TLS transport. If not provided, the default SSL client certificate will be used if present. If GOOGLE_API_USE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE is "false" or not set, no client certificate will be used.

client_info google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo

The client info used to send a user-agent string along with API requests. If None, then default info will be used. Generally, you only need to set this if you're developing your own client library.

Exceptions
TypeDescription
google.auth.exceptions.MutualTLSChannelErrorIf mutual TLS transport creation failed for any reason.

__exit__

__exit__(type, value, traceback)

Releases underlying transport's resources.

.. warning:: ONLY use as a context manager if the transport is NOT shared with other clients! Exiting the with block will CLOSE the transport and may cause errors in other clients!

Perform an online prediction with an arbitrary HTTP payload.

The response includes the following HTTP headers:

  • X-Vertex-AI-Endpoint-Id: ID of the xref_Endpoint that served this prediction.

  • X-Vertex-AI-Deployed-Model-Id: ID of the Endpoint's xref_DeployedModel that served this prediction.

from google.cloud import aiplatform_v1beta1

def sample_raw_predict():
    # Create a client
    client = aiplatform_v1beta1.PredictionServiceClient()

    # Initialize request argument(s)
    request = aiplatform_v1beta1.RawPredictRequest(
        endpoint="endpoint_value",
    )

    # Make the request
    response = client.raw_predict(request=request)

    # Handle the response
    print(response)
Parameters
NameDescription
request Union[google.cloud.aiplatform_v1beta1.types.RawPredictRequest, dict]

The request object. Request message for PredictionService.RawPredict.

endpoint str

Required. The name of the Endpoint requested to serve the prediction. Format: projects/{project}/locations/{location}/endpoints/{endpoint} This corresponds to the endpoint field on the request instance; if request is provided, this should not be set.

http_body google.api.httpbody_pb2.HttpBody

The prediction input. Supports HTTP headers and arbitrary data payload. A DeployedModel may have an upper limit on the number of instances it supports per request. When this limit it is exceeded for an AutoML model, the RawPredict method returns an error. When this limit is exceeded for a custom-trained model, the behavior varies depending on the model. You can specify the schema for each instance in the predict_schemata.instance_schema_uri field when you create a Model. This schema applies when you deploy the Model as a DeployedModel to an Endpoint and use the RawPredict method. This corresponds to the http_body field on the request instance; if request is provided, this should not be set.

retry google.api_core.retry.Retry

Designation of what errors, if any, should be retried.

timeout float

The timeout for this request.

metadata Sequence[Tuple[str, str]]

Strings which should be sent along with the request as metadata.

Returns
TypeDescription
google.api.httpbody_pb2.HttpBodyMessage that represents an arbitrary HTTP body. It should only be used for payload formats that can't be represented as JSON, such as raw binary or an HTML page. This message can be used both in streaming and non-streaming API methods in the request as well as the response. It can be used as a top-level request field, which is convenient if one wants to extract parameters from either the URL or HTTP template into the request fields and also want access to the raw HTTP body. Example: message GetResourceRequest { // A unique request id. string request_id = 1; // The raw HTTP body is bound to this field. google.api.HttpBody http_body = 2; } service ResourceService { rpc GetResource(GetResourceRequest) returns (google.api.HttpBody); rpc UpdateResource(google.api.HttpBody) returns (google.protobuf.Empty); } Example with streaming methods: service CaldavService { rpc GetCalendar(stream google.api.HttpBody) returns (stream google.api.HttpBody); rpc UpdateCalendar(stream google.api.HttpBody) returns (stream google.api.HttpBody); } Use of this type only changes how the request and response bodies are handled, all other features will continue to work unchanged.
