[FIXED] Vertex AI - Sample Notebook Authentication

Issue

Vertex AI created the below sample notebook. When I run it I get a unauthorized error. I don't see any exmaples on what the authentication setup would be like. Would it be a API key, username/password, etc? What would the code consist of?

!pip install --upgrade google-cloud-aiplatform

import base64
import vertexai
from vertexai.preview.generative_models import GenerativeModel

def generate():
  model = GenerativeModel("gemini-pro-vision")
  responses = model.generate_content(
    ["""What is the date today?"""],
    
    generation_config={
        "max_output_tokens": 2048,
        "temperature": 0.4,
        "top_p": 1,
        "top_k": 32
    },
    )
  
  print(responses)

generate()

Solution

The easiest way to do it locally is to add:

import os
os.environ["GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS"]="/key.json"

Before generate()

Get your project key in IAM / Service Accounts / Key -> Add Key -> Download as json
