Connect your Vertex credentials​

Obtaining your credentials on Google Cloud can be tricky. As of March 28, 2024, here's the process to obtain them:

On Google Cloud​

  • Navigate to https://cloud.google.com/ and log in with your Gmail account.
  • Initiate the Console by selecting the option in the top right corner.
  • In the left panel, click on the "Models Garden" tab.
  • In the search box at the top, type Vertex AI. Choose Virtual Studio Vertex.
  • Ensure you have enabled the Vertex AI API, Dataform API, and Compute Engine API.
  • Go to the Dashboard.
  • Select "API & Services" from the right-hand menu and click Credentials. Click on the email associated with Service Accounts. You'll be directed to the Service Account page. From there, navigate to the Keys tab and select Add Key. The download should start automatically, and the file should be saved as a .json.
  • Rename the downloaded file to credentials.
  • For the Custom Link, customize it as needed, ensuring the LOCATION, PROJECT_ID, and MODEL are changed. https://LOCATION-aiplatform.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION/publishers/google/models/MODEL:streamGenerateContent
