Comienza a usar la API de Interactions

En esta guía, se explica cómo comenzar a usar la API de Gemini con la API de Interactions. Realizarás tu primera llamada a la API en menos de un minuto y explorarás la generación de texto, la comprensión multimodal, la generación de imágenes, el resultado estructurado, las herramientas, las llamadas a funciones, los agentes y la ejecución en segundo plano.

La API de Interactions está disponible a través de los SDKs de Python y JavaScript, así como a través de REST.

1. Obtén una clave de API

Para usar la API de Gemini, necesitas una clave de API. Crea uno gratis para comenzar:

Crea una clave de la API de Gemini

Luego, configúrala como una variable de entorno:

export GEMINI_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

2. Instala el SDK y haz tu primera llamada

Instala el SDK y genera texto con una sola llamada a la API.

Python

Instala el SDK:

pip install -U google-genai

Inicializa el cliente y realiza una solicitud:

from google import genai

client = genai.Client()

interaction = client.interactions.create(
    model="gemini-3.5-flash",
    input="Explain how AI works in a few words"
)
print(interaction.output_text)

JavaScript

Instala el SDK:

npm install @google/genai

Inicializa el cliente y realiza una solicitud:

import { GoogleGenAI } from "@google/genai";

const ai = new GoogleGenAI({});

const interaction = await ai.interactions.create({
  model: "gemini-3.5-flash",
  input: "Explain how AI works in a few words",
});
console.log(interaction.output_text);

REST

curl -X POST "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/interactions" \
  -H "x-goog-api-key: $GEMINI_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H "Api-Revision: 2026-05-20" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gemini-3.5-flash",
    "input": "Explain how AI works in a few words"
  }'

Respuesta:

{
  "id": "v1_ChdpQUFvYXI...",
  "status": "completed",
  "usage": {
    "total_tokens": 197,
    "total_input_tokens": 8,
    "total_output_tokens": 12
  },
  "created": "2026-06-09T12:01:25Z",
  "steps": [
    {
      "type": "thought",
      "signature": "EvEFCu4FAQw..."
    },
    {
      "type": "model_output",
      "content": [
        {
          "type": "text",
          "text": "AI learns patterns from data, then uses those patterns to make predictions or decisions on new data."
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "object": "interaction",
  "model": "gemini-3.5-flash",
}

Cuando se usa REST, la API devuelve el recurso Interaction completo que contiene metadatos, estadísticas de uso y el historial paso a paso del turno.

Si bien los SDKs exponen la respuesta completa, también proporcionan propiedades convenientes, como interaction.output_text y interaction.output_image, para acceder directamente a los resultados finales. Obtén más información sobre la estructura de la respuesta en la visión general de las interacciones o lee la guía de generación de texto para obtener detalles sobre las instrucciones del sistema y la configuración de generación.

3. Transmite la respuesta

Para lograr interacciones más fluidas, transmite la respuesta a medida que se genera. Cada evento step.delta entrega un fragmento de texto que puedes mostrar de inmediato.

Python

from google import genai

client = genai.Client()

stream = client.interactions.create(
    model="gemini-3.5-flash",
    input="Explain how AI works",
    stream=True
)
for event in stream:
    print(event)

JavaScript

import { GoogleGenAI } from "@google/genai";

const ai = new GoogleGenAI({});

const stream = await ai.interactions.create({
  model: "gemini-3.5-flash",
  input: "Explain how AI works",
  stream: true,
});

for await (const event of stream) {
  console.log(event);
}

REST

curl -X POST "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/interactions?alt=sse" \
  -H "x-goog-api-key: $GEMINI_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H "Api-Revision: 2026-05-20" \
  --no-buffer \
  -d '{
    "model": "gemini-3.5-flash",
    "input": "Explain how AI works",
    "stream": true
  }'

Cuando se transmite, el servidor responde con una transmisión de eventos enviados por el servidor (SSE). Cada evento incluye un tipo y datos JSON.

Respuesta:

event: interaction.created
data: {"interaction":{"id":"v1_Chd...","status":"in_progress","model":"gemini-3.5-flash"},"event_type":"interaction.created"}

event: step.start
data: {"index":0,"step":{"type":"thought"},"event_type":"step.start"}

event: step.delta
data: {"index":0,"delta":{"signature":"EvEFCu4F...","type":"thought_signature"},"event_type":"step.delta"}

event: step.stop
data: {"index":0,"event_type":"step.stop"}

event: step.start
data: {"index":1,"step":{"type":"model_output"},"event_type":"step.start"}

event: step.delta
data: {"index":1,"delta":{"text":"AI ","type":"text"},"event_type":"step.delta"}

event: step.delta
data: {"index":1,"delta":{"text":"works ","type":"text"},"event_type":"step.delta"}

event: step.stop
data: {"index":1,"event_type":"step.stop"}

event: interaction.completed
data: {"interaction":{"id":"v1_Chd...","status":"completed","usage":{"total_tokens":197}},"event_type":"interaction.completed"}

Para obtener una descripción detallada del manejo de eventos de transmisión y tipos de delta, consulta la guía de interacciones de transmisión.

4. Conversaciones de varios turnos

La API de Interactions admite conversaciones de varios turnos con dos enfoques:

  • Con estado (recomendado): Continúa una conversación en el servidor con previous_interaction_id. Ideal para la mayoría de los flujos de trabajo de chat y de agentes en los que deseas que el servidor administre el historial y optimice el almacenamiento en caché.
  • Sin estado: Administra el historial de conversaciones en el cliente pasando todos los turnos anteriores (incluidos los pasos intermedios de pensamiento y herramientas del modelo) en cada solicitud.

Encadena interacciones pasando previous_interaction_id. El servidor administra el historial de conversaciones completo por ti.

Python

from google import genai

client = genai.Client()

# Server-side state (recommended)
interaction1 = client.interactions.create(
    model="gemini-3.5-flash",
    input="I have 2 dogs in my house.",
)
print("Response 1:", interaction1.output_text)

interaction2 = client.interactions.create(
    model="gemini-3.5-flash",
    input="How many paws are in my house?",
    previous_interaction_id=interaction1.id,
)
print("Response 2:", interaction2.output_text)

JavaScript

import { GoogleGenAI } from "@google/genai";

const ai = new GoogleGenAI({});

// Server-side state (recommended)
const interaction1 = await ai.interactions.create({
  model: "gemini-3.5-flash",
  input: "I have 2 dogs in my house.",
});
console.log("Response 1:", interaction1.output_text);

const interaction2 = await ai.interactions.create({
  model: "gemini-3.5-flash",
  input: "How many paws are in my house?",
  previous_interaction_id: interaction1.id,
});
console.log("Response 2:", interaction2.output_text);

REST

RESPONSE1=$(curl -s -X POST "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/interactions" \
  -H "x-goog-api-key: $GEMINI_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H "Api-Revision: 2026-05-20" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gemini-3.5-flash",
    "input": "I have 2 dogs in my house."
  }')

INTERACTION_ID=$(echo "$RESPONSE1" | jq -r '.id')
echo "Interaction 1 ID: $INTERACTION_ID"

curl -X POST "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/interactions" \
  -H "x-goog-api-key: $GEMINI_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H "Api-Revision: 2026-05-20" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gemini-3.5-flash",
    "input": "How many paws are in my house?",
    "previous_interaction_id": "'$INTERACTION_ID'"
  }'

Sin estado

Establece store=false y administra el historial de conversaciones en el cliente. Debes conservar y volver a enviar todos los pasos generados por el modelo (incluidos los pasos thought y function_call) exactamente como los recibiste.

Python

from google import genai

client = genai.Client()

history = [
    {
        "type": "user_input",
        "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "I have 2 dogs in my house."}]
    }
]

interaction1 = client.interactions.create(
    model="gemini-3.5-flash",
    store=False,
    input=history
)
print("Response 1:", interaction1.steps[-1].content[0].text)

for step in interaction1.steps:
    history.append(step.model_dump())

history.append({
    "type": "user_input",
    "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "How many paws are in my house?"}]
})

interaction2 = client.interactions.create(
    model="gemini-3.5-flash",
    store=False,
    input=history
)
print("Response 2:", interaction2.steps[-1].content[0].text)

JavaScript

import { GoogleGenAI } from "@google/genai";

const ai = new GoogleGenAI({});

const history = [
  {
    type: "user_input",
    content: [{ type: "text", text: "I have 2 dogs in my house." }]
  }
];

const interaction1 = await ai.interactions.create({
  model: "gemini-3.5-flash",
  store: false,
  input: history
});
console.log("Response 1:", interaction1.steps.at(-1).content[0].text);

history.push(...interaction1.steps);

history.push({
  type: "user_input",
  content: [{ type: "text", text: "How many paws are in my house?" }]
});

const interaction2 = await ai.interactions.create({
  model: "gemini-3.5-flash",
  store: false,
  input: history
});
console.log("Response 2:", interaction2.steps.at(-1).content[0].text);

5. Comprensión multimodal

Los modelos de Gemini comprenden imágenes, audio, video y documentos de forma nativa. Pasa contenido multimedia junto con texto en una sola solicitud.

Python

import base64
from google import genai

client = genai.Client()

# Load a local image
with open("sample.jpg", "rb") as f:
    image_bytes = f.read()
image_b64 = base64.b64encode(image_bytes).decode("utf-8")

interaction = client.interactions.create(
    model="gemini-3.5-flash",
    input=[
        {"type": "text", "text": "Compare this local image and this remote audio file."},
        {
            "type": "image",
            "data": image_b64,
            "mime_type": "image/jpeg"
        },
        {

6. Generación multimodal

Gemini puede generar imágenes de forma nativa con los modelos de imágenes de Nano Banana.

Python

import base64
from google import genai

client = genai.Client()

interaction = client.interactions.create(
    model="gemini-3.1-flash-image",
    input="Generate an image of a futuristic city skyline at sunset",
)

with open("generated_image.png", "wb") as f:
    f.write(base64.b64decode(interaction.output_image.data))

JavaScript

import { GoogleGenAI } from "@google/genai";
import * as fs from "node:fs";

const ai = new GoogleGenAI({});

const interaction = await ai.interactions.create({
  model: "gemini-3.1-flash-image",
  input: "Generate an image of a futuristic city skyline at sunset",
});

const generatedImage = interaction.output_image;
if (generatedImage) {
  const buffer = Buffer.from(generatedImage.data, "base64");
  fs.writeFileSync("generated_image.png", buffer);
}

REST

curl -s -X POST "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/interactions" \
  -H "x-goog-api-key: $GEMINI_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H "Api-Revision: 2026-05-20" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gemini-3.1-flash-image",
    "input": [
      {"type": "text", "text": "Generate an image of a futuristic city skyline at sunset"}
    ]
  }'

Respuesta:

{
  "id": "v1_Chd...",
  "status": "completed",
  "steps": [
    {
      "type": "model_output",
      "content": [
        {
          "type": "image",
          "data": "BASE64_ENCODED_IMAGE",
          "mime_type": "image/png"
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "object": "interaction",
  "model": "gemini-3.1-flash-image",
}

Cuando el modelo genera una imagen, devuelve los datos de la imagen codificados en base64 en un paso dentro del array steps, así como a través de la propiedad de conveniencia output_image. Consulta la guía de generación de imágenes para obtener información sobre las relaciones de aspecto, la edición de imágenes y las referencias.

7. Usa resultados estructurados

Configura el modelo para que devuelva un objeto JSON que coincida con un esquema que definas. Los resultados estructurados funcionan con Pydantic (Python) y Zod (JavaScript).

Python

from google import genai
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
from typing import List, Optional

class Recipe(BaseModel):
    recipe_name: str = Field(description="Name of the recipe.")
    ingredients: List[str] = Field(description="List of ingredients.")
    prep_time_minutes: Optional[int] = Field(description="Prep time in minutes.")

client = genai.Client()

interaction = client.interactions.create(
    model="gemini-3.5-flash",
    input="Give me a recipe for banana bread",
    response_format={
        "type": "text",
        "mime_type": "application/json",
        "schema": Recipe.model_json_schema()
    },
)

recipe = Recipe.model_validate_json(interaction.output_text)
print(recipe)

JavaScript

import { GoogleGenAI } from "@google/genai";
import * as z from "zod";

const ai = new GoogleGenAI({});

const recipeJsonSchema = {
  type: "object",
  properties: {
    recipe_name: { type: "string", description: "Name of the recipe." },
    ingredients: {
      type: "array",
      items: { type: "string" },
      description: "List of ingredients."
    },
    prep_time_minutes: {
      type: "integer",
      description: "Prep time in minutes."
    }
  },
  required: ["recipe_name", "ingredients"]
};

const recipeSchema = z.fromJSONSchema(recipeJsonSchema);

const interaction = await ai.interactions.create({
  model: "gemini-3.5-flash",
  input: "Give me a recipe for banana bread",
  response_format: {
    type: "text",
    mime_type: "application/json",
    schema: recipeJsonSchema
  },
});

const recipe = recipeSchema.parse(JSON.parse(interaction.output_text));
console.log(recipe);

8. Usar herramientas

Fundamentar la respuesta del modelo en información en tiempo real con la Búsqueda de Google La API busca, procesa los resultados y devuelve las citas automáticamente.

Python

from google import genai

client = genai.Client()

interaction = client.interactions.create(
    model="gemini-3.5-flash",
    input="Who won the euro 2024?",
    tools=[{"type": "google_search"}]
)

print(interaction.output_text)

# Print citations
for step in interaction.steps:
    if step.type == "model_output":
        for content_block in step.content:
            if content_block.type == "text" and content_block.annotations:
                print("\nCitations:")
                for annotation in content_block.annotations:
                    if annotation.type == "url_citation":
                        print(f"  [{annotation.title}]({annotation.url})")

JavaScript

import { GoogleGenAI } from "@google/genai";

const ai = new GoogleGenAI({});

const interaction = await ai.interactions.create({
  model: "gemini-3.5-flash",
  input: "Who won the euro 2024?",
  tools: [{ type: "google_search" }]
});

console.log(interaction.output_text);

// Print citations
for (const step of interaction.steps) {
  if (step.type === "model_output") {
    for (const contentBlock of step.content) {
      if (contentBlock.type === "text" && contentBlock.annotations) {
        console.log("\nCitations:");
        for (const annotation of contentBlock.annotations) {
          if (annotation.type === "url_citation") {
            console.log(`  [${annotation.title}](${annotation.url})`);
          }

9. Llama a tus propias funciones

La llamada a función te permite conectar el modelo a tu código. Declaras el nombre y los parámetros de una función, el modelo decide cuándo llamarla y devuelve argumentos estructurados, y tú la ejecutas de forma local y envías el resultado.

Python

Sin estado

También puedes usar la llamada a función en modo sin estado administrando el historial de conversaciones del cliente y configurando store=false. En el modo sin estado, debes pasar el historial completo de la conversación en el campo input de cada solicitud posterior. Este historial debe incluir lo siguiente:

  1. Es el paso user_input inicial.
  2. Todos los pasos generados por el modelo que se devuelven en el turno 1 (incluidos los pasos thought y function_call) exactamente como se recibieron.
  3. El paso function_result que contiene el resultado de la función ejecutada.

Respuesta:

Durante el turno 1, el modelo devuelve una respuesta con el estado requires_action y el paso function_call:

{
  "id": "v1_Chd...",
  "status": "requires_action",
  "steps": [
    {
      "type": "function_call",
      "id": "call_abc123",
      "name": "get_current_temperature",

        "location": "London"
      }
    }
  ],
  "object": "interaction",
  "model": "gemini-3.5-flash"
}

Después de ejecutar la función de forma local y enviar el resultado (turno 2), se muestra la interacción final completada:

{
  "id": "v1_Chd...",
  "status": "completed",
  "steps": [
    {
      "type": "function_call",
      "id": "call_abc123",

10. Ejecuta un agente administrado

Los agentes administrados se ejecutan en una zona de pruebas remota con acceso a herramientas como la ejecución de código y la administración de archivos. Pasa un agent en lugar de un model y establece environment="remote".

Python

from google import genai

client = genai.Client()

interaction = client.interactions.create(
    agent="antigravity-preview-05-2026",
    input="Write a Python script that generates the first 20 Fibonacci numbers and saves them to fibonacci.txt. Then read the file and print its contents.",
    environment="remote",
)
print(f"Environment: {interaction.environment_id}")
print(interaction.output_text)

JavaScript

import { GoogleGenAI } from "@google/genai";

const ai = new GoogleGenAI({});

const interaction = await ai.interactions.create({
  agent: "antigravity-preview-05-2026",
  input: "Write a Python script that generates the first 20 Fibonacci numbers and saves them to fibonacci.txt. Then read the file and print its contents.",
  environment: "remote",
});
console.log(`Environment: ${interaction.environment_id}`);
console.log(interaction.output_text);

REST

curl -X POST "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/interactions" \
  -H "x-goog-api-key: $GEMINI_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H "Api-Revision: 2026-05-20" \
  -d '{
    "agent": "antigravity-preview-05-2026",
    "input": "Write a Python script that generates the first 20 Fibonacci numbers and saves them to fibonacci.txt. Then read the file and print its contents.",
    "environment": "remote"
  }'

También puedes definir y guardar agentes personalizados con tus propias instrucciones, habilidades y fuentes de datos.

11. Ejecutar tareas en segundo plano

Establece background=True para ejecutar tareas largas de forma asíncrona. Busca resultados con interactions.get().

Python

import time
from google import genai

client = genai.Client()

interaction = client.interactions.create(
    model="gemini-3.5-flash",
    input="Write a detailed analysis of the impact of artificial intelligence on modern healthcare.",
    background=True,

print(f"Started background task: {interaction.id}")
print(f"Status: {interaction.status}")

# Poll for completion
while True:
    result = client.interactions.get(interaction.id)
    print(f"Status: {result.status}")
    if result.status == "completed":
        print(f"\nResult:\n{result.output_text}")
        break
    elif result.status == "failed":
        print(f"Failed: {result.error}")
        break
    time.sleep(5)

JavaScript

console.log(`Started background task: ${interaction.id}`);
console.log(`Status: ${interaction.status}`);

// Poll for completion
while (true) {
  const result = await ai.interactions.get(interaction.id);
  console.log(`Status: ${result.status}`);

Respuesta:

La respuesta inicial se muestra de inmediato con el estado in_progress:

{
  "id": "v1_abc123",
  "status": "in_progress",
  "object": "interaction",
  "model": "gemini-3.5-flash"
}

Una vez que la tarea en segundo plano se ejecuta por completo, la verificación del estado de interacción devuelve lo siguiente:

{
  "id": "v1_abc123",
  "status": "completed",
  "steps": [
    {
      "type": "model_output",
      "content": [
        {
          "type": "text",
          "text": "Artificial intelligence has transformed modern healthcare in several..."
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "object": "interaction",
  "model": "gemini-3.5-flash",
}
