Interacciones de transmisión

Cuando creas una interacción, puedes configurar stream: true para transmitir la respuesta de forma incremental con eventos enviados por el servidor (SSE).

Python

from google import genai

client = genai.Client()

stream = client.interactions.create(
    model="gemini-3-flash-preview",
    input="Count to from 1 to 25.",
    stream=True,
)
for event in stream:
    if event.event_type == "step.delta":
        if event.delta.type == "text":
            print(event.delta.text, end="", flush=True)

JavaScript

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

const client = new GoogleGenAI({});

const stream = await client.interactions.create({
    model: "gemini-3-flash-preview",
    input: "Count to from 1 to 25.",
    stream: true,
});
for await (const event of stream) {
    if (event.event_type === "step.delta") {
        if (event.delta.type === "text") {
            process.stdout.write(event.delta.text);
        }
    }
}

Tipos de eventos

Cada evento enviado por el servidor incluye un event_type con nombre y datos JSON asociados. La API de Interactions usa un modelo de transmisión simétrico en el que todo el contenido (texto, llamadas a herramientas y razonamiento) fluye a través de un evento basado en pasos coherente.

Cada transmisión sigue este flujo de eventos:

  1. interaction.created: Se crea la interacción y se incluyen metadatos (ID, modelo y estado).
  2. Una serie de pasos, cada uno de los cuales consta de lo siguiente:
    • Un evento step.start, que indica el tipo de paso (p.ej., model_output, thought, function_call).
    • Uno o más eventos step.delta con datos incrementales para ese paso.
    • Un evento step.stop que marca el paso como completado.
  3. Un evento interaction.completed con estadísticas usage finales.

Cuando configuras stream: false, la API muestra un solo objeto interaction con un array steps. Cada elemento de steps es la versión completamente ensamblada de un ciclo step.start → step.delta(s) → step.stop.

interaction.created

Se envía cuando se crea la interacción por primera vez. Contiene el ID de la interacción, el modelo y el estado inicial.

event: interaction.created
data: {"interaction": {"id": "...", "model": "gemini-3-flash-preview", "status": "in_progress", "object": "interaction"}, "event_type": "interaction.created"}

interaction.status_update

Indica una transición de estado a nivel de la interacción. Puede aparecer entre los pasos.

event: interaction.status_update
data: {"interaction_id": "...", "status": "in_progress", "event_type": "interaction.status_update"}

step.start

Marca el comienzo de un nuevo paso. Contiene el type y el index del paso. El tipo de paso determina qué tipos de delta se deben esperar y cómo aparece el paso en una respuesta que no es de transmisión:

Tipo de paso Tipos de delta esperados Descripción
model_output text, image, audio El contenido de la respuesta final del modelo.
thought thought_signature, thought_summary Razonamiento de cadena de pensamientos. summary solo está presente cuando se habilitan thinking_summaries.
function_call arguments_delta Una solicitud para que el cliente ejecute una función. Establece el estado de la interacción en requires_action.
Herramientas del servidor Varía según la herramienta Herramientas ejecutadas por la API (p.ej., google_search_call, google_search_result, code_execution_call, code_execution_result).

Consulta la referencia de la API de Interactions para obtener la lista completa.

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

Para las llamadas a funciones, el paso incluye el nombre de la función, el ID y los argumentos vacíos {}.

event: step.start
data: {"index": 0, "step": {"type": "function_call", "id":"un6k8t18", "name": "get_weather", "arguments":{}}, "event_type": "step.start"}

step.delta

Datos incrementales para el paso actual. El objeto delta contiene un campo type que determina su forma.

Ejemplos:

text: Token de texto incremental de un paso model_output:

event: step.delta
data: {"index": 0, "delta": {"type": "text", "text": "Hello, my name is Phil"}, "event_type": "step.delta"}

event: step.delta
data: {"index": 0, "delta": {"type": "text", "text": ", and I live in Germany." }, "event_type": "step.delta"}

image: Datos de imagen codificados en base64 de un paso model_output:

event: step.delta
data: {"index": 0, "delta": {"type": "image", "mime_type": "image/jpeg", "data": "/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wBDAAoHBwgHBgoICAgLCg..."}, "event_type": "step.delta"}

thought_summary: Contenido de resumen de razonamiento de un paso thought:

event: step.delta
data: {"index": 0, "delta": {"type": "thought_summary", "content": {"type": "text", "text": "I need to find the GCD..."}}, "event_type": "step.delta"}

arguments_delta: Cadena JSON (parcial) para los argumentos de la llamada a función. Se debe acumular en los deltas:

event: step.delta
data: {"index": 0, "delta": {"type": "arguments_delta", "arguments": "{\"location\": \"San Francisco, CA\"}"}, "event_type": "step.delta"}

Estos son algunos de los tipos de delta más comunes. Para obtener la lista completa de todos los tipos de delta, consulta la referencia de la API de Interactions.

step.stop

Marca el final de un paso. Contiene el index del paso.

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

interaction.completed

Se envía cuando finaliza la interacción. Contiene el objeto de interacción final con estadísticas usage. En el modo que no es de transmisión, este es el objeto de respuesta de nivel superior. No incluye steps en la respuesta.

event: interaction.completed
data: {"interaction": {"id": "v1_abc123", "status": "completed", "usage": {"total_input_tokens": 7, "total_output_tokens": 12, "total_tokens": 19}}, "event_type": "interaction.completed"}

error

Se envía cuando se produce un error durante la interacción. Contiene un objeto de error con un mensaje y un código.

event: error
data: {"error":{"message":"Deadline expired before operation could complete.","code":"gateway_timeout"},"event_type":"error"}

Transmisión con herramientas

La API de Interactions admite la transmisión con herramientas del cliente (llamada a función) y herramientas del servidor (Búsqueda de Google, ejecución de código, etcétera) en una sola solicitud. Durante la transmisión, las invocaciones de herramientas aparecen como pasos tipados en el flujo de eventos. Para las llamadas a funciones, el evento step.start entrega el nombre de la función y los eventos step.delta transmiten los argumentos como cadenas JSON (arguments_delta). Debes acumular estos deltas para obtener los argumentos completos. La API ejecuta automáticamente las herramientas del servidor, como la Búsqueda de Google, y produce pasos google_search_call y google_search_result.

Transmisión con llamada a función

Para realizar la llamada a función con transmisión, el cliente debe controlar una conversación de varios turnos: 1. Turno 1 (solicitud de función): Llama a interactions.create con stream: true y tus tools definidas. La API transmitirá un paso function_call. Debes acumular las cadenas JSON de argumentos incrementales (arguments_delta) de los eventos step.delta hasta que la interacción se complete con el estado requires_action. 2. Turno 2 (envío del resultado): Vuelve a llamar a interactions.create, pasa el previous_interaction_id (que coincide con el ID de la primera interacción) y envía un bloque function_result dentro del array input. Esto reanuda la transmisión, lo que permite que el modelo genere su respuesta final.

Transmisión con razonamiento

Cuando el modelo usa el razonamiento, recibirás pasos thought con dos tipos de delta distintos: thought_summary (contenido de resumen de texto o imagen incremental) y thought_signature (una representación encriptada del razonamiento interno del modelo, que se envía como el último delta antes de step.stop). Si se habilita thinking_summaries, los deltas thought_summary transmiten un resumen del razonamiento del modelo. Para obtener más detalles sobre el razonamiento, consulta la guía de razonamiento.

Transmisión con agentes

La API de Interactions admite agentes como Deep Research. Los agentes usan background=True y muestran resultados de forma asíncrona, pero también puedes transmitir interacciones de agentes para recibir actualizaciones de progreso y pasos intermedios a medida que ocurren. Para obtener más detalles, consulta la guía de Deep Research.

Python

from google import genai

client = genai.Client()

stream = client.interactions.create(
    agent="deep-research-preview-04-2026",
    input="Research the latest advances in quantum computing.",
    stream=True,
    background=True,
    agent_config={
        "type": "deep-research",
        "thinking_summaries": "auto"
    }
)
for event in stream:
    if event.event_type == "step.start":
        print(f"\n--- Step: {event.step.type} ---")
    elif event.event_type == "step.delta":
        if event.delta.type == "text":

Transmisión de generación de imágenes

La API de Interactions admite la transmisión de varias modalidades de salida de forma simultánea. Si solicitas text y image en response_format, puedes recibir texto intercalado y generar imágenes en la misma transmisión.

En el siguiente ejemplo, se usa gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview (Nano Banana 2) para buscar información y generar una historia con ilustraciones intercaladas.

Python

from google import genai

client = genai.Client()

stream = client.interactions.create(
    model="gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview",
    tools=[{"type": "google_search", "search_types": ["web_search", "image_search"]}],
    input="Search for the history of the Colosseum and write a short illustrated story about a gladiator named Marcus. Interleave text and generated images.",
    response_format=[
        {"type": "text"},
        {"type": "image"}
    ],
    stream=True,
)

for event in stream:
    if event.event_type == "step.delta":
        if event.delta.type == "text":
            print(event.delta.text, end="", flush=True)
        elif event.delta.type == "image":
            print(f"\n[Image chunk: {len(event.delta.data)} bytes]", end="", flush=True)

JavaScript

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

const client = new GoogleGenAI({});

const stream = await client.interactions.create({
    model: "gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview",
    tools: [{ type: "google_search", search_types: ["web_search", "image_search"] }],
    input: "Search for the history of the Colosseum and write a short illustrated story about a gladiator named Marcus. Interleave text and generated images.",
    response_format: [
        { type: "text" },
        { type: "image" }
    ],
    stream: true,
});

for await (const event of stream) {
    if (event.event_type === "step.delta") {
        if (event.delta.type === "text") {
            process.stdout.write(event.delta.text);
        } else if (event.delta.type === "image") {

Cómo controlar eventos desconocidos

De acuerdo con la política de control de versiones de la API, es posible que se agreguen nuevos tipos de eventos y tipos de delta con el tiempo. Tu código debe controlar los tipos de eventos desconocidos de forma correcta: registra y omite los eventos que no reconozcas en lugar de generar un error.

¿Qué sigue?
