Geração de texto

A API Gemini pode gerar saída de texto de várias entradas, incluindo texto, imagens, vídeo e áudio, usando os modelos Gemini.

Confira um exemplo básico que usa uma única entrada de texto:

Python

from google import genai

client = genai.Client(api_key="GEMINI_API_KEY")

response = client.models.generate_content(
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    contents=["How does AI work?"]
)
print(response.text)

JavaScript

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

const ai = new GoogleGenAI({ apiKey: "GEMINI_API_KEY" });

async function main() {
  const response = await ai.models.generateContent({
    model: "gemini-2.0-flash",
    contents: "How does AI work?",
  });
  console.log(response.text);
}

await main();

Go

package main

import (
  "context"
  "fmt"
  "os"
  "google.golang.org/genai"
)

func main() {

  ctx := context.Background()
  client, _ := genai.NewClient(ctx, &genai.ClientConfig{
      APIKey:  os.Getenv("GEMINI_API_KEY"),
      Backend: genai.BackendGeminiAPI,
  })

  result, _ := client.Models.GenerateContent(
      ctx,
      "gemini-2.0-flash",
      genai.Text("Explain how AI works in a few words"),
      nil,
  )

  fmt.Println(result.Text())
}

REST

curl "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-2.0-flash:generateContent?key=$GEMINI_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -X POST \
  -d '{
    "contents": [
      {
        "parts": [
          {
            "text": "How does AI work?"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }'

Apps Script

// See https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/properties
// for instructions on how to set the API key.
const apiKey = PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().getProperty('GEMINI_API_KEY');

function main() {
  const payload = {
    contents: [
      {
        parts: [
          { text: 'How AI does work?' },
        ],
      },
    ],
  };

  const url = `https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-2.0-flash:generateContent?key=${apiKey}`;
  const options = {
    method: 'POST',
    contentType: 'application/json',
    payload: JSON.stringify(payload)
  };

  const response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
  const data = JSON.parse(response);
  const content = data['candidates'][0]['content']['parts'][0]['text'];
  console.log(content);
}

Instruções e configurações do sistema

É possível orientar o comportamento dos modelos do Gemini com instruções do sistema. Para fazer isso, transmita um objeto GenerateContentConfig.

Python

from google import genai
from google.genai import types

client = genai.Client(api_key="GEMINI_API_KEY")

response = client.models.generate_content(
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    config=types.GenerateContentConfig(
        system_instruction="You are a cat. Your name is Neko."),
    contents="Hello there"
)

print(response.text)

JavaScript

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

const ai = new GoogleGenAI({ apiKey: "GEMINI_API_KEY" });

async function main() {
  const response = await ai.models.generateContent({
    model: "gemini-2.0-flash",
    contents: "Hello there",
    config: {
      systemInstruction: "You are a cat. Your name is Neko.",
    },
  });
  console.log(response.text);
}

await main();

Go

package main

import (
  "context"
  "fmt"
  "os"
  "google.golang.org/genai"
)

func main() {

  ctx := context.Background()
  client, _ := genai.NewClient(ctx, &genai.ClientConfig{
      APIKey:  os.Getenv("GEMINI_API_KEY"),
      Backend: genai.BackendGeminiAPI,
  })

  config := &genai.GenerateContentConfig{
      SystemInstruction: genai.NewContentFromText("You are a cat. Your name is Neko.", genai.RoleUser),
  }

  result, _ := client.Models.GenerateContent(
      ctx,
      "gemini-2.0-flash",
      genai.Text("Hello there"),
      config,
  )

  fmt.Println(result.Text())
}

REST

curl "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-2.0-flash:generateContent?key=$GEMINI_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{

          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }'

Apps Script

// See https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/properties
// for instructions on how to set the API key.
const apiKey = PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().getProperty('GEMINI_API_KEY');

function main() {
  const systemInstruction = {
    parts: [{
      text: 'You are a cat. Your name is Neko.'
    }]
  };

  const payload = {
    systemInstruction,
    contents: [
      {
        parts: [
          { text: 'Hello there' },
        ],
      },
    ],
  };

  const url = `https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-2.0-flash:generateContent?key=${apiKey}`;
  const options = {
    method: 'POST',
    contentType: 'application/json',
    payload: JSON.stringify(payload)
  };

  const response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
  const data = JSON.parse(response);
  const content = data['candidates'][0]['content']['parts'][0]['text'];
  console.log(content);
}

O objeto GenerateContentConfig também permite substituir parâmetros de geração padrão, como temperature.

Entradas multimodais

A API Gemini oferece suporte a entradas multimodais, permitindo combinar texto com arquivos de mídia. O exemplo a seguir demonstra como fornecer uma imagem:

Python

from PIL import Image
from google import genai

client = genai.Client(api_key="GEMINI_API_KEY")

image = Image.open("/path/to/organ.png")
response = client.models.generate_content(
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    contents=[image, "Tell me about this instrument"]
)
print(response.text)

JavaScript

import {
  GoogleGenAI,
  createUserContent,
  createPartFromUri,
} from "@google/genai";

const ai = new GoogleGenAI({ apiKey: "GEMINI_API_KEY" });

async function main() {
  const image = await ai.files.upload({
    file: "/path/to/organ.png",
  });
  const response = await ai.models.generateContent({
    model: "gemini-2.0-flash",
    contents: [
      createUserContent([
        "Tell me about this instrument",
        createPartFromUri(image.uri, image.mimeType),
      ]),
    ],
  });
  console.log(response.text);
}

await main();

Go

package main

import (
  "context"
  "fmt"
  "os"
  "google.golang.org/genai"
)

func main() {

  ctx := context.Background()
  client, _ := genai.NewClient(ctx, &genai.ClientConfig{
      APIKey:  os.Getenv("GEMINI_API_KEY"),
      Backend: genai.BackendGeminiAPI,
  })

  imagePath := "/path/to/organ.jpg"
  imgData, _ := os.ReadFile(imagePath)

  parts := []*genai.Part{
      genai.NewPartFromText("Tell me about this instrument"),
      &genai.Part{
          InlineData: &genai.Blob{
              MIMEType: "image/jpeg",
              Data:     imgData,
          },
      },
  }

  contents := []*genai.Content{
      genai.NewContentFromParts(parts, genai.RoleUser),
  }

  result, _ := client.Models.GenerateContent(
      ctx,
      "gemini-2.0-flash",

Para métodos alternativos de envio de imagens e processamento de imagens mais avançado, consulte nosso guia de compreensão de imagens. A API também oferece suporte a entradas e compreensão de documentos, vídeos e áudio.

Respostas de streaming

Por padrão, o modelo retorna uma resposta somente depois que todo o processo de geração é concluído.

Para interações mais fluidas, use a transmissão para receber instâncias de GenerateContentResponse de forma incremental conforme são geradas.

Python

from google import genai

client = genai.Client(api_key="GEMINI_API_KEY")

response = client.models.generate_content_stream(
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    contents=["Explain how AI works"]
)
for chunk in response:
    print(chunk.text, end="")

JavaScript

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

const ai = new GoogleGenAI({ apiKey: "GEMINI_API_KEY" });

async function main() {
  const response = await ai.models.generateContentStream({
    model: "gemini-2.0-flash",
    contents: "Explain how AI works",
  });

  for await (const chunk of response) {

  }
}

await main();

Conversas com vários turnos (chat)

Nossos SDKs oferecem funcionalidade para coletar várias rodadas de comandos e respostas em uma conversa, facilitando o acompanhamento do histórico da conversa.

Python

from google import genai

client = genai.Client(api_key="GEMINI_API_KEY")
chat = client.chats.create(model="gemini-2.0-flash")

response = chat.send_message("I have 2 dogs in my house.")

print(response.text)

for message in chat.get_history():

Práticas recomendadas

Dicas de comandos

Para a geração de texto básica, um comando zero-shot muitas vezes é suficiente sem precisar de exemplos, instruções do sistema ou formatação específica.

Para saídas mais personalizadas:

Consulte nosso guia de engenharia de comandos para mais dicas.

Resposta estruturada

Em alguns casos, talvez seja necessário uma saída estruturada, como JSON. Consulte nosso guia de saída estruturada para saber como fazer isso.
