PaLM API Overview

The PaLM API is the legacy API that allowed developers access to Google's large language models such as text-bison-001. If you're just starting your journey with large language models, check out the Gemini API overview to access the latest API and models. If you need to migrate your apps to use the new Gemini API, see the migration guide for steps on how to migrate your code.

The following sections provide links to the legacy tutorials and guides for the PaLM API.
