Hi there first and foremost this is my first time using Googles services. I'm trying to develop an app with the Google AutoML Vision Api (Custom Model). I have already build a custom model and generated the API keys(I hope I did it correctly tho).
After many attempts of developing via Ionics & Android and failing to connect to the to the API.
I have now taken the prediction modelling given codes in Python (on Google Colab) and even with that I still get an error message saying that Could not automatically determine credentials. I'm not sure where I have gone wrong in this. Please help. Dying.
#installing & importing libraries
!pip3 install google-cloud-automl

from google.cloud import automl_v1beta1
from google.cloud.automl_v1beta1.proto import service_pb2
#import key.json file generated by GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
from google.colab import files
credentials = files.upload()
#explicit function given by Google accounts

def explicit():
from google.cloud import storage
# Explicitly use service account credentials by specifying the private key
# file.
storage_client = storage.Client.from_service_account_json(credentials)
# Make an authenticated API request
buckets = list(storage_client.list_buckets())
print(buckets)
#import image for prediction
from google.colab import files
YOUR_LOCAL_IMAGE_FILE = files.upload()
#prediction code from modelling
def get_prediction(content, project_id, model_id):
prediction_client = automl_v1beta1.PredictionServiceClient()
name = 'projects/{}/locations/uscentral1/models/{}'.format(project_id,
model_id)
payload = {'image': {'image_bytes': content }}
params = {}
request = prediction_client.predict(name, payload, params)
return request # waits till request is returned
#print function substitute with values
content = YOUR_LOCAL_IMAGE_FILE
project_id = "REDACTED_PROJECT_ID"
model_id = "REDACTED_MODEL_ID"
print (get_prediction(content, project_id, model_id))

credentials = files.upload()
storage_client = storage.Client.from_service_account_json(credentials)
these two lines are the issue I think. The first one actually loads the contents of the file, but the second one expects a path to a file, instead of the contents.
Lets tackle the first line first:
I see that just passing the credentials
you get after calling credentials = files.upload()
will not work as explained in the docs for it. Doing it like you're doing, the credentials
don't actually contain the value of the file directly, but rather a dictionary for filenames & contents.
Assuming you're only uploading the 1 credentials file, you can get the contents of the file like this (stolen from this SO answer):
from google.colab import files
uploaded = files.upload()
credentials_as_string = uploaded[uploaded.keys()[0]]
So now we actually have the contents of the uploaded file as a string, next step is to create an actual credentials object out of it.
This answer on Github shows how to create a credentials object from a string converted to json.
import json
from google.oauth2 import service_account
credentials_as_dict = json.loads(credentials_as_string)
credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_info(credentials_as_dict)
Finally we can create the storage client object using this credentials object:
storage_client = storage.Client(credentials=credentials)
Please note I've not tested this though, so please give it a go and see if it actually works.
