Welcome to the Google Bard API project! This repository contains a FastAPI wrapper designed to seamlessly interact with 🤖 Google Bard, a remarkable conversational AI developed by Google. The project encompasses a comprehensive library for effortlessly dispatching requests to Google Bard, along with a streamlined API server that empowers you to interact with Bard through a REST API. This exceptional fusion of resources facilitates the integration of Bard's capabilities into your applications or services via a single, straightforward API endpoint.

Let's embark on a journey to set up and launch the project on your local machine for developmental and testing purposes.

Before we dive in, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

• Python 3.9 or newer 🐍
• Docker 🐳

1. Begin by cloning the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ra83205/google-bard-api.git
   cd google-bard-api

2. Create a virtual environment and install the necessary packages:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Launch the application using Uvicorn:

   uvicorn main:app --reload --port 8000

   Your application should now be live at http://localhost:8000.

To utilize the power of the Google Bard API, follow these steps:

1. Obtain the cookies as mentioned on bard.google.com from an authorized session. These cookies will be used to send POST requests to the /ask endpoint, accompanied by a message in a JSON payload. Make sure to include the session_id, which corresponds to the __Secure-1PSID cookie, in your request.

2. Example request using cURL:

   curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/ask" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"session_id":"your-session-id","message":"What is the meaning of life?"}'

3. Example request using Postman:

   • Open Postman and choose the "POST" method

   • Enter the URL: http://localhost:8000/ask

   • In the "Headers" tab, add a new key-value pair: Content-Type: application/json

   • In the "Body" tab, select the "raw" option and input the following JSON payload:

     {
       "session_id": "your-session-id",
       "message": "What is the meaning of life?"
     }

   • Click "Send" to submit the request. You'll receive a JSON response from Google Bard containing the response message.

   Note: To secure the /ask endpoint with an authentication key, set the USER_AUTH_KEY environment variable to a string value of your choice. The authentication key will be cross-referenced against the Authorization header of incoming requests.

To deploy this application using Docker, embark on the following steps:

1. Construct the Docker image:

   docker build -t your-image-name .

2. Initiate the Docker container:

   docker run -p 8000:80 your-image-name

   The application will be accessible at http://localhost:8000.
