Getting Started with Gemini PHP

After installing Gemini PHP, you can start using it to interact with the Gemini AI platform. Here's a quick guide to get you started:

Initialize the Client

Create a new instance of GeminiClient with your configuration details:

use RPurinton\GeminiPHP\GeminiClient;

$client = new GeminiClient([
    'projectId' => 'your-project-id',
    'regionName' => 'your-region',
    'credentialsPath' => 'path-to-your-credentials.json',
    'modelName' => 'gemini-pro',
]);

Create a Prompt

Use GeminiPrompt to create a new prompt:

use RPurinton\GeminiPHP\GeminiPrompt;

$prompt = new GeminiPrompt([
    'generation_config' => [
        'temperature' => 0.7,
        'topP' => 0.9,
        'topK' => 40,
        'maxOutputTokens' => 2048,
    ],
    'contents' => [
        [
            'role' => 'user',
            'parts' => ['text' => 'Your input here'],
        ],
    ],
]);

Get a Response

Send the prompt to the Gemini API and receive a response:

$response = $client->getResponse($prompt->toJson());
$assistant_output = $response->getText();

Next Steps

Explore the various configuration options, experiment with different prompts, and integrate the responses into your application. For more detailed examples and API usage, refer to the example.php file and the rest of the documentation.
