How to use api_transport "REST"? in Agent #1

Closed

Description

@natarajan0007

When authenticating with the Vertex AI API, I typically use api_transport = "rest", which works well with libraries like LangChain or the Vertex AI SDK. However, in my current enterprise environment, gRPC is blocked due to SSL-related issues. I'm now looking for a way to explicitly use REST as the transport method to interact with the Vertex AI API.

I couldn't find anything in the docs. could you please share it.

This is great stuff from google !.

Ex:
from langchain_google_vertexai import ChatVertexAI

llm = ChatVertexAI(
model_name=MODEL_NAME,
project=VERTEX_PROJECT_ID,
location=VERTEX_LOCATION,
temperature=0.0, # Low temp for predictable SQL generation/tool use
# streaming=True, # Enable streaming from the LLM if desired (handled by graph.stream later)
api_transport="rest", # Often default, explicitly set if needed
)

    Hi Natarajan, thanks for reaching out! ADK is indeed using REST to communicate with Model server.

    @Jacksunwei Thanks for letting me know. I have gone through the source code. it looks like you wrote all the client interaction through httpx lib. I would like to know is there way to parse the SSL_CERT_FILE information in the Agent SDK . Do you have an example how to do that?

    My Zscaler Inspecting SSL traffic for all the traffic goes to google API . I need to use google pem file. I don't have clue where to call this in Agent SDK. If i figure out i will keep posted here.

    google.auth.exceptions.TransportError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='oauth2.googleapis.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /token (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1000)')))

    i found the root cause why SSL Verification failing in enterprise network . Below is the open issue which was raised genai package where its being used in Agent Development Kit
