Intention
SetKey Command: Authenticating Your Script
The SetKey Command is your gateway to unlocking the Google Generative AI API�s capabilities within your script.
It authenticates your access to Google�s cloud-based AI services, enabling Commands like AIG.Ask.
It�s part of the API Key Management suite within AIG.
What is the SetKey Command?
The SetKey Command initializes your script by setting the AIG_APIKey global variable with your Google API key.
It supports multiple methods: direct key input, loading from an encrypted file, or reading from a text file.
Why Do You Need It?
This Command is essential because:
•Authorization: It validates your access to Google�s cloud-based AI services.
•Flexibility: Offers multiple ways to provide the key securely.
•Prerequisite: Required before using any AIG API Commands.
How to Use the SetKey Command?
Use this Command at the start of your script to authenticate with one of these methods:
?Direct Key: Specify the API key directly in the script.
?Encrypted File: Load from an encrypted file created by AIG.Save Key (preferred for security).
?Text File: Read from a plain text file, useful for sharing executables.
Example Usage
1. Direct Key:
$$KEY=gsk-xyz1234567890abcdef
AIG.Set Key|$$KEY
DBP.Key set directly
2. From Encrypted File:
AIG.Set Key|from_File
DBP.Key loaded from ?exeloc\AIG_License_Key.dat
3. From Text File:
AIG.Set Key|from_Text|C:\Keys\MyGoogleKey.txt
DBP.Key loaded from custom text file
or
4. From Any:
AIG.Set Key|from Any
DBP.Key loaded from wherever it was found (File or Text)
