View service status and endpoints

You use pre-trained API endpoints to interact with Vertex AI services programmatically. For example, you need the endpoint when using a Vertex AI pre-trained model in a JupyterLab notebook or interacting with a pre-trained API from the command-line interface.

Follow these steps to view the status and endpoints of the Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Speech-to-Text, and Translation pre-trained APIs:

  1. Sign in to the GDC console.
  2. On the navigation menu, click Vertex AI > Pre-trained APIs.

  3. On the Pre-trained APIs page, you can review the following information:

    • View the status of each pre-trained API on the central panel. The status is either Enabled or Not enabled. If the status is Not enabled, you can enable the corresponding API. For more information, see Provision GPUs and enable Vertex AI pre-trained APIs.

    • If the status of an API is Enabled, you can view its endpoint on the central panel. To use this endpoint for programmatically interacting with the Vertex AI service, click Copy to copy it to your clipboard.

If the system fails to enable the API, the page displays information to help you troubleshoot the issue.
