Set Up Your Google Cloud Account
- First, ensure you have a Google Cloud account. If not, create one at Google Cloud Platform.
- After logging in, navigate to the Google Cloud Console and create a new project by selecting the dropdown at the top-left of the page.
- Give your project a meaningful name and note the Project ID (you'll need this later).
Enable the Necessary APIs
- In the Google Cloud Console, go to the "APIs & Services" section and click on "Library."
- Search for the particular AI services you intend to use (e.g., "Cloud Vision API", "Natural Language API") and enable them for your project.
- Check the project's billing setup as some services require additional billing information.
Create Service Account and Get Credentials
- Navigate to "IAM & Admin" in the Google Cloud Console, then click on "Service Accounts."
- Create a new Service Account, providing a name and description to identify it.
- Assign roles related to the AI services you want to use. For example, if using Vision AI, you would assign the "Cloud Vision API User" role.
- After creating, download the service account key in JSON format to your local machine; this will be used in your application.
Integrate the Google Cloud AI with Wix
- Ensure your Wix site allows custom code injection. Upgrade to a Wix Premium account if necessary.
- On your Wix site dashboard, navigate to the page where you want the integration and open the Editor.
- Click on "Add" then "Embed" and select "Embed a Widget." This will generate an HTML component where you can input custom code.
<button id="analyzeButton">Analyze Image</button>
<script>
document.getElementById('analyzeButton').onclick = async function() {
const file = /* file data from a file input */;
const response = await fetch('https://vision.googleapis.com/v1/images:annotate?key=YOUR_API_KEY', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
requests: [
{
image: {
content: file
},
features: [
{
type: 'LABEL_DETECTION'
}
]
}
]
})
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
}
</script>
- Replace `YOUR_API_KEY` with your actual API Key from Google Cloud Console.
- Adjust the code to handle specific AI tasks, such as image recognition or natural language processing, following the Google AI documentation.
Test and Deploy
- Preview your Wix site and test the Google Cloud AI integration to ensure it functions as expected.
- Debug any issues that arise, using browser console for tracking errors or network problems.
- Once satisfied, publish your site for the integration to go live to users.
