Introduction

The G4F async client API is an asynchronous version of the standard G4F Client API. It offers the same functionality as the synchronous API but with improved performance due to its asynchronous nature. This guide will walk you through the key features and usage of the G4F async client API.

Key Features

Custom Providers: Use custom providers for enhanced flexibility.
ChatCompletion Interface: Interact with chat models through the ChatCompletion class.
Streaming Responses: Get responses iteratively as they are received.
Non-Streaming Responses: Generate complete responses in a single call.
Image Generation and Vision Models: Support for image-related tasks.

Getting Started

Initializing the Client

To use the G4F Client, create a new instance:

from g4f.client import Client
from g4f.Provider import OpenaiChat, Gemini

client = Client(
    provider=OpenaiChat,
    image_provider=Gemini,
    # Add other parameters as needed
)

Creating Chat Completions

Here’s an improved example of creating chat completions:

response = await async_client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o-mini",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Say this is a test"
        }
    ]
     # Add other parameters as needed
)

This example:

Asks a specific question Say this is a test
Configures various parameters like temperature and max_tokens for more control over the output
Disables streaming for a complete response

You can adjust these parameters based on your specific needs.

Configuration

Configure the Client with additional settings:

client = Client(
    api_key="your_api_key_here",
    proxies="http://user:pass@host",
    # Add other parameters as needed
)

Usage Examples

Text Completions

Generate text completions using the ChatCompletions endpoint:

import asyncio
from g4f.client import Client

async def main():
    client = Client()
    
    response = await client.chat.completions.async_create(
        model="gpt-4o-mini",
        messages=[
            {
                "role": "user",
                "content": "Say this is a test"
            }
        ]
    )
    
    print(response.choices[0].message.content)

asyncio.run(main())

Streaming Completions

Process responses incrementally as they are generated:

import asyncio
from g4f.client import Client

async def main():
    client = Client()
    
    stream = await client.chat.completions.async_create(
        model="gpt-4",
        messages=[
            {
                "role": "user",
                "content": "Say this is a test"
            }
        ],
        stream=True,
    )
    
    async for chunk in stream:
        if chunk.choices[0].delta.content:
            print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content, end="")

asyncio.run(main())

Using a Vision Model

Analyze an image and generate a description:

import g4f
import requests
import asyncio
from g4f.client import Client

async def main():
    client = Client()
    
    image = requests.get("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xtekky/gpt4free/refs/heads/main/docs/cat.jpeg", stream=True).raw
    
    response = await client.chat.completions.async_create(
        model=g4f.models.default,
        provider=g4f.Provider.Bing,
        messages=[
            {
                "role": "user",
                "content": "What's in this image?"
            }
        ],
        image=image
    )
    
    print(response.choices[0].message.content)

asyncio.run(main())

Image Generation

Generate images using a specified prompt:

import asyncio
from g4f.client import Client

async def main():
    client = Client()
    
    response = await client.images.async_generate(
        prompt="a white siamese cat",
        model="flux"
    )
    
    image_url = response.data[0].url
    print(f"Generated image URL: {image_url}")

asyncio.run(main())

Base64 Response Format

import asyncio
from g4f.client import Client

async def main():
    client = Client()
    
    response = await client.images.async_generate(
        prompt="a white siamese cat",
        model="flux",
        response_format="b64_json"
    )
    
    base64_text = response.data[0].b64_json
    print(base64_text)

asyncio.run(main())

Concurrent Tasks with asyncio.gather

Execute multiple tasks concurrently:

import asyncio
from g4f.client import Client

async def main():
    client = Client()
    
    task1 = client.chat.completions.async_create(
        model="gpt-4o-mini",
        messages=[
            {
                "role": "user",
                "content": "Say this is a test"
            }
        ]
    )
    
    task2 = client.images.async_generate(
        model="flux",
        prompt="a white siamese cat"
    )
    
    chat_response, image_response = await asyncio.gather(task1, task2)
    
    print("Chat Response:")
    print(chat_response.choices[0].message.content)
    
    print("Image Response:")
    print(image_response.data[0].url)

asyncio.run(main())

Available Models and Providers

The G4F AsyncClient supports a wide range of AI models and providers, allowing you to choose the best option for your specific use case. Here's a brief overview of the available models and providers:

Models

GPT-3.5-Turbo
GPT-4o-Mini
GPT-4
DALL-E 3
Gemini
Claude (Anthropic)
And more...

Providers

OpenAI
Google (for Gemini)
Anthropic
Bing
Custom providers

To use a specific model or provider, specify it when creating the client or in the API call:

client = AsyncClient(provider=g4f.Provider.OpenaiChat)

# or

response = await client.chat.completions.async_create(
    model="gpt-4",
    provider=g4f.Provider.Bing,
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Hello, world!"
        }
    ]
)

Error Handling and Best Practices

Implementing proper error handling and following best practices is crucial when working with the G4F AsyncClient API. This ensures your application remains robust and can gracefully handle various scenarios. Here are some key practices to follow:

Use try-except blocks to catch and handle exceptions:

try:
response = await client.chat.completions.async_create(
    model="gpt-4o-mini",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Hello, world!"
        }
    ]
)
except Exception as e:
print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

Check the response status and handle different scenarios:

if response.choices:
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
else:
print("No response generated")

Implement retries for transient errors: ```python import asyncio from tenacity import retry, stop_after_attempt, wait_exponential

@retry(stop=stop_after_attempt(3), wait=wait_exponential(multiplier=1, min=4, max=10)) async def make_api_call():

# Your API call here
pass


  

## Rate Limiting and API Usage
When working with the G4F AsyncClient API, it's important to implement rate limiting and monitor your API usage. This helps ensure fair usage, prevents overloading the service, and optimizes your application's performance. Here are some key strategies to consider:
  

1. **Implement rate limiting in your application:**
```python
import asyncio
from aiolimiter import AsyncLimiter

rate_limit = AsyncLimiter(max_rate=10, time_period=1)  # 10 requests per second

async def make_api_call():
    async with rate_limit:
        # Your API call here
        pass

Monitor your API usage and implement logging: ```python import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO) logger = logging.getLogger(name)

async def make_api_call():

try:
    response = await client.chat.completions.async_create(...)
    logger.info(f"API call successful. Tokens used: {response.usage.total_tokens}")
except Exception as e:
    logger.error(f"API call failed: {e}")


  

3. **Use caching to reduce API calls for repeated queries:**
```python
from functools import lru_cache

@lru_cache(maxsize=100)
def get_cached_response(query):
    # Your API call here
    pass

Conclusion

The G4F async client API provides a powerful and flexible way to interact with various AI models asynchronously. By leveraging its features and following best practices, you can build efficient and responsive applications that harness the power of AI for text generation, image analysis, and image creation.

Remember to handle errors gracefully, implement rate limiting, and monitor your API usage to ensure optimal performance and reliability in your applications.
