Introduction

This is a small CLI tool that will allow you to easily insert and check the status of training models with the Google Cloud Prediction API.

Requirements

You must have Node v5+ (this was written with ES6 in mind, so it will not work on older versions of node.)

Installation

$ npm install -g google-cloud-prediction-cli

This will install the command prediction as a symlink to your bash profile.

Usage

Google Cloud Prediction API

  A simple tool to insert and check on the status of training models.

Options

  -i, --insert            Command to insert a new training model.
  -s, --status            Command to check the training status of an existing model.
  -p, --project string    Project ID to use
  -m, --model string      Location of the model in Google Cloud Storage. Example:
                          some_bucket/my_file.txt
  -o, --model-id string   ID to associate with the model to create (can be any unique string that's
                          easy to remember)
  -h, --help

Setup

  You must have an environment variable named GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
  set to the location of an credentials JSON file.

Example Commands
