I can't get the BARD endpoint to work... Any one have any suggestions on how to get this to work? Below is the code:



import requests
import json
import speech_recognition as sr
import pyttsx3

BARD_API_URL = "https://ai.google/bard" # Replace with the actual Bard API endpoint
REQUEST_TIMEOUT = 10 # Set the timeout to 10 seconds – gives the system time to respond

def listen_to_microphone(device_index=None):
 recognizer = sr.Recognizer()

 try:
 with sr.Microphone(device_index=device_index) as source:
 print("Using microphone:", source)
 print("Listening...")
 audio = recognizer.listen(source, timeout=5) # Set a timeout of 5 seconds
 print("Audio recorded successfully.")
 except OSError:
 print("Error: Microphone not found or inaccessible.")
 return None

 try:
 print("Recognizing...")
 text = recognizer.recognize_google(audio)
 print("You said:", text)
 return text
 except sr.UnknownValueError:
 print("Could not understand audio.")
 return None
 except sr.RequestError as e:
 print("Could not request results; {0}".format(e))
 return None

def get_bard_response(query):
 headers = {
 "Content-Type": "application/json"
 }
 data = {
 "text": query
 }

 try:
 # Modified the requests.post() function call to include the timeout parameter
 response = requests.post(BARD_API_URL, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data), timeout=REQUEST_TIMEOUT)

 if response.status_code == 200:
 # Check if the response is a valid JSON object
 if json.loads(response.content):
 return response.json().get('response', 'Could not fetch response from Bard.')
 else:
 return "Error: Invalid JSON response from Bard."
 else:
 return f"Error: {response.status_code} - {response.text}"
 except requests.exceptions.Timeout:
 return "Error: Request timed out."

def speak(text):
 engine = pyttsx3.init()

 try:
 engine.say(text)
 engine.runAndWait()
 except Exception as e:
 print("Error: Could not speak text:", e)

if __name__ == "__main__":
 speak("Hello! How can I assist you today?")

 while True:
 user_input = listen_to_microphone()

 if user_input:
 if user_input.lower() == "exit":
 speak("Goodbye!")
 break

 # Call Bard API to get a response based on the user's input
 bard_response = get_bard_response(user_input)
 speak(bard_response)


Well, I have tried different versions of using Bard endpoints, and I can't get them to work - I usually get a 404 error code. I am aware that the BARD endpoint is probably not correct, but I can't find an endpoint that works.
