# VertexAITextEmbedder
This component computes embeddings for text (such as a query) using models through VertexAI Embeddings API.
:::warning Deprecation Notice
This integration uses the deprecated google-generativeai SDK, which will lose support after August 2025.
We recommend switching to the new [GoogleGenAITextEmbedder](googlegenaitextembedder.mdx) integration instead.

## Overview
`VertexAITextEmbedder` embeds a simple string (such as a query) into a vector. For embedding lists of documents, use the [`VertexAIDocumentEmbedder`](vertexaidocumentembedder.mdx) which enriches the document with the computed embedding, also known as vector.
To start using the `VertexAITextEmbedder`, initialize it with:
- `model`: The supported models are:
- "text-embedding-004"
- "text-embedding-005"
- "textembedding-gecko-multilingual@001"
- "text-multilingual-embedding-002"
- "text-embedding-large-exp-03-07"
- `task_type`: "RETRIEVAL_QUERY” is the default. You can find all task types in the official [Google documentation](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/model-reference/text-embeddings-api#tasktype).
### Authentication
`VertexAITextEmbedder` uses Google Cloud Application Default Credentials (ADCs) for authentication. For more information on how to set up ADCs, see the [official documentation](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/provide-credentials-adc).
Keep in mind that its essential to use an account that has access to a project authorized to use Google Vertex AI endpoints.
You can find your project ID in the [GCP resource manager](https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-resource-manager) or locally by running `gcloud projects list` in your terminal. For more info on the gcloud CLI, see its [official documentation](https://cloud.google.com/cli).
## Usage
Install the `google-vertex-haystack` package to use this Embedder:
```shell
pip install google-vertex-haystack
```
### On its own
```python
from haystack_integrations.components.embedders.google_vertex import VertexAITextEmbedder
text_to_embed = "I love pizza!"
text_embedder = VertexAITextEmbedder(model="text-embedding-005")
print(text_embedder.run(text_to_embed))
## {'embedding': [-0.08127457648515701, 0.03399784862995148, -0.05116401985287666, ...]
```
### In a pipeline
```python
from haystack import Document
from haystack import Pipeline
from haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore
from haystack_integrations.components.embedders.google_vertex import VertexAITextEmbedder
from haystack_integrations.components.embedders.google_vertex import VertexAIDocumentEmbedder
from haystack.components.retrievers.in_memory import InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever
document_store = InMemoryDocumentStore(embedding_similarity_function="cosine")
documents = [Document(content="My name is Wolfgang and I live in Berlin"),
Document(content="I saw a black horse running"),
Document(content="Germany has many big cities")]
document_embedder = VertexAIDocumentEmbedder(model="text-embedding-005")
documents_with_embeddings = document_embedder.run(documents)['documents']
document_store.write_documents(documents_with_embeddings)
query_pipeline = Pipeline()
query_pipeline.add_component("text_embedder", VertexAITextEmbedder(model="text-embedding-005"))
query_pipeline.add_component("retriever", InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever(document_store=document_store))
query_pipeline.connect("text_embedder.embedding", "retriever.query_embedding")
query = "Who lives in Berlin?"
result = query_pipeline.run({"text_embedder":{"text": query}})
print(result['retriever']['documents'][0])
## Document(id=..., content: 'My name is Wolfgang and I live in Berlin')
```
