object (Part)

Ordered Parts that constitute a single message. Parts may have different MIME types.
role

string

Optional. The producer of the content. Must be either 'user' or 'model'.

Useful to set for multi-turn conversations, otherwise can be left blank or unset.

Part

A datatype containing media that is part of a multi-part Content message.

A Part consists of data which has an associated datatype. A Part can only contain one of the accepted types in Part.data.

A Part must have a fixed IANA MIME type identifying the type and subtype of the media if the inlineData field is filled with raw bytes.

Fields

Union field data.

data can be only one of the following:
text

string

data

string (bytes format)

Raw bytes for media formats.
