Custom Machine Learning Prediction API on Cloud Funciton

JavaScript
Node.js code for Google Cloud Function
This function interfaces with the machine learning model used for prediction.
// Using AutoML
const automl = require('@google-cloud/automl');
const predictionClient = new automl.PredictionServiceClient();


// Constants
const project = 'kaggle-160323';
const region = 'us-central1';
const automl_model = 'ICN6055334473235779041';
const automl_model_bad = 'ICN3108178127894216047';
const automl_model_2 = 'ICN3822943271648285140';

var output = "";


// Function to interface with AutoML model
function callAutoMLAPI(requestBody){
  return predictionClient.predict(requestBody)
    .then(responses => {
    console.log('Got a prediction from AutoML API!', JSON.stringify(responses));
    output = JSON.stringify(responses);
    return output;
  });
}


// Main driver function to respond to http request
exports.helloWorld = (req, res)=>{
  
  // Construct httpd request to send to AutoML API
  var requestBody = {
    name: predictionClient.modelPath(project, region, automl_model_2),
    payload: {
      "image": {
		"imageBytes": req.body.data
      }
    }
  }
  
  // Return response to app
  return callAutoMLAPI(requestBody).then((output)=>{
  	res.status(200).send(output);
  }).catch((err)=> {
      res.status(400).send(err);
  });
  

};
