Image / Audio / Pdf / Video
BAML functions can accept image, audio, Pdf, and video inputs for multimedia processing capabilities. Choose the appropriate type based on your needs:
URL Resolution
BAML automatically handles URL-to-base64 conversion based on provider requirements. You can control this behavior using the media_url_handler configuration option in your client definition.
By default:
- URLs are converted to base64 for providers that don’t support external URLs
- Google Cloud Storage URLs (gs://) are preserved when using Google providers
- MIME types are added when required by the provider
See the client configuration documentation for provider-specific defaults and configuration options.
