Alibaba Tongyi
==============

The `AlibabaTongyiEmbeddings` class uses the Alibaba Tongyi API to generate embeddings for a given text.

Setup[​](#setup "Direct link to Setup")
---------------------------------------

You'll need to sign up for an Alibaba API key and set it as an environment variable named `ALIBABA_API_KEY`.

Then, you'll need to install the [`@langchain/community`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@langchain/community) package:

tip

See [this section for general instructions on installing integration packages](/v0.1/docs/get_started/installation/#installing-integration-packages).

*   npm
*   Yarn
*   pnpm

    npm install @langchain/community

    yarn add @langchain/community

    pnpm add @langchain/community

Usage[​](#usage "Direct link to Usage")
---------------------------------------

    import { AlibabaTongyiEmbeddings } from "@langchain/community/embeddings/alibaba_tongyi";const model = new AlibabaTongyiEmbeddings({});const res = await model.embedQuery(  "What would be a good company name a company that makes colorful socks?");console.log({ res });

#### API Reference:

*   [AlibabaTongyiEmbeddings](https://api.js.langchain.com/classes/langchain_community_embeddings_alibaba_tongyi.AlibabaTongyiEmbeddings.html) from `@langchain/community/embeddings/alibaba_tongyi`
