Use Bard API (Palm API) without an API key

Google's Bard is eagerly expected to join the LLM API race so we can all use it in our AI related products. Problem is, currently the access to Palm API Beta is severely limited. Early US based applicants got the key. For non-US applicants and now also for anybody from the US, it's next to impossible to get the key.

Many of us don't have the opportunity to explore how Bard and Palm API functions. Even if you have Bard web access - API access and regular web based use differ so you really need to query the Palm API to experience what it provides. Also, web based use isn't available for everyone. This is where APIScout.AI comes to play.

APIScout.AI compares ChatGPT API and Palm API output. It is displaying response to your prompts side by side, querying simultaneously the two biggest LLM APIs out there. It allows full API request configuration, and is free, can be used without registration. This way you can check out Bard without having a key or web access.

There's a limit to the number of prompts you can enter though. But it's enough to understand what Bard API offers so you can plan ahead to use it when it becomes commercially available. When you run out of prompts you can enter, you can continue comparing ChatGPT and Bard if you have your own API keys to enter into the APIScout.AI's GUI.

Please let us know in the comments if you find any other way to access Palm API at this time, or if Beta registrations continue.
