Hey, I'm currently working with the BAML REST API (

baml-cli serve

) and I'm trying to get the client registry to work. I add the following JSON to my

/call/...

request:

json
"__baml_options__": {
    "client_registry": {
      "clients": {
        "name": "Default",
        "provider": "google-ai",
        "options": {
          "api_key": "my api key",
          "model": "gemini-2.5-flash"
        }
      },
      "primary": "Default"
    }
  }

But I get a parse error: "Failed to parse __baml_options__: invalid type: map, expected a sequence". Does anyone know what's going wrong here? It seems the API expects an array for

__baml_options__

but that goes against the API spec it generates. My BAML version is 0.207.1.

it seems that

clients

should be an array no?

...you're right 🤦‍♂️ This was a conversion from a php associative array to json, where there is no difference between an object and an array. Anyways thanks! There indeed is no question that's too dumb to ask

definitely not! happens to all. This is why we opted for making a DSL with good errors vs using json configs 🙂
