Gemini Documentation

The Gemini API allows developers to integrate AI-powered functionalities into their applications. This documentation provides an overview of the API features, authentication, and response handling.

Features​

  • AI-powered insights: Get intelligent responses based on natural language queries.
  • Scalability: Designed to handle high-volume requests efficiently.
  • Security: Ensures data integrity with authentication mechanisms.

Authentication​

To access the API, authentication is required. Ensure that you have a valid API key before making requests.

Authentication Methods​

  • API Key: A unique key that identifies your application.
  • OAuth 2.0: For more secure authentication and user-based access control.

Request Format​

All requests must be structured properly to receive accurate responses.

Response Structure​

Responses are typically structured in JSON format, including:

  • Status Codes: Indicating success or failure.
  • Response Data: The actual content returned.
  • Error Messages: Details in case of failed requests.

Rate Limits​

To ensure fair usage, rate limits are applied. Exceeding the limit may result in temporary restrictions.

Tip: Use pagination for handling large datasets efficiently.

Error Handling​

The API follows standard error-handling practices, providing meaningful error messages to guide developers in troubleshooting issues.

Common Error Codes​

  • 400: Bad request - Invalid input parameters.
  • 401: Unauthorized - Invalid or missing authentication.
  • 403: Forbidden - Access denied.
  • 500: Internal server error - Unexpected failure.

Best Practices​

  • Optimize Requests: Use efficient queries to improve response time.
  • Handle Errors Gracefully: Implement retries and error-handling logic.
  • Secure API Keys: Never expose API keys in public repositories.

Support​
