Basic request

To send your first API request with the Gemini API Python SDK, make sure you have the right dependencies installed (see installation steps below) and then run the following code:

import os
import google.generativeai as genai

GOOGLE_API_KEY = os.getenv("GOOGLE_API_KEY")

genai.configure(api_key=GOOGLE_API_KEY)
model = genai.GenerativeModel('gemini-pro')

chat = model.start_chat(history=[])
response = chat.send_message("In one sentence, explain how AI works to a child.")
# Note that the chat object is temporarily stateful, as you send messages and get responses, you can 
# see the history changing by doing `chat.history`.

print(response.text)

    • macOS:

      $ python -m venv venv
      $ . venv/bin/activate
    • Windows:

      > python -m venv venv
      > .\venv\Scripts\activate
    • Linux:

      $ python -m venv venv
      $ source venv/bin/activate
  4. Install the requirements:

    $ pip install -r requirements.txt
  5. Make a copy of the example environment variables file:

    $ cp .env.example .env
  6. Add your API key to the newly created .env file.

  7. Run the app:

$ flask run

You should now be able to access the app from your browser at the following URL: http://localhost:5000!
