Welcome to the Gemini API Cookbook

This is a collection of guides and examples for the Gemini API, including quickstart tutorials for writing prompts and using different features of the API, and examples of things you can build.

Get started with the Gemini API

The Gemini API gives you access to Gemini models created by Google DeepMind. Gemini models are built from the ground up to be multimodal, so you can reason seamlessly across text, images, code, and audio. You can use these to develop a range of applications.

Start developing

1. Go to Google AI Studio.
2. Login with your Google account.
3. Create an API key.
4. Use a quickstart for Python, or call the REST API using curl.

Capabilities

Learn about the capabilities of the Gemini API by checking out the quickstarts for safety, embeddings, function calling, audio, and more.

The Gemini API is a REST API. You can call the API using a command line tool like curl , or by using one of our official SDKs:

• Python
• Node.js
• Dart (Flutter)
• Android
• Swift
• Go
