Google AI

Google's Gemini models with strong multimodal capabilities and Google ecosystem integration.

getModelKey links official API key pages only. We do not sell, generate, or broker API keys.

Overview

Google AI (Gemini) delivers multimodal models for text, images, audio, and code, with deep ties to Google Cloud and AI Studio tooling.

Developers typically start in Google AI Studio to prototype prompts, then move the same API key into production SDKs against ai.google.dev endpoints.

How to Get an API Key

Open https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey and sign in with a Google account.
Create an API key in AI Studio and restrict it to the projects or APIs you need when available.
Copy the key into a server-side environment variable; never embed it in client-side code.
Follow https://ai.google.dev/docs for base URLs, model IDs, and quota details before shipping.
