A guide for using Google's Gemini artificial-intelligence models through its enterprise cloud platform. It covers sending text, images, audio, video, and documents, generating structured JSON, calling functions, creating embeddings, and running batch or live requests.

Use it to build Gemini features in Python, JavaScript or TypeScript, Go, Java, or C#, including multimodal input, function calls, semantic search, and structured responses.

It helps developers choose the current Google SDK and avoid older libraries when adding Gemini to an application. It also explains the main ways an application can exchange data with the models.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00083	$0.02428
Opus 5	$0.00042	$0.01214
Sonnet 5	$0.00017	$0.00486
Haiku 4.5	$0.00008	$0.00243

Security

Grade A, and why

gemini-api scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

81% identical to gemini-api-agent-platform — 76 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 252 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

IMPORTANT: Agent Platform (full name Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform) was previously named "Vertex AI" and many web resources use the legacy branding.

Gemini API in Agent Platform

Access Google's most advanced AI models built for enterprise use cases using the Gemini API in Agent Platform.

Provide these key capabilities:

Text generation - Chat, completion, summarization
Multimodal understanding - Process images, audio, video, and documents
Function calling - Let the model invoke your functions
Structured output - Generate valid JSON matching your schema
Context caching - Cache large contexts for efficiency
Embeddings - Generate text embeddings for semantic search
Live Realtime API - Bidirectional streaming for low latency Voice and Video interactions
Batch Prediction - Handle massive async dataset prediction workloads

Core Directives

Unified SDK: ALWAYS use the Gen AI SDK (google-genai for Python, @google/genai for JS/TS, google.golang.org/genai for Go, com.google.genai:google-genai for Java, Google.GenAI for C#).
Legacy SDKs: DO NOT use google-cloud-aiplatform, @google-cloud/vertexai, or google-generativeai.

SDKs

Python: Install google-genai with pip install google-genai
JavaScript/TypeScript: Install @google/genai with npm install @google/genai
Go: Install google.golang.org/genai with go get google.golang.org/genai
C#/.NET: Install Google.GenAI with dotnet add package Google.GenAI
Java:
- groupId: com.google.genai, artifactId: google-genai
- Latest version can be found here: https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/com.google.genai/google-genai/versions (let's call it LAST_VERSION)
- Install in build.gradle:
```
implementation("com.google.genai:google-genai:${LAST_VERSION}")
```
- Install Maven dependency in pom.xml:
```
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.genai</groupId>
    <artifactId>google-genai</artifactId>
    <version>${LAST_VERSION}</version>
</dependency>
```

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
