Features
- Optional API Keys: no auth when
api_keysis empty, OpenAI-style Bearer auth when configured - OpenAI Compatible: Drop-in replacement for
/v1/chat/completionsand/v1/models - Tool Calling: Full function calling support (OpenAI format)
- Multiple Models: Flash, Flash Thinking (20k+ char output), Pro, Auto, Lite
- Thinking Depth: Adjustable via
@think=Nsuffix (0=deepest, 4=shallowest) - Web Search: Built-in internet access (Gemini's native search)
- Cross-Platform: Pure Python, no dependencies beyond stdlib
- Streaming: SSE streaming support
- Codex CLI: Responses API (
/v1/responses) for OpenAI Codex integration - Gemini CLI: Google native API (
/v1beta/models) for Gemini CLI compatibility
Quick Start
bashpython gemini_web2api.py
Server starts at http://localhost:8081/v1.
Client Configuration
Cherry Studio / ChatBox / any OpenAI client
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Base URL | http://localhost:8081/v1 |
| API Key | any api_keys value from config.json; anything if not configured |
| Model | gemini-3.5-flash-thinking |
curl
bashcurl http://localhost:8081/v1/chat/completions \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-your-key" \ -d '{"model":"gemini-3.5-flash","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello!"}]}'
OpenAI Python SDK
pythonfrom openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI(base_url="http://localhost:8081/v1", api_key="sk-your-key") resp = client.chat.completions.create( model="gemini-3.5-flash-thinking", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing"}] ) print(resp.choices[0].message.content)
Gemini CLI
bashexport GEMINI_API_KEY=none export GOOGLE_GEMINI_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8081 gemini
Supports Google native API endpoints:
GET /v1beta/models— list modelsPOST /v1beta/models/{model}:generateContent— non-streamingPOST /v1beta/models/{model}:streamGenerateContent— streaming (SSE)
Available Models
| Model | Description | Output |
|---|---|---|
gemini-3.5-flash | Fast general-purpose | ~12k chars |
gemini-3.5-flash-thinking | Deep thinking, longest output | ~20k chars |
gemini-3.5-flash-thinking-lite | Adaptive thinking depth | ~15k chars |
gemini-3.1-pro | Pro (needs cookie for real routing) | ~12k chars |
gemini-auto | Auto model selection | varies |
gemini-flash-lite | Lightweight fast | ~10k chars |
Thinking Depth
Append @think=N to any model name:
gemini-3.5-flash-thinking@think=0 # deepest (default)
gemini-3.5-flash-thinking@think=2 # medium
gemini-3.5-flash-thinking@think=4 # shallowest
Optional: Cookie for Pro
Anonymous access works for all models, but gemini-3.1-pro routes to Flash without authentication. To get real Pro routing, provide a cookie file:
bashpython gemini_web2api.py --cookie-file cookie.txt
How to get cookies
- Open Chrome, go to gemini.google.com and sign in with any free Google account
- Open DevTools (F12) → Application → Cookies →
https://gemini.google.com - Copy these cookie values:
SID,HSID,SSID,APISID,SAPISID,__Secure-1PSID - Create
cookie.txtin this format:
SID=your_sid_value; HSID=your_hsid_value; SSID=your_ssid_value; APISID=your_apisid_value; SAPISID=your_sapisid_value; __Secure-1PSID=your_1psid_value
Or use the JSON format:
json{"cookie": "SID=xxx; HSID=xxx; SSID=xxx; APISID=xxx; SAPISID=xxx; __Secure-1PSID=xxx", "sapisid": "your_sapisid_value"}
Alternative (browser extension): Use any "Export Cookies" extension to export cookies for gemini.google.com in Netscape format, then convert to the single-line format above.
Authenticated account path and XSRF token
If the signed-in Gemini page URL contains an account index, such as:
https://gemini.google.com/u/1/app/...
set auth_user to that index. Authenticated web requests may also require the page XSRF token. In the rendered Gemini page source, this token is exposed as SNlM0e; pass it as xsrf_token in config.json. The server sends it as the at form field.
Example:
json{ "cookie_file": "/app/cookie.txt", "auth_user": "1", "xsrf_token": "AOOh0P...", "gemini_bl": "boq_assistant-bard-web-server_YYYYMMDD.xx_p0" }
If authenticated requests return HTTP 400 with an xsrf error, refresh Gemini Web, update xsrf_token, and make sure auth_user matches the /u/<index>/ part of the browser URL.
No paid subscription needed — a free Google account is sufficient.
Configuration
Create config.json in the same directory:
json{ "port": 8081, "host": "0.0.0.0", "retry_attempts": 3, "retry_delay_sec": 2, "request_timeout_sec": 180, "gemini_bl": "boq_assistant-bard-web-server_20260525.09_p0", "auth_user": null, "xsrf_token": null, "api_keys": ["sk-your-key"], "cookie_file": null, "proxy": null, "log_requests": true }
When api_keys is [], authentication is disabled. When one or more keys are set, /v1/* endpoints require Authorization: Bearer <key> or x-api-key: <key>.
Docker
bashcp config.example.json config.json docker build -t gemini-web2api . docker run -d --name gemini-web2api -p 8081:8081 -v ./config.json:/app/config.json gemini-web2api
Or use Docker Compose:
bashcp config.example.json config.json docker compose up -d
To mount a cookie file:
bashdocker run -d --name gemini-web2api -p 8081:8081 -v ./config.json:/app/config.json -v ./cookie.txt:/app/cookie.txt gemini-web2api
Set "cookie_file": "/app/cookie.txt" in config.json.
Proxy
If you cannot access gemini.google.com directly (connection timeout), configure a proxy:
Method 1: CLI argument
bashpython gemini_web2api.py --proxy http://127.0.0.1:7890
Method 2: config.json
json{"proxy": "http://127.0.0.1:7890"}
Method 3: Environment variable (auto-detected)
bashexport HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7890 python gemini_web2api.py
Works with Clash, V2Ray, Shadowsocks, or any HTTP proxy.
Tool Calling
pythonresp = client.chat.completions.create( model="gemini-3.5-flash", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather in Tokyo?"}], tools=[{ "type": "function", "function": { "name": "get_weather", "description": "Get weather for a city", "parameters": {"type": "object", "properties": {"city": {"type": "string"}}, "required": ["city"]} } }] )
Limitations
- No image/multimodal input: Gemini's image upload requires a proprietary streaming RPC protocol (WIZ/ProcessFile) that cannot be replicated in a standard HTTP proxy. Image inputs in messages will be ignored with a note.
- Not real Pro/Ultra: Without a paid subscription cookie,
gemini-3.1-proroutes to the same Flash model. The "Pro" label is a UI preference, not a backend model switch. - Single-turn only: Each request is an independent conversation. Multi-turn context is simulated by including previous messages in the prompt.
- Rate limits: Google may throttle high-frequency requests. The server retries automatically but sustained heavy use may be blocked.
Requirements
- Python 3.8+
- No external dependencies (stdlib only)
- Network access to
gemini.google.com(proxy/VPN may be needed in some regions)
How It Works
This tool reverse-engineers Google Gemini's web StreamGenerate protocol. It sends requests to the same endpoint that the Gemini web app uses, converting between OpenAI's API format and Gemini's internal protobuf-like format.
The model selection is controlled by field [79] in the request payload, mapped from Gemini's frontend JavaScript source (MODE_CATEGORY enum).
