Update: Google has severly lowered rate limits on this model. Original: Due to extremely high demand, the Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental model is now strictly limited to 1 request per minute and 1000 requests per day (including errors). Frequent 429 errors are expected. To maintain reliable performance, please switch to the paid Gemini 2.5 Pro endpoint. Your credits (such as the $10 minimum purchase) can be used directly on the paid endpoint without affecting your free-tier quotas.

Sample code and API for Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental
OpenRouter normalizes requests and responses across providers for you.
OpenRouter provides an OpenAI-compatible completion API to 300+ models & providers that you can call directly, or using the OpenAI SDK. Additionally, some third-party SDKs are available.
In the examples below, the OpenRouter-specific headers are optional. Setting them allows your app to appear on the OpenRouter leaderboards.
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
api_key="<OPENROUTER_API_KEY>",
)
completion = client.chat.completions.create(
extra_headers={
"HTTP-Referer": "<YOUR_SITE_URL>", # Optional. Site URL for rankings on openrouter.ai.
"X-Title": "<YOUR_SITE_NAME>", # Optional. Site title for rankings on openrouter.ai.
