Gemini CLI

Copy the configuration and replace sk-... with your key from the Ailoot Dashboard. Prefer storing the key in the environment variable AILOOT_API_KEY, if the application supports it.

Before starting, request GET /v1/models with your Ailoot key. Choose an exact model ID whose methods include POST /v1beta/models/{model}:generateContent, then use that ID in the configuration. For agents, also check tool support and the features required by your client version.

export AILOOT_API_KEY="sk-..."
export GEMINI_API_KEY="$AILOOT_API_KEY"
export GOOGLE_GEMINI_BASE_URL=https://api.ailoot.ai
export GEMINI_MODEL=gemini-3.8-flash

{
  "security": {
    "auth": {
      "selectedType": "gemini-api-key"
    }
  }
}

Example model: gemini-3.8-flash. Choose any other model from the catalog — check that it supports the format you need.

• For the Gemini format, the URL is https://api.ailoot.ai without /v1beta.
• Ask a short question. If you get an error, check the code and Request ID, then consult Errors and limits.
• 404: https://api.ailoot.ai → /v1beta/models/{model}:generateContent. Before starting, request GET /v1/models with your Ailoot key. Choose an exact model ID whose methods include POST /v1beta/models/{model}:generateContent, then use that ID in the configuration. For agents, also check tool support and the features required by your client version.
• 402 — insufficient balance for the reserve. Agents reserve more than chat: why.
