Gemini protocol

Send native Gemini generateContent requests through Tikway.

The Gemini API uses the x-goog-api-key header. The model ID appears in the URL, and messages use contents[].parts[]. Endpoints begin with /v1beta/models/.

curl 'https://api.tikway.ai/v1beta/models/gemini-2.5-flash:generateContent' \
  -H "x-goog-api-key: $TIKWAY_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "contents": [{"role": "user", "parts": [{"text": "Hello"}]}]
  }'

Use :streamGenerateContent for streaming and /v1beta/cachedContents for explicit caching. Request and response fields use Gemini REST camelCase names. For the full schema, open API Reference → Chat completions → Gemini protocol. See Status codes and responses for errors and retry advice.
