Neat stuff, thanks for sharing! I ended up just going to Google AI Studio, 'cause I didn't see anywhere in your scripts to provide my API credentials. Is that step covered in an earlier post, perhaps? Any reason to think my results would be different using the web interface than via your API method?

Ah, sorry about that. Part of how the Python SDK works is that it can look for your key in a specific environment variable. This means you don't even have to pass it in your code (you can of course). I'm at a conference now, but I believe it is GEMINI_API_KEY. So if you have that in your environment, this line looks for it and uses it:

client = genai.Client()

Again, this is just a default, you can explicitly pass the value as well.
