Update Your .env File

Change Required

Update your backend/.env file to use GEMINI_API_KEY instead of GOOGLE_GEMINI_API_KEY:

Old format:

GOOGLE_GEMINI_API_KEY=AIzaSyClkP29LlTNu833ZFObivr6LuwBOdq59_E

New format:

GEMINI_API_KEY=AIzaSyClkP29LlTNu833ZFObivr6LuwBOdq59_E

Complete .env File

Your backend/.env file should look like this:

PORT=5000
GEMINI_API_KEY=AIzaSyClkP29LlTNu833ZFObivr6LuwBOdq59_E

Note: The code still supports GOOGLE_GEMINI_API_KEY for backward compatibility, but GEMINI_API_KEY is preferred.

After Updating

  1. Restart your backend server:

    cd backend
npm start

  2. You should see:

    • ✓ Google Gemini API key found
    • ✓ Gemini model initialized: gemini-1.5-flash

  3. Test it:

    • Visit: http://localhost:5000/api/test-gemini
    • Should show: {"success": true, "message": "Gemini API is working!"}
