Gemini API Chatbot

Command-line chatbots for Google's Gemini API, implemented in both Python and Node.js. This module demonstrates how to integrate a hosted large language model into a simple interactive application.

External API: This utility calls the Gemini API for chat responses. A network connection and a valid API key are required. All surrounding logic runs locally.

File Description
chatbot.py Python CLI chatbot using the Gemini API
chatbot.js Node.js CLI chatbot using the Gemini API
requirements.txt Python dependencies
package.json Node.js dependencies

Requirements

The default model is gemini-2.5-flash, chosen for low latency and high throughput.

Setup

  1. Install dependencies: 
    pip install -r requirements.txt   # Python
npm install                       # Node.js
  2. Provide your API key via a .env file (recommended over hardcoding): 
    GEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
  3. Python — load it at startup: 
    from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
# access with os.getenv("GEMINI_API_KEY")
  4. Node.js — load it at startup: 
    import 'dotenv/config';
// access with process.env.GEMINI_API_KEY

Usage

python chatbot.py   # Python
node chatbot.js     # Node.js

Type a message and press Enter to chat. Type exit to quit.

Security

Never commit or share your API key. Always load credentials from environment variables or a .env file, and keep that file out of version control.
