Getting API keys for Gemini is like 3 clicks isn’t it? I’ve done it many times and never found it hard?
yes, this is absolutely simple and one of the best UX I have seen /s
- suppose you already found the page where you can get the key, you copy it and at say to the Zed editor
- zed editor says on every request you reached your requests quota and it does not work (it is json directly returned from api, so this is the message from google engineers)
- after googling you are finding this message lies. it is not requests quota, you simply did not connect your account with billing account (what?)
- ok, so lets connect
- you see you have some billing account created years ago, good. lets connect
- nope, the limit of accounts connected to billing account has been reached, go away
- so maybe we can try to create a new billing account?
- you set up this, add credit card data, it says you will be redirected to new window to verify something something
- new window shows claudflare "your request has been blocked"
- despite this it looks billing account is created, you has been redirected to the billing account dashboard
-is it connected to your api account? lets check. no it is not of course
-so try to connect
-your newly created billing account is not on the list
great job, google, you will really convince me to switch from openai/claude to gemini :)
It's not too much of a work. It's not 3 clicks.
