Pin the model, billing tier and project before relying on availability, data-use or quota information.
Boundary
Gemini Developer API only; Gemini Apps, Vertex AI contracts, dashboard-specific quotas and hands-on reliability claims are excluded.
Approved source-bound claims
models
Google publishes exact Gemini API model identifiers and labels them stable, preview, latest or experimental. Integrations must pin the intended identifier and must not turn a preview label into a durability claim.
Scope: Gemini API model catalog · Evidence: gemini-api-models
privacy
Google’s pricing materials mark free-tier Gemini API content as usable to improve products, while paid-tier content is not used for product improvement under the applicable terms.
Scope: Gemini Developer API free versus paid service tier · Evidence: gemini-api-pricing
limits
Gemini API rate limits apply per project rather than per API key, vary by model and tier, and require the active project dashboard for exact current quotas.
Scope: Gemini Developer API project limits · Evidence: gemini-api-rate-limits
Evidence gaps
- Exact authenticated quota and geography need project evidence.
- Preview models require same-day revalidation.
- No Kingy reliability, latency or output-quality test.
