PipesHub allows you to integrate with Google's Gemini embedding models to enable vector search, semantic similarity, and document retrieval in your workspace.

## Required Fields

### API Key \*

The API Key is required to authenticate your requests to Google's Gemini AI services.

**How to obtain an API Key:**

1. Log in to [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/)
2. Click on your profile icon in the top right corner
3. Select "Get API key"
4. Create a new API key or use an existing one
5. Copy the generated API key

**Security Note:** Your API key should be kept secure and never shared publicly. PipesHub securely stores your API key and uses it only for authenticating requests to Google Gemini.

### Model Name \*

The Model Name field defines which Gemini embedding model you want to use with PipesHub.

**Available Gemini embedding models:**

* `gemini-embedding-001` - Google's latest embedding model with strong semantic understanding

**How to choose a model:**

* For most use cases, select `gemini-embedding-001`
* Check Google's [embedding documentation](https://ai.google.dev/docs) for the most up-to-date options

## Configuration Steps

As shown in the image above:

1. Click **Configure** on the Gemini provider card
2. Enter your Google AI API Key in the designated field (marked with \*)
3. Specify your desired Model Name (marked with \*)
4. Click **Add Model** to save and validate your credentials

> Both the API Key and Model Name are required fields to successfully configure Gemini embedding integration.

## Usage Considerations

* API usage will count against your Google AI API quota and billing
* Different models have different pricing — check Google AI's pricing page for details
* Gemini embedding models support a wide range of languages

## Troubleshooting

* If you encounter authentication errors, verify your API key is correct and has not expired
* Ensure your Google account has billing set up if you are using paid service tiers
* Check that the model name is spelled correctly and is available in your region
* Verify that your API key has access to the Gemini embedding API
