Chat with Gemini AI from Your Terminal using Python ✨🤖🚀

Hey it's boy SaadMaqsood 🧑‍💻 back again on LearnTermux.tech, where we don’t do boring. Today I’ve got something hella cool — we’re turning our terminal into a literal chatbox with Google Gemini AI 💬✨ Yes, you heard that right. Chatting with AI like it’s your buddy, and all of that right inside your Termux/Python setup. No fluff, just vibes and code.

Let’s goo!!

What’s cooking?

We’re building a Python script that lets you talk to Gemini 1.5 Flash (the fast, lightweight version of Gemini) like you’re texting your AI bestie.

No extra libraries. No complicated junk. Just clean requests, JSON, and your ✨mind✨.

Here's the exact code you need to copy-paste:

import requests
import json

# 🔐 Your Gemini API Key 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 (Generate from Google's AI Studio)
API_KEY = "PASTE_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"

# 🌐 Gemini Endpoint
URL = f"https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-1.5-flash:generateContent?key={API_KEY}"

# 🧠 Headers
HEADERS = {
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

print("🔹 Chat with Gemini (Type 'exit' to stop) 🔹\n")

while True:
    user_input = input("You: ")  # 🎤 Taking user input

    if user_input.lower() in ["exit", "quit"]:  # ✌️ Exit condition
        print("👋 Exiting chat...")
        break

    data = {
        "contents": [{
            "parts": [{"text": user_input}]
        }]
    }

    # 🚀 Sending the request
    response = requests.post(URL, headers=HEADERS, data=json.dumps(data))

    # ✅ Handling response
    if response.status_code == 200:
        result = response.json()
        try:
            bot_response = result["candidates"][0]["content"]["parts"][0]["text"]
            print(f"Gemini: {bot_response}\n")
        except (KeyError, IndexError):
            print("❌ Error: Unexpected response format.\n")
    else:
        print(f"❌ API Error: {response.status_code} - {response.text}\n")
