Connect

Establishes a connection to Google's Gemini API using an API key.

Common Properties​

  • Name - The custom name of the node.
  • Color - The custom color of the node.
  • Delay Before (sec) - Waits in seconds before executing the node.
  • Delay After (sec) - Waits in seconds after executing node.
  • Continue On Error - Automation will continue regardless of any error. The default value is false.
info

If the ContinueOnError property is true, no error is caught when the project is executed, even if a Catch node is used.

Options​

  • API Key - The Google Gemini API key credential used to authenticate with the service.

Output​

  • Connection Id - A unique identifier for the established connection, used by other Gemini nodes.

How It Works​

The Connect node establishes a connection to Google's Gemini API using the provided API key. When executed, the node:

  1. Retrieves the API key from the credentials
  2. Creates a client configuration with the API key
  3. Initializes a new Gemini client with the configuration
  4. Generates a unique connection ID
  5. Stores the client for use by other nodes
  6. Returns the connection ID as output

Requirements​

  • A valid Google Gemini API key with appropriate permissions

Error Handling​

The node will return specific errors in the following cases:

  • Empty or invalid API key credential
  • Failed to create client due to API key issues
  • Client initialization failure

Usage Notes​

  • The connection ID output is required by all other Google Gemini nodes
  • The API key should be stored as a credential for security
  • Each connection creates a unique client instance
  • The connection remains active until the workflow ends or an explicit disconnect
