API | Gemini 3.7 Flash API — Coding Agents, 1M Context

google/gemini-3.7-flash/chat

Gemini 3.7 Flash is Google's high-speed chat model for everyday coding, agentic tool use and multi-step tasks, through an OpenAI-compatible API. It reads up to 1,048,576 tokens and replies up to 65,536, with three reasoning-effort levels.

Send a request

Examples use the selected endpoint’s public parameter definitions. Replace the API key and example media, then send the request from your server.

POSThttps://api.spicyapi.ai/v1/chat/completions

API authentication

Keep the API key in the server environment variable SPICY_API_KEY. Use Bearer authentication and Content-Type: application/json for JSON requests.

Authorization: Bearer $SPICY_API_KEY

curl --fail-with-body -sN https://api.spicyapi.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SPICY_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \

Generated from this model’s input schema — the same one the API validates every request against.

Keep one Idempotency-Key for each logical request. After a network interruption, do not automatically resend with a new key; retain request_id to investigate the accepted request. Idempotency does not replay an earlier chat stream.

Input parameters

Place the model parameters directly in the JSON request body alongside model. This endpoint does not use an input wrapper.

messagesarray<object>Required

Ordered turns, oldest first. Content is a string, or an array of text, image_url and video_url parts. Video is sent as an uploaded file, and the video in one request can total 14 MB. Put the task rules and the tool contract in the system message and append one turn at a time.

Default: Not specified
Constraints: minItems:1

messages[].rolestringRequired within object

Role of the message author.

Default: Not specified
Allowed values: "system""developer""user""assistant""tool"

messages[].namestringOptional

Optional name identifying the speaker within its role.

Default: Not specified

messages[].contentstring | array | nullOptional

Message content, either plain text or a list of content parts.

Default: Not specified

}

response_formatobjectOptional

Ask for a JSON object and name every key in the system message - this is how extraction results come back parseable.

Default: Not specified

tool_choicestring | objectOptional

auto, none, required, or an object naming one function.

Default: Not specified

toolsarray<object>Optional

Up to 128 function definitions per request.

Default: Not specified
Constraints: maxItems:128

top_pnumberOptional

0.01 to 1. Adjust this or temperature, never both in the same comparison.

Default: 1
Constraints: minimum:0.01
maximum:1

temperaturenumberOptional

0 to 2, default 1. Google recommends keeping Gemini 3 models at the default 1.0 - lower values can make the model loop or degrade - so shape structured output with response_format and the system message instead.

Default: 1
Constraints: minimum:0
maximum:2

seedintegerOptional

Any integer. The same seed with an otherwise identical request makes replies repeat closely, so you can change one thing at a time and compare fairly; it does not guarantee identical output. No default: each request draws fresh. No effect on price.

Default: Not specified

stopstring | arrayOptional

Up to 4 sequences, as a string or an array. The reply ends as soon as the model writes one of them, and the matched text itself is left out. No default. It does not change the rate; a reply cut short is billed only for the tokens it produced.

Default: Not specified
Constraints: minLength:1
minItems:1
maxItems:4

reasoning_effortstringOptional

minimal, low, medium or high; medium is the default. Routine steps run fine on low, and the step that has to be right can be raised to high on its own.

Default: "medium"
Allowed values: "minimal""low""medium""high"

max_tokensintegerOptional

Caps the reply at 65,536; the default is 16,384. Thinking tokens come out of this same budget, so a very small cap can be spent on deliberation before the answer starts and return an empty string. Leave real room, or lower reasoning_effort when the reply should be short.

Default: 16384
Constraints: minimum:1
maximum:65536

This is a chat model, so it works wherever the OpenAI chat API works: keep your client, change the base URL, and select this model by its ID.

Point any OpenAI-compatible client here

export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://api.spicyapi.ai/v1"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="$SPICY_API_KEY"

aider --model openai/google/gemini-3.7-flash/chat

Anything that speaks the OpenAI chat API works the same way — SDKs, the Vercel AI SDK, LangChain, aider, Cline. The MCP server and the spicyapi CLI cover asynchronous media tasks. Per-tool setup is in the developer hub.

Use it in SillyTavern and roleplay apps

In SillyTavern, RisuAI, Agnai or any app with an OpenAI-compatible setting, paste the base URL below and your API key, then pick google/gemini-3.7-flash/chat as the model. Browser calls are allowed, and sliders this model does not take are ignored instead of rejected.

Base URL: https://api.spicyapi.ai/v1
Model: google/gemini-3.7-flash/chat

The embedded panel reads the same schema as this page, so it cannot drift from the API. If your docs need the content to be searchable, read the JSON under /api/embed/models/ and render it yourself.
