Seamless Integration of Google Workspace and Gemini API via External URLs
Abstract
The Gemini API now supports external file URLs, allowing developers to process data directly without uploading it first. This article demonstrates how to leverage this update to integrate Google Workspace resources—including Google Sheets, Docs, Slides, and Apps Script—into Gemini’s workflow, covering both public and secure private access methods.
Introduction
Recently, the limitations regarding inline file data in the Gemini API have been significantly updated Ref. The maximum file size has increased from 20 MB to 100 MB. Furthermore, external file URLs—both public and signed—can now be used directly as input.
