1️⃣ Optional: Retrieve API Key From Secrets
Use this code block if your API key does not auto-link in Kaggle and you need to access it from Kaggle Secrets:
Python
from kaggle_secrets import UserSecretsClient
user_secrets = UserSecretsClient()
secret_value_0 = user_secrets.get_secret("KAGGLE_API_KEY")
print (secret_value_0)
Ensure this is your secret name!
2️⃣ Confirmed Working: API Key Connection Test
Run this code to confirm your Gemini API connection is fully functional and ready for the course:
Python
from kaggle_secrets import UserSecretsClient
import google.generativeai as genai
Setup
user_secrets = UserSecretsClient()
secret_value = user_secrets.get_secret("KAGGLE_API_KEY")
print (secret_value)
Installation & Configuration
!pip install -q google-generativeai
genai.configure(api_key=secret_value)
Test Run
model = genai.GenerativeModel("gemini-2.5-flash")
response = model.generate_content("Just say hello if you're working.")
print(response.text)
Expected output: "Hello" or similar greeting
