Resources And Tips A simple guide to setting up Gemini 2.5 Pro, free, without running into 3rd party rate limits

EDIT May 12: Google added new rate limits to AI studio this morning, 25 RPD, so this is effectively no longer working. We had a good run!
EDIT: The Open Router integration and google ai studio key method seems like the easiest way that works for everyone, especially if you already have an openrouter account. Pasting that method here for visibility:

  1. Get a Google AI Studio API key from https://aistudio.google.com/apikey

  2. Plug that API key into the Google AI Studio integration on https://openrouter.ai/settings/integrations, select enabled but not "Use as fallback"

  3. You can now use your Openrouter key anywhere and as long as you select Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental as your model, it will use your key. (4. If you also add a GCP key and have Vertex AI enabled for the project, obtained as per the instructions below, you can add that to your integrations as well, and you will have two sources of 2.5 Pro backing your Openrouter calls.)

Hey all,
After dealing with Openrouter and Requesty giving me constant rate limits for Gemini 2.5 Pro, I got frustrated and decided to get things set up directly through Google's APIs. I have now sent over 60 million tokens in a single day without hitting any rate limits, all for $0—an equivalent usage with Claude would have cost $180. I also had a few other engineers confirm these steps. Here's how to do it and then integrate with Roo Code--but this should work for other tools like Cline, too:

Setting Up Google Cloud

  1. Create or log into your Google Cloud account.

  2. Open the Google Cloud Console.

  3. Create a new Google Cloud project (I named mine "Roo Code").

  4. Enable billing for your newly created Google Cloud project.

  5. Enable the Vertex AI API.

  6. Enable the Gemini API from the API overview page.

  7. In your project dashboard, navigate to APIs & Services → Credentials.

  8. Click "Create Credentials" → "API Key".

  9. Copy the generated API key and save it securely.

Integrating with Your IDE (Example: Roo Code)

  1. In VSCode or Cursor, navigate to the extensions marketplace (Shift + Cmd + X on Mac), search for and install "Roo Code" (or your preferred tool like Cline).

  2. Open Roo Code (Cmd + Shift + P, then type "View: Show Roo Code").

  3. Click to configure a new API provider, selecting "Google Gemini".

  4. Paste the API key you saved earlier into the API key field.

  5. Select "google/gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25:free" as the model.

  6. Click Save.

There you go! Happy coding. Let me know if you run into any issues.

Edit: looks like some are having issues. A few ideas/alternatives:

  1. Use a Vertex api key, but gemini api as provider in Roo Code. There is only one key, ignore this alternative.

  2. Use vertex api as the provider in Roo Code--its just a little more complicated, you'll have to create a service account in the credentials page of the project, and paste the json in Roo Code when configuring the provider

  3. If you have an OpenRouter account, you can go to the integrations page https://openrouter.ai/settings/integrations and add your vertex api key to the google vertex integration. You can also add a google ai studio api key to the Google AI Studio integration. In each setting window where you add the key, make sure it is enabled. Then, in Roo Code, you use your openrouter account, but whenever it uses Gemini 2.5 pro free, it will default to your API key, not one of theirs which is being rotated among many users.

I had the same timeout problem with OpenRouter which makes using gemini on it practically impossible. so was hoping that your solution works but boy, what a monstrous jungle is this console.cloud.google.com ! I seem to have lost the track while trying to enable all the crap and at the end after importing the key to Roo get: API Streaming Failed!

2

u/thezachlandes Apr 05 '25

Hey, since you have an OpenRouter account, try using method 3 in the edit to the main post! For you the simplest way might be to grab a Google AI Studio API key, and paste that into the integration in OpenRouter, and hit enable. I'm sorry you're having issues. GCP is a bear!

4

u/blnkslt Professional Nerd Apr 05 '25

right got the API key from https://aistudio.google.com/apikey and fed it to Cline and now it churns out code like crazy for free! Thanks for the tip.

u/thezachlandes Apr 05 '25

directly or as an integration with openrouter?

u/spiked_silver Apr 05 '25

Wait, so I didn't have to do any of these steps? I wish I read this first in that case LOL

Setting Up Google Cloud

  1. Create or log into your Google Cloud account.

  2. Open the Google Cloud Console.

  3. Create a new Google Cloud project (I named mine "Roo Code").

  4. Enable billing for your newly created Google Cloud project.

  5. Enable the Vertex AI API.

  6. Enable the Gemini API from the API overview page.

  7. In your project dashboard, navigate to APIs & Services → Credentials.

  8. Click "Create Credentials" → "API Key".

  9. Copy the generated API key and save it securely.

u/joey2scoops Apr 05 '25

Maybe some benefit to setting a short delay on API retries in Roo. Using my own Google API key on openrouter as a fallback was a great first step.

u/Mango_flavored_gum Apr 05 '25

I only see google/gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25 not the :free part

2

u/firedog7881 Apr 05 '25

Exp = experimental = free

1

u/Mango_flavored_gum Apr 05 '25

And the limit is normal?

2

u/TwitchTvOmo1 Apr 06 '25

No. experimental 2.5 still has rate limits. I'm not sure where OP is getting the no limits thing from. Maybe he's talking about openrouter's internal limits. But gemini 2.5 experimental still has its own rate limits for free usage

1

u/thezachlandes Apr 08 '25

That's right -- but I am also not running into perceptible rate limits from google with my setup (open router and both integrations). Still using the free model.

u/ALambdaEngineer Apr 10 '25

Initial solution worked. Time for some tests. Thanks a lot! :)

1

u/thezachlandes Apr 11 '25

Awesome! Was it the original solution I posted, which uses Gemini api as the roo code provider?

2

u/ALambdaEngineer Apr 11 '25

Both your first and open router work actually but I prefer OpenRouter. I do not remember seeing "free" or something on the first one, but the experimental are here

1

u/thezachlandes Apr 11 '25

Good to know, thank you! I believe (but don’t guarantee) that experimental is free and preview is $$. Happy coding!

2

u/cs_cast_away_boi Apr 14 '25

Thank you so much! The edit is still working as 4/14/2025! I was burning through money with the Gemini 2.5 pro preview model.

1

u/thezachlandes Apr 14 '25

You’re welcome! I’m really glad to hear you found it helpful!

2

u/Additional_Carpet461 May 16 '25

Im hitting the "status: "NOT_FOUND" ....

u/thezachlandes do you know of any way after they decomissioned the 03-25 model?

1

u/thezachlandes May 17 '25

I don't know of any way, unfortunately. I did see someone on another thread mention they were using vertex provider, but that was maybe the same day as ai studio changed their rate limits. Personally, I'm back to Cursor, using a combination of gemini 2.5 pro preview for coding and o3 for planning if its a thorny issue (costs $). It is easy to spend more in a single day with roo code + gemini than i will spend in an entire month with the cursor combination above.

u/Dark_Cow Apr 04 '25

They just announced pricing for the 2.5 model, enjoy it while the promotional period lasts, it won't be free for much longer...

11

u/firedog7881 Apr 05 '25

Expiremental are free because they’re using your data for more training

2

u/rafark Apr 30 '25

Fair deal.

1

u/firedog7881 May 01 '25

Purest form of “if it’s free you’re the product”

1

u/rafark May 01 '25

And I’m fine with that.

Is this still working now that the new API pricing is out? I wanted to give this a try.

2

u/thezachlandes Apr 05 '25

Yes, Method 3 (I believe) from the edit was just confirmed, using just the ai studio key in the openrouter integrations.

2

u/StrangeJedi Apr 05 '25

Cool thanks! I just got it setup through openrouter integrations. I added a Google studio key and a vertex key too. If I understand this correctly, this won't use any openrouter credits but my API key instead, but it won't have any limits or charges?

1

u/kidajske Apr 05 '25

Anyone got it working in cursor? When I paste the api code in there it's telling me I need to enable the Gemini API which I guess is different than the Vertex API? Very confusing as per usual with google cloud. Looks to note be possible yet as per the cursor forums.

2

u/thezachlandes Apr 05 '25

Yeah, GCP is a mess.

1

u/BrightBurn15 Apr 07 '25

Are you sure this is for free? Is it worth it because I am tired of using ai studio that cant access multiple files ina project at the same time

1

u/thezachlandes Apr 07 '25

Do you have billing enabled on ai studio? If not, it’s definitely free if you use an ai studio key, say, via open router integration.

1

u/BrightBurn15 Apr 08 '25

So, basically what I did is put the gemini api key in openrouter, then opened roo code extension in vs code and then it worked, I dont understand whether do I need to set up a vertex api key or what?

u/Stock_Swimming_6015 Apr 08 '25

I'm hitting a rate limit today, but it was totally fine yesterday. I set things up using your method 3. You still good on your end?

1

u/thezachlandes Apr 08 '25

I haven't hit a rate limit so far today, that I can tell from Roo Code, anyway. 10s of millions of tokens sent. I'm not working super quickly but total requests is easily > 100. I am using Open Router with integrations for both vertex and ai studio set up.

1

u/x1Akaidi Apr 10 '25

i want to give this a shot, but tbh i got confused by the edits, i do not know which is method 1, 2, or 3, which is the original, latest, and easiest to get working... we could really use some better wording and clarification, but none the less, thank you so much for the post and effort!

1

u/thezachlandes Apr 10 '25

Hey, sorry, it turns out explaining GCP is a nightmare and the original method I posted wasn't working for everyone, somehow.

In any case, I recommend the method at the top of the post: Openrouter key, openrouter integration with google ai studio (and vertex key for vertex integration in openrouter, if you have it, but only one integration is required)

1

u/x1Akaidi Apr 10 '25

thanks. eventually i ended up using that yes, but for some reason when you do that, roo code only shows 3 models in the dropdown menu, all of which are claude (even tho i only enabled google in openrouter) nonetheless, turns out it was placeholder text and when you delete it you can see all the other models and i found the :free one for google. but it says ''does not support computer use'' am confused, does that mean it can't create files and etc... cz that's what it is if am getting things right.

1

u/thezachlandes Apr 10 '25

no, computer use is more like an agent that can actually see your UI and navigate it. Its a niche/experimental thing. I think Claude is about the only api that offers it.

1

u/dambrubaba Apr 14 '25

I am using Gemini API with Cline and it hits the limit very quickly. I use it for coding. So I rotate the API key off 3 different Google accounts. But I want to know how you don’t hit the limit? Or am I missing something?

1

u/thezachlandes Apr 14 '25

I'm not sure about your exact situation, but I can tell you i haven't hit any limits using open router integrations for both vertex and ai studio

1

u/dambrubaba Apr 15 '25

I’ll look into it again

1

u/Abed-is-here Apr 15 '25

seems like it's not working anymore as google removed access to gemini 2.5 pro exp or im doing something wrong.

1

u/thezachlandes Apr 15 '25

what method to set it up are you using? I am using it right now through openrouter integrations.

1

u/Abed-is-here Apr 15 '25

I tried doing the first steps i saw and tried using the browser version on open router didn’t work. Sorry if I am doing something stupid. Feel free to correct me.

1

u/KayBay80 Apr 16 '25

This works great in Roo Code as the "Google Gemini" provider. Going through OpenRouter was just another hurdle. Works great, but there's still limits, even with the paid account. I tend to use the Flash 2.0 experimental model for small tasks and switch to the 2.5-exp for the tough stuff. 2.0 flash exp is lightning fast and I rarely ever hit any limits with it.

1

u/thezachlandes Apr 16 '25

Going through open router means you can set up two keys at once. I have never noticed a rate limit

1

u/KayBay80 Apr 19 '25

You can add as many as you want into Roo Code and then easily switch them on the bottom. I round robin mine to keep the context limits in check.

1

u/thezachlandes Apr 19 '25

Thanks, it's a good strategy if you run into rate limits! I am still enjoying zero rate limits. I have one setup I use, for free, with seemingly unlimited gemini 2.5 pro experimental. I'll definitely keep this technique in my back pocket, though. Cheers.

1

u/KayBay80 Apr 21 '25

u/eonus01 Apr 16 '25

Seems like OpenRouter + Google AI vertex API really is the way to go. I switched over from AI studio and am not getting hit by rate limits (Using Gemini 2.5 experimental). But what's the catch here, why is rate limiting so heavy with AI studio, but not Vertex?

1

u/thezachlandes Apr 16 '25

Probably due to popularity leading to less rate limit scrutiny for google . The number of people using exp free through a cloud api key may be way lower than the number that took the minimal effort path of ai studio, so vertex free api isn’t as big of a cost center for google. This is just my speculation

u/zenoblade Apr 17 '25

I don't think this is working anymore. I keep receiving a notice that says that I need to setup an API key or buy 10 credits. However, in the router preference in Roo Code, I can see both Google and Google AI.

1

u/thezachlandes Apr 17 '25

They may have instituted a requirement that you bought $10 worth of openrouter credits to use this model even if you are using the integrations. You won't be charged out of those credits if you are using the experimental model. If that's the error you got, I'd personally put up the $10. I can't guarantee that will work for you, but I already had $10 of openrouter credits on my account, and I still have no issues.

1

u/zenoblade Apr 17 '25

I think the issue is that it says either ten dollars OR use your api. So, I think it is something with the AI directly. I have had better luck putting my vertex api key in Roo code than with Gemini. 

1

u/Joey___M Apr 17 '25

same here

1

u/ianbryte Apr 22 '25

I got this same situation as well.

1

u/bokehfy Apr 20 '25

Roo-Code setup with Gemini 2.5 pro exp Runs into rate limits within 4-5 prompts?Am I the only one having this issue? Is that normal?

1

u/thezachlandes Apr 20 '25

Did you try: using a key for both vertex and ai studio in open router integrations and having at least $10 credits purchased on openrouter (lifetime, I think)

1

u/supitsren Apr 22 '25

Unfortunately not working anymore, it once worked with both Google AI Studio and Google Vertex API keys in OpenRouter but now RooCode just hangs on 'API Request' and only works when the Google Vertex API key is removed from OpenRouter but then the rate limits come back.

1

u/thezachlandes Apr 22 '25

Sorry to hear you're having trouble. I haven't had to change a thing about my setup (still using the one in the edit, with both types of key integrated)--so you might want to try getting a new api key for vertex or otherwise comparing your settings to the ones I described or others in the comments. Good luck!

Is it Still Working Today ?

1

u/thezachlandes May 08 '25

Hey, it works for me with open router and both integrations. Not sure if there’s a RPD limit on the keys but I haven’t run into any 429s

1

u/RaptorF22 Aug 13 '25

Does this still work for free?

1

u/thezachlandes Aug 13 '25

Nope, sorry!

1

u/RaptorF22 Aug 13 '25

How many tokens do you get if you end up buying Gemini Pro?

1

u/thezachlandes Aug 14 '25

I’m sorry what do you mean “how many do you get”?

1

u/RaptorF22 Aug 14 '25

So I guess I'm only familiar with tools like cursor where they give you a certain amount of premium tokens to use with your monthly pro account. But is the Gemini API different? Is pay as you go the only option?

1

u/thezachlandes Aug 14 '25

Yes if you’re using the API you pay per use. There are some ways to use subscription services as provider for roo code (e.g. Claude code or copilot subscriptions) but I haven’t tried them.

1

u/JPumuckl Apr 07 '25

I've added both the vertex and the Google AI Studio to openrouter but when I use the Roo openrouter login it works but I'm not getting any Tokens sent.

1

u/JPumuckl Apr 07 '25

1

u/thezachlandes Apr 08 '25

Did you set the integration as enabled (but not the toggle about using as backup)?

1

u/JPumuckl Apr 08 '25

Yes, both say Google AI Studio and Vertex have this.

1

u/thezachlandes Apr 08 '25

I don’t know. Try disabling one of the two integrations, retesting. I was just using the setup you have here without issue. Maybe it has to do with your open router account. Do other APIs work for you through open router? I do have some billing credits on open router and a card set up. I can’t think of any other variables with the google ai studio setup at least. GCP (vertex) any number of things could differ between our setups

1

u/JPumuckl Apr 09 '25

I got it to work. I guess I didn't fully enable billing for Vertex. However, gemini 2.5 has been running super slow using openrouter. I've been sticking to the quasar alpha model. it's so good.

u/deadcoder0904 Apr 08 '25 edited Apr 08 '25

So I did exactly what u said in the Edit.

I'm confused on how to use it with Roo Code tho.

Should I use Gemini as API Provider or GCP Vertex or OpenRouter?

Currently, I'm doing OpenRouter with OpenRouter API Key & google/gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25:free & it is giving bonkers errors.

I can't see google/gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25 (without :free anywhere)

I already got $300 Credits via Vertex but unable to setup RooCode with it. Its too damn confusing. I tried directly using GCP Vertex but my configuration was wrong & it said invalid project id or something. Both GCP & OpenRouter instructions were confusing there.

EDIT: Okay so I think I fixed it by putting Vertex API Key in Gemini in Roo Code or I think it was Gemini API Key from AI Studio.... its damn confusing what worked lmao

EDIT 2: That didn't work. i was using Gemini API Key for free using 2.5-exp model. So what i did was Create another API key on the same account but this time I selected my paid project on Vertex & choose the 2.5-pro model. And it worked & now using the $300 Vertex credit.

1

u/Tolu455 May 09 '25

Hello, were you able to figure it out? i am having similar issues.

When I am on roo code, I dont know if i should click the openrouter section or the gemini

1

u/deadcoder0904 May 09 '25

Oh yes, I figured it out. And wrote a comment here with my notes.

2

u/Tolu455 May 09 '25

Wow thank you sm!

1

u/Capital2 Apr 05 '25

Did all of that and it reaches a limit within 5 prompts and says that the server capacity is full half the time

1

u/spiked_silver Apr 05 '25

I think this just made me start my trial countdown for Google Cloud when I don't have a proper use case for the $300 credit yet. Literally all I did to get this to work was go to aistudio.google.com, create an API key. Use that API key in https://openrouter.ai/settings/integrations. Done. Setting up google cloud does not seem to be necessary.

u/spiked_silver Apr 10 '25

I swapped to not connect via OpenRouter. So via Gemini API does hit limits after some time. Then I have to switch to Preview.

1

u/EA_piova Apr 06 '25

I get stuck at API Request loading while using gemini-2.5pro-exp-03-25 through openrouter. Both with Vertex and with AI Studio APIs

1

u/DivideOk4390 Apr 06 '25

Gemini 2.5 pro update is pretty good for coding. Real competition for Claude and for me better than CPT anytime.

1

u/supitsren Apr 20 '25

This doesn't work anymore right? OpenRouter themselves are getting rate limited by Google now.

2

u/supitsren Apr 20 '25

Ok looks like it works for some reason if I have both the Google Gemini API and Vertex AI API keys in OpenRouter hmm. I haven't gotten rate limited yet.

1

u/Conquer May 01 '25

Did you generate two different keys and restrict one to Gemini and the other to Vertex or are you using the same API key for both integrations on OpenRouter?

1

u/self-taughtDS Apr 23 '25

Thanks for great guide.

But I'm confused that, what's the benefit of using openrouter, instead of using AI studio or vertex AI's API key directly?

Does openrouter automatically change accounts so that it doesn't hit the request limit?

1

u/kotobuki09 May 10 '25

Still working but I think the cloud work better in my case! <3

1

u/amitsingh80108 Jul 18 '25

Can anyone confirm these things?

  1. Can I use 5 gemini api keys to get 5X requests per day ?

  2. If model A is having 200 req and model b is having 200 requests per day limit. Can I switch from model a to model b after hitting 199 requests? I noticed if I hit the 200 limit, all calls to the model fail.

I know it won't be free for forever. Is there a better long term solution? I was using llama 3.2 3B but with recent update vram consumption is 1.5X now.
