Configuration requirements for critical dependent services
Geo AI Agent, while open source and free, needs to be configured with two key commercial API services to be fully functional. These include the Google Gemini API for AI content analysis and query generation, and Bright Data's SERP API for accessing search engine results data. Both services require users to register for an account and obtain an API key.
The configuration process is implemented through the .env environment variable file, which requires the setting of four key parameters: GEMINI_API_KEY specifies the access credentials for the Gemini service, MODEL defines the version of the AI model to be used (e.g., gemini-1.5-flash), BRIGHT_DATA_API_KEY and BRIGHT_DATA_ ZONE configure the access rights and proxy zones for the Bright Data service, respectively.
It's worth noting that both API services utilize a per-use billing model. In the case of Bright Data, for example, the base package of its SERP API starts from $50/month and includes a certain amount of search query credits. Users need to choose the right API package based on the expected frequency of analysis, which has a decisive impact on the actual cost of using the tool.
