Gemini-CLI-2-API has the following advantages over using the Gemini CLI directly:
- Compatibility Advantage: Provides an OpenAI API-compatible interface that enables a large number of tools developed based on the OpenAI API to seamlessly integrate Gemini models without modifying existing code.
- Ease of development: The standard API interface is better suited for integration into applications than CLI commands, and supports HTTP requests for invocation.
- Functionality Expansion: Added streaming response, detailed logging, and other features not available in the native Gemini CLI to enhance the development experience.
- Deployment flexibility: Services can be deployed locally, avoiding the tedious process of configuring authentication for each invocation.
- monitoring capability: The built-in logging system can record information such as prompt words and timestamps of all requests for easy debugging and analysis.
- Certified Diversity: Supports a variety of authentication methods, including Bearer tokens, URL query parameters, etc., to meet the needs of different scenarios.
Especially for developers already using OpenAI ecosystem tools, this means that it is possible to switch to the Gemini modeling service at almost zero cost.
