geminicli2api is an open source proxy server based on FastAPI development , the core function is to convert Google Gemini CLI to OpenAI compatible API interface . It mainly solves three major developer pain points:
- Protocol Adaptation Issues: By providing
/v1/chat/completionsand other standard OpenAI endpoints, enabling existing OpenAI-based toolchains (e.g., LangChain) to access Gemini models without modification - Quota utilization issues: Developers can use the API call quota provided by Google for free, while commercial OpenAI APIs require payment
- Multimodal development thresholds: Native support for mixed text + image input simplifies the development process for complex AI applications
The tool is particularly suited to small and medium-sized development teams that need to quickly validate Gemini capabilities or want low-cost access to multimodal AI.
