I have watched the very well crafted tutorial on “How To Use Gemini API” and it was worked extremely well for text inputs.

However, now I want to upload images to the Gemini API. How do i achieve this?
I am not sure how to send an image to the API and then get the required output because the prompt should be IMAGE + TEXT together.

Can someone please advise me on this?

Thank you.

Hello, I’ve made few advancements in trying to prompt Gemini with images using the Gemini API.
This is the JSON code I have used in the Web API’s Body.
However, it always returns a “null” value for some reason as the output.
After investigating in Google Cloud Console, it seems that the Gemini API does not receive the request at all.
I have ensured that the API key is up-to-date and it is functioning in my other use cases.
Please can someone guide me on this.
Thank you.

WEB API BODY:
{
“contents”: [
{
“role”: “user”,
“parts”: [
{
“fileData”: {
“fileUri”: “Imgur: The magic of the Internet”,
“mimeType”: “image/jpeg”
}
},
{
“text”: “Please solve this mathematics question”
}
]
}
],
“generationConfig”: {
“temperature”: 1,
“topK”: 64,
