Access Gemini's power without API keys — just use your cookies!
Note

Warning
This project is not affiliated with Google. It uses reverse-engineered web cookies and may not comply with Google's Terms of Service. Use at your own risk — the author assumes no responsibility for any account actions or data loss.
Problem: You want to use Google Gemini's latest models, but you don't have an API key or prefer not to use one.
Solution: Creates a local API server that:
- ✅ Connects to Gemini's web interface using your browser cookies
- ✅ Exposes OpenAI / Claude / Gemini-compatible API endpoints
- ✅ No API keys needed — just cookies from your browser
- ✅ Handles authentication and session management automatically
Use Cases:
- Use Gemini without API keys
- Test Gemini integration locally
- Build applications leveraging Gemini's latest models
- Develop with cookie-based authentication
No cloning needed — pull and run directly from the registry.
