API キーを安全に保護する
Gemini API キーはパスワードと同様に扱ってください。不正使用されると、他のユーザーがプロジェクトの割り当てを使用したり、料金が発生したり(課金が有効になっている場合)、ファイルなどの非公開データにアクセスしたりする可能性があります。
重大なセキュリティ ルール
API キーをソース コントロールに commit しないでください。API キーを Git などのバージョン管理システムにチェックインしないでください。
クライアント側で API キーを公開しないでください。本番環境のウェブアプリやモバイルアプリで API キーを直接使用しないでください。クライアントサイド コード(JavaScript/TypeScript ライブラリや REST 呼び出しなど)のキーは抽出できます。
ベスト プラクティス
API キーを使用してサーバーサイド呼び出しを行う: API キーを最も安全に使用する方法は、キーを機密情報として保持できるサーバーサイド アプリケーションから Gemini API を呼び出すことです。
クライアントサイド アクセスにエフェメラル トークンを使用する(Live API のみ): Live API へのクライアントサイドの直接アクセスには、エフェメラル トークンを使用できます。セキュリティ リスクが低く、本番環境での使用に適しています。詳しくは、エフェメラル トークンのガイドをご覧ください。

You can create a key for free with a\nfew clicks in [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey).\n\nOnce you have an API key, you have the following options to connect to the\nGemini API:\n\n- [Setting your API key as an environment variable](#set-api-env-var)\n- [Providing your API key explicitly](#provide-api-key-explicitly)\n\nFor initial testing, you can hard code an API key, but this should only be\ntemporary since it's not secure. You can find examples for hard coding the API\nkey in [Providing API key explicitly](#provide-api-key-explicitly) section.\n\nSetting API key as environment variable\n---------------------------------------\n\nIf you set the environment variable `GEMINI_API_KEY` or `GOOGLE_API_KEY`, the\nAPI key will automatically be picked up by the client when using one of the\n[Gemini API libraries](/gemini-api/docs/libraries). It's recommended that you\nset only one of those variables, but if both are set, `GOOGLE_API_KEY` takes\nprecedence.\n\nIf you're using the REST API, or JavaScript on the browser, you will need to\nprovide the API key explicitly.\n\nHere is how you can set your API key locally as the environment variable\n`GEMINI_API_KEY` with different operating systems. \n\n### Linux/macOS - Bash\n\nBash is a common Linux and macOS terminal configuration. You can check if\nyou have a configuration file for it by running the following command: \n\n ~/.bashrc\n\nIf the response is \"No such file or directory\", you will need to create this\nfile and open it by running the following commands, or use `zsh`: \n\n touch ~/.bashrc\n open ~/.bashrc\n\nNext, you need to set your API key by adding the following export command: \n\n export GEMINI_API_KEY=\u003cYOUR_API_KEY_HERE\u003e\n\nAfter saving the file, apply the changes by running: \n\n source ~/.bashrc\n\n### macOS - Zsh\n\nZsh is a common Linux and macOS terminal configuration. You can check if\nyou have a configuration file for it by running the following command: \n\n ~/.zshrc\n\nIf the response is \"No such file or directory\", you will need to create this\nfile and open it by running the following commands, or use `bash`: \n\n touch ~/.zshrc\n open ~/.zshrc\n\nNext, you need to set your API key by adding the following export command: \n\n export GEMINI_API_KEY=\u003cYOUR_API_KEY_HERE\u003e\n\nAfter saving the file, apply the changes by running: \n\n source ~/.zshrc\n\n### Windows\n\n1. Search for \"Environment Variables\" in the system settings\n2. Edit either \"User variables\" (for current user) or \"System variables\" (for all users - use with caution).\n3. Create the variable and add `export GEMINI_API_KEY=your_key_here`\n4. Apply the changes\n\nProviding API key explicitly\n----------------------------\n\nIn some cases, you may want to explicitly provide an API key. For example:\n\n- You're doing a simple API call and prefer hard coding the API key.\n- You want explicit control without having to rely on automatic discovery of environment variables by the Gemini API libraries\n- You're using an environment where environment variables are not supported (e.g web) or you are making REST calls.\n\nBelow are examples for how you can provide an API key explicitly: \n\n### Python\n\n from google import genai\n\n client = genai.Client(api_key=\"\u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eYOUR_API_KEY\u003c/var\u003e\")\n\n response = client.models.generate_content(\n model=\"gemini-2.5-flash\", contents=\"Explain how AI works in a few words\"\n )\n print(response.text)\n\n### JavaScript\n\n import { GoogleGenAI } from \"@google/genai\";\n\n const ai = new GoogleGenAI({ apiKey: \"\u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eYOUR_API_KEY\u003c/var\u003e\" });\n\n async function main() {\n const response = await ai.models.generateContent({\n model: \"gemini-2.5-flash\",\n contents: \"Explain how AI works in a few words\",\n });\n console.log(response.text);\n }\n\n main();\n\n### Go\n\n package main\n\n import (\n \"context\"\n \"fmt\"\n \"log\"\n \"google.golang.org/genai\"\n )\n\n func main() {\n ctx := context.Background()\n client, err := genai.NewClient(ctx, &genai.ClientConfig{\n APIKey: \"\u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eYOUR_API_KEY\u003c/var\u003e\",\n Backend: genai.BackendGeminiAPI,\n })\n if err != nil {\n log.Fatal(err)\n }\n\n result, err := client.Models.GenerateContent(\n ctx,\n \"gemini-2.5-flash\",\n genai.Text(\"Explain how AI works in a few words\"),\n nil,\n )\n if err != nil {\n log.Fatal(err)\n }\n fmt.Println(result.Text())\n }\n\n### Java\n\n package com.example;\n\n import com.google.genai.Client;\n import com.google.genai.types.GenerateContentResponse;\n\n public class GenerateTextFromTextInput {\n public static void main(String[] args) {\n Client client = Client.builder().apiKey(\"\u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eYOUR_API_KEY\u003c/var\u003e\").build();\n\n GenerateContentResponse response =\n client.models.generateContent(\n \"gemini-2.5-flash\",\n \"Explain how AI works in a few words\",\n null);\n\n System.out.println(response.text());\n }\n }\n\n### REST\n\n curl \"https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-2.5-flash:generateContent?key=$\u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eYOUR_API_KEY\u003c/var\u003e\" \\\n -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \\\n -X POST \\\n -d '{\n \"contents\": [\n {\n \"parts\": [\n {\n \"text\": \"Explain how AI works in a few words\"\n }\n ]\n }\n ]\n }'\n\nKeep your API key secure\n------------------------\n\nTreat your Gemini API key like a password. If compromised, others can use your\nproject's quota, incur charges (if billing is enabled), and access your\nprivate data, such as files.\n\n### Critical security rules\n\n- **Never commit API keys to source control.** Do not check your API key into version control systems like Git.\n\n- **Never expose API keys on the client-side.** Do not use your API key directly\n in web or mobile apps in production. Keys in client-side code\n (including our JavaScript/TypeScript libraries and REST calls) can be\n extracted.\n\n### Best practices\n\n- **Use server-side calls with API keys** The most secure way to use your API\n key is to call the Gemini API from a server-side application where the key\n can be kept confidential.\n\n- **Use ephemeral tokens for client-side access (Live API only):** For direct\n client-side access to the Live API, you can use ephemeral tokens. They come with\n lower security risks and can be suitable for production use. Review\n [ephemeral tokens](/gemini-api/docs/ephemeral-tokens) guide for more information.\n\n- **Consider adding restrictions to your key:** You can limit a key's permissions\n by adding [API key restrictions](https://cloud.google.com/api-keys/docs/add-restrictions-api-keys#add-api-restrictions).\n This minimizes the potential damage if the key is ever leaked.\n\nFor some general best practices, you can also review this\n[support article](https://support.google.com/googleapi/answer/6310037)."]]
