## 📦 Installation

Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
gemini-rust = "1.2.1"
```

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Basic Content Generation

```rust
use gemini_rust::Gemini;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let api_key = std::env::var("GEMINI_API_KEY")?;
    let client = Gemini::new(api_key);
    
    let response = client
        .generate_content()
        .with_system_prompt("You are a helpful assistant.")
        .with_user_message("Hello, how are you?")
        .execute()
        .await?;
    
    println!("Response: {}", response.text());
    Ok(())
}
```

### Streaming Responses

```rust
use gemini_rust::Gemini;
use futures::StreamExt;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let client = Gemini::new(std::env::var("GEMINI_API_KEY")?);
    
    let mut stream = client
        .generate_content()
        .with_user_message("Tell me a story about programming")
        .execute_stream()
        .await?;

    while let Some(chunk) = stream.next().await {
        print!("{}", chunk?.text());
    }
    Ok(())
}
```

## 🛠️ Advanced Features

### Function Calling

```rust
use gemini_rust::{Gemini, FunctionDeclaration, FunctionParameters, PropertyDetails};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let client = Gemini::new(std::env::var("GEMINI_API_KEY")?);
    
    // Define a custom function
    let weather_function = FunctionDeclaration::new(
        "get_weather",
        "Get the current weather for a location",
        FunctionParameters::object()
            .with_property(
                "location",
                PropertyDetails::string("The city and state, e.g., San Francisco, CA"),
                true,
            )
    );
    
    let response = client
        .generate_content()
        .with_user_message("What's the weather like in Tokyo?")
        .with_function(weather_function)
        .execute()
        .await?;
    
    // Handle function calls
    if let Some(function_call) = response.function_calls().first() {

    );

    let response = client
        .generate_content()
        .with_user_message("Explain quantum computing in simple terms")
        .with_dynamic_thinking()  // Let model decide thinking budget
        .with_thoughts_included(true)  // Include thinking process
        .execute()
        .await?;

    // Access thinking summaries
    for thought in response.thoughts() {

    Ok(())
}
```

    let client = Gemini::with_model(
        std::env::var("GEMINI_API_KEY")?,
        "models/text-embedding-004".to_string()
    );

    let response = client
        .embed_content()
        .with_text("Hello, this is my text to embed")
        .with_task_type(TaskType::RetrievalDocument)
        .execute()
        .await?;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let client = Gemini::new(std::env::var("GEMINI_API_KEY")?);

    // Create multiple requests
    let request1 = client
        .generate_content()
        .with_user_message("What is the meaning of life?")
        .build();

    let request2 = client

## 🔧 Configuration

### Custom Models

```rust
use gemini_rust::Gemini;

// Use Gemini 2.5 Flash (default)
let client = Gemini::new(api_key);

// Use Gemini 2.5 Pro for advanced tasks
let client = Gemini::pro(api_key);

// Use specific model
let client = Gemini::with_model(api_key, "models/gemini-1.5-pro".to_string());
```

### Custom Base URL

```rust
use gemini_rust::Gemini;

// Custom endpoint
let client = Gemini::with_base_url(
    api_key,
    "https://custom-api.example.com/v1/".to_string()
);

// Custom model and endpoint
let client = Gemini::with_model_and_base_url(
    api_key,
    "models/gemini-pro".to_string(),
    "https://custom-api.example.com/v1/".to_string()
);
```
