Assigning a API_KEY using model.ApiKey is not working

[doggy8088]

Here is my code. It's not working. It should be a bug.

void Main()
{
    var googleAI = new GoogleAI(apiKey: "WRONG_API_KEY");
    var model = googleAI.GenerativeModel(model: Model.Gemini10Pro001);
    model.ApiKey = Util.GetPassword("GEMINI_API_KEY");
    model.GenerateContent("Tell me 4 things about Taipei. Be short.").Dump();
}

I think bug is here:

You should able to replace a new key there.

Hi @doggy8088

Hm, that is a problematic area due to the DefaultRequestHeaders member. It can only be modified prior to the first request issued by the HttpClient. Then it is immutable and throws an exception. See field HttpClient._operationStarted.

void Main()
{
    var googleAI = new GoogleAI(apiKey: "WRONG_API_KEY");
    var model = googleAI.GenerativeModel(model: Model.Gemini10Pro001);
    model.GenerateContent("Tell me 4 things about Taipei. Be short.").Dump();

    // throws an exception!
    model.ApiKey = Util.GetPassword("GEMINI_API_KEY");
    model.GenerateContent("Tell me 4 things about Taipei. Be short.").Dump();
}

This member should rather be internal than public.
Same probably applies for member ProjectId.

Interesting...
Last time I ran into an exception, now not.

Fixed in next release.
