## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability google-gemini-files-b4dd82ed -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Upload this video file to Gemini so I can use it as input for a multimodal content generation request — I need the file URI back so I can reference it in my next Gemini API call.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to provide a media file (image, video, audio, PDF, etc.) as context or input to a Gemini content generation request. This is a prerequisite step before calling Gemini's generate content endpoint with multimodal inputs. Choose this over base64 inline encoding when the file is large or needs to be reused across multiple requests.

## Known failure modes

- File too large — Gemini enforces size limits per file type
- Unsupported MIME type — not all file formats are accepted
- Invalid API version in URL path
- Authentication failure — missing or invalid API key
- File processing failure — video/audio files may fail during processing after upload
- Network timeout on large file uploads
- Rate limit exceeded for file uploads

## How this service works

Upload file for multimodal input

## Output

Returns a file object containing the uploaded file's URI, name, display name, MIME type, size, creation and expiration timestamps, and processing state — the URI can then be referenced in subsequent Gemini content generation calls as multimodal input.
