I need to use proxy because api doesnt support in my region, where should i fix it ? i couldnt find it? where is curl?

You need a proxy server in one of the supported countries. Then you can specify the proxy server address while building your Gemini API client. You can find the configuration in the Readme file.

I have tested proxy with curl command below

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"contents":[{"parts":[{"text":"Explain how AI works"}]}]}' -x 'http://proxy_username:[email protected]:2333' 'https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-1.5-flash-latest:generateContent?key=api_key' --verbose

and it has been given me the verbose response below
