Open the IDX template for the Gemini API from the IDX template dashboard.
Select the language and framework for your environment. The Gemini API template in IDX is available in JavaScript (with Vite) and Python (notebook or web app with Flask), with more languages and frameworks coming soon.

When your workspace loads, open the main.js or main.py file and update the API_KEY variable with your Gemini API key from Google AI Studio.
Test the base app in the web preview panel to watch the Gemini API in action, and modify your new Gemini API app accordingly.
