All POST data should be sent in the JSON format (UTF-8 encoding). The task setting is done using the POST method. When setting a task, you should send all task parameters in the task array of the generic POST array. You can send up to 2000 API calls per minute, each Live Gemini LLM Responses call can contain only one task.
Execution time for tasks set with the Live Chat GPT LLM Responses endpoint is currently up to 120 seconds.
Below you will find a detailed description of the fields you can use for setting a task.
Description of the fields for setting a task:
