Note

Solution for "User location is not supported for the API use"

If you encounter the issue "User location is not supported for the API use", follow these steps to resolve it:

1. Go to this palm-proxy repo and click "Deploy With Vercel".
2. Once the deployment is complete, you will receive a domain name assigned by Vercel (e.g., https://xxx.vercel.app).
3. In your Gemini Pro Chat project, set an environment variable named API_BASE_URL with the value being the domain you got from deploying the gemini proxy (https://xxx.vercel.app).
4. Redeploy your Gemini Pro Chat project to finalize the configuration. This should resolve the issue.

Thanks to antergone for providing this solution.
