[Enhancement]: Add support for custom Google Generative AI Base URL

[borrrrring]

Before Requesting

• I have searched the existing issues, and there is no existing issue for my feature request

What feature do you want?

I want a feature! Because it keeps prompting "User location is not supported for the API use." in my country, I need to build a proxy to use it normally.

I was hoping Google could do it but apparently, they won't.

google-gemini/generative-ai-swift#76

[borrrrring]

Could you please use the REST API to call Google Generative AI? This way, we can customize the Base URL. Thanks a lot. @intitni

[intitni]

Using the REST API is too tricky. I have already made a fork of generative-ai-swift to support changing the base URL.

Released in 0.32.0 beta2

The new bug of generative-ai-swift about the new model which named "gemini-1.5-pro-latest". Highly recommended to use REST API😂😂 @intitni

[intitni]

1.5 models only works for API version v1beta according to this issue google-gemini/generative-ai-python#227 (comment)

Maybe we should just wait until they release it.

The SDK is only responsible for composing the request and handling the response. Behind the scene it still calls the REST API.

[intitni]

Since you are already using a proxy, you can try simply rewriting the v1 in the url to v1beta.

The SDK is only responsible for composing the request and handling the response. Behind the scene it still calls the REST API. This is what I found. Maybe using "/v1beta" is better than "/v1" because it is compatible with all models.

[intitni]

Beta is marked as beta for a reason. The API may not be stable and can break the whole feature when it changes. I can add a feature to allow users to specify the api version in settings. It will be included in the coming major release.
