Google smoke test

Ask Gemini to use hosted search and URL context, then print the returned source citations.

hostedTool describes tools that Google runs on your behalf. The response can contain ckSource blocks alongside text, so the example prints each citation’s title and URL after printing the answer.

import std/os
import nimgent
import nimgent/providers/google


let model = google(getEnv("GEMINI_API_KEY")).model("gemini-3.5-flash-lite")
let response = generateText(model,
  prompt = "Use web search to find the Nim language homepage and read https://nim-lang.org.",
  tools = @[hostedTool("web_search"), hostedTool("url_context")])


echo response.text
for part in response.content:
  if part.kind == ckSource:
    echo "source: ", part.source.title, " ", part.source.url

Run it from the repository root:

Terminal window
GEMINI_API_KEY=... nim c -r examples/google_smoke.nim
