I’d like to join the Gemini API Developer Competition but it seems I can’t call the API unless I have a billing account linked.
Is this a requirements to partecipate?
Welcome to the forums!
It is not a requirement to use a paid tier to participate or win.
It is, however, a requirement based on your local law to use the API.
From the rules:
No purchase is necessary to enter or win. Participation is free, and all entrants have an equal chance of winning, regardless of whether they choose to upgrade to a paid tier on any PUBLICLY available model. While paid tiers may offer benefits such as increased rate limits, they will not influence the selection of the winner. The winner will be chosen based on the criteria outlined in these Official Rules.
