Files API throwing error when trying to list files

Gemini API
1

Hi, I am trying to list the files for my Gemini client using the code below:

client = genai.Client(api_key=API_KEYS.get(api_type))
print(client.files.list())

but the print(client.files.list()) throws the below error. I need to list the files to use the API, as I have reached my quota limit for file storage (20GB) and need to delete some files. I have been doing it for a couple of days, and it was working fine, but then it went awry last night.

File "/root/home/molmo-R1/molmo_r1/context_vlm.py", line 35, in __init__
    print(self.client.files.list())

Hey @Jitesh_Jain , Welcome to the forum.

500 Internal Error is a temporary issue, an unexpected error occurred on Google’s side. I checked from my end, and its working now.

Let me know if you are still facing the issue.
