Files.list method fails with 500

Hi, all!

Currently it appears that files.list method fails sporadically with a 500 error.

Basically, here’s what I do:

$ curl -H 'x-goog-api-key: my-api-key' https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/files
{
  "error": {
    "code": 500,
    "message": "Failed to convert server response to JSON",
    "status": "INTERNAL"
  }
}
$

Is there anyone else seeing this problem? Happy to provide more info (e.g. the project ID), feel free reach out to me in PM.

While calling files.list fails randomly, it seems like specifying a URL parameter with any integer value makes it fail 100% of the time:

curl https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/files?pageSize=11

Good to know, thanks for sharing

I have a test case that exercises the list operation with pageSize=3, primarily to test how my code is handling the continuation pageToken. I ran it a lot, no problems. Maybe the way you combined the get parameters (api key and page size) is causing you trouble?

I am passing API key in a header, but pageSize as a GET parameters. Are you saying it might be worth trying to pass API key in GET parameter too?

It’s worth a try. Special Header for API key should work fine too. What I have and works is either 2 or 3 GET parameters, depending on whether this is a continuation result.

        params={
            "key": mykey.get("google"),
            "pageSize" : pageSize
        }
        if pageToken != None:
            params["pageToken"] = pageToken
            
        r = requests.get(target_url, params)
        if not 200 <= r.status_code < 300:

Hope that helps!
