I’m trying to access the URL context capability of Gemini using OpenAI’s library, but my code doesn’t seem to be working. And I just read OpenAI compatibility  |  Gemini API  |  Google AI for Developers and URL context  |  Gemini API  |  Google AI for Developers, cannot find anything helpful to achieve this. Thanks a lot!

import openai

client = openai.OpenAI(
    api_key="", # or os.getenv("POE_API_KEY")
    base_url="https://api.poe.com/v1",
)

tools = [
  {"url_context": {}},
]

chat = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="Gemini-2.0-Flash",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "tell me the author of this paper：https://arxiv.org/pdf/2108.11539"}],
#   tools=tools,
)
print(chat.choices[0])

You don’t need to take any extra steps to use the URL context feature. For example:

url1 = "https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/perfect-roast-chicken-recipe-1940592"
url2 = "https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/21151/simple-whole-roast-chicken/"

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gemini-2.5-flash",
    messages=[
        {
            "content": f"Compare the ingredients and cooking times from the recipes at {url1} and {url2}",
            "role": "user"
        }
    ]
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

will return the expected response, which proves that URL interpretation is already enabled.

Thanks. Is it possible to get the meta response(URL context  |  Gemini API  |  Google AI for Developers) in this way？
