For some strange reason, despite changing models (gemini-1.5-pro vs gemini-2.0-flash-exp), changing the safety levels (block_none to block_most), and updating the API key, there is one server of mine where the API key does not work. The same configuration, code, and API key work locally and on other servers. Non-Gemini APIs also work.
Maybe the previous tenant of the server I’m using did some misdeeds, so the IP is in some blocklist? I’m not too sure.
This is the response I get:
