This topic addresses a persistent issue encountered when integrating TensorFlow models with the Google Generative Language API (specifically the v1beta version) for tasks involving content generation or analysis. Intermittently, requests to the API endpoints https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/files and https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/files/{file_id} (e.g., https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/files/rkh64v24o2g) are resulting in a 500 Internal Server Error. The error response includes the following JSON payload:
{
"error": {
"code": 500,
"message": "Failed to convert server response to JSON",
"status": "INTERNAL"
}
}
