export const chatGenAiModel = genAI.getGenerativeModel({model:“gemini-2.0-flash”, tools:[{‘google_search’: {}}]})
const generationConfig = {

  • temperature: 1,*
  • topP: 0.95,*

  • generationConfig,*

  • });*

  • const result = await chatSession.sendMessage(“find me latest videos on binary search”);*

  • console.log(result.response.text());*

why the model not using the grounding vertex links and crafting response with those links

when used in ai studio it works fine , does they do some processing in the frontend like extracting links from grounding meta data and then concat with response??

Hi @Rajveer_Singh,

My guess is you are asking only for text from the response. Can you follow this doc and use this “console.log(result.response.candidates[0].groundingMetadata);” and let see if this resolves your issue.

Thanks.
