Gemini API Launches Webhook Push: Notify Upon Completion of Long-Running Tasks, Say Goodbye to Polling

CryptoWorld News: Google has added an event-driven webhook push mechanism to the Gemini API. Previously, when handling time-consuming tasks such as deep research, long video generation, or batch api tasks that could take minutes or even hours, developers could only repeatedly poll the interface to check progress. Now, once a task is completed, the Gemini API will immediately send an HTTP POST notification to the developer’s server. This implementation complies with the standard webhooks specification; each request includes a signature, a unique ID, and a timestamp to prevent replay attacks, and to ensure at-least-once delivery. After a failure, it will automatically retry for up to 24 hours. Developers can configure this globally at the project level using HMAC, or dynamically specify different callback addresses in a single request using JWKS, routing specific tasks to different processing endpoints. This feature is now available to all Gemini API developers.
