https://api.segmind.com/v1/gemini-embedding-001Parameters
inputrequiredstringText to embed; max 2,048 tokens. Use a sentence or paragraph that represents the content you want to index or compare.
output_dimensionalityoptionalintegerTruncates the output vector to this size via MRL. Recommended values: 768 (compact), 1536 (balanced), 3072 (full quality).
task_typeoptionalstringOptimizes the embedding for a specific downstream task. Use RETRIEVAL_DOCUMENT for indexing, RETRIEVAL_QUERY for search queries, SEMANTIC_SIMILARITY for comparisons.

Returns: Text/JSON
Asynchronous requests (v2)
Use Async for video, long-running (>~60s), or high-concurrency workloads; Sync is simplest for fast image & LLM calls. Async submits a request and you poll it to completion.
- 1
POST /v2/gemini-embedding-001Submit — returns request_id, status_url, response_url
- 2
GET /v2/requests/{id}/statusPoll — until COMPLETED or FAILED
- 3
GET /v2/requests/{id}Result — final response body
Status states
- A FAILED request is served as HTTP 422 — the body still carries the error detail.
- An unknown or expired request_id returns HTTP 404.
- Results are retained for 1 hour, then expire.
- Content / RAI blocks surface as FAILED, not a separate state.
- Track completion by polling the status endpoint.
