Gemini
Use your Google Gemini API key to power OpenClaw Setup with Gemini models.
How to get API key

- Sign in with your Google account
- Click Create API key and copy it
- Paste the key into the OpenClaw Setup wizard
Tip: Use the free tier for testing; upgrade for higher limits.
Gemini CLI (Login with Google): not a portable token
Gemini CLI uses Login with Google and caches credentials locally. There is no official stable long-lived CLI token you can copy and paste into another hosted service.
For OpenClaw Setup, use an API key (above) or a Vertex AI service account for enterprise.
I selected Gemini CLI Token in the wizard — what do I paste? Use your API key. The CLI token option is experimental and not a portable credential.
Ready to launch?
Once you have your Gemini API key, go to the dashboard to complete setup.
