Before integrating the Gemini API into PlantTherapy, we tested the API key using Postman to ensure it was accepting POST requests correctly. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Set Up Postman:

   • Open Postman and create a new POST request.
   • In the URL field, enter the Gemini API endpoint provided by Google.

2. Add Headers:

   • Add the required headers, such as Content-Type: application/json and Authorization: Bearer your_api_key_here.

3. Send a Request:

   • Construct the body of your request with the necessary parameters and data.
   • Send the request and check the response to verify that the API key is working correctly.

This step is significant as it ensures that the API integration will function smoothly within the PlantTherapy platform.
