S3 URL File Input

Generate an S3 pre-signed URL with boto3 and pass it straight to Gemini to summarize the PDF without downloading it.

External HTTPS file input has a 100 MB request ceiling, subject to model and file-type limits; keep PDF input within 50 MB. Generate a pre-signed URL from S3 and pass it directly to Gemini.

s3_url_file_input.py
"""
Example: Analyze files from AWS S3 using pre-signed URLs.

The Gemini API now supports external HTTPS URLs (up to 100MB).
Generate a pre-signed URL from S3 and pass it directly to Gemini.

Requirements:
- AWS credentials configured (via environment variables or ~/.aws/credentials)
- boto3 installed: uv pip install boto3

Supported formats: PDF, JSON, HTML, CSS, XML, images (PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF)

Note: External URL support requires Gemini 3.x models (e.g., gemini-3.5-flash).
      Gemini 2.0 models do not support this feature.

Run the Example

Set up your virtual environment

uv venv --python 3.12
source .venv/bin/activate

Install dependencies

uv pip install -U agno boto3 google-genai

Export your Google API key

export GOOGLE_API_KEY="your_google_api_key_here"

Configure AWS credentials

Configure boto3 through environment variables, ~/.aws/credentials, or an IAM role. The source presigns s3://agno-public/recipes/ThaiRecipes.pdf; if you use another object, update the bucket and key and give the AWS identity permission to read it.

Run the example

Save the code above as s3_url_file_input.py, then run:

python s3_url_file_input.py
