Gemini API adds Webhooks for long-running jobs
Run async, long tasks with less polling, cost, and delay.
Key Points
- 1Webhook callbacks for completion events
- 2Less polling means fewer wasted API calls
- 3Simplifies long-running, high-volume architectures
Google introduced event-driven Webhooks in the Gemini API so apps can receive push notifications when long-running jobs complete. This removes the need for inefficient polling loops. It can reduce latency and costs for Batch API and other lengthy agentic workloads.
