What changed ​

Google shut down gemini-2.0-flash, gemini-2.0-flash-001, gemini-2.0-flash-lite and gemini-2.0-flash-lite-001 on 2026-06-01. A shut-down model is completely turned off, so generateContent and streamGenerateContent calls that name it in the path fail. Calls that pass the model in a request body (as /v1beta/interactions does) or in a variable are not matched by this path.

What to do ​

Change the model segment to gemini-3.6-flash (for gemini-2.0-flash) or gemini-3.1-flash-lite (for gemini-2.0-flash-lite), for example /v1beta/models/gemini-3.6-flash:generateContent, and re-test prompts and output parsing.
