External URL Input

Pass a public HTTPS PDF URL straight to Gemini 3.5 Flash with File(url=…), no download step.

The Gemini API now supports external HTTPS URLs (up to 100MB). Pass public URLs directly without downloading first.

"""
Example: Analyze files from public HTTPS URLs.

The Gemini API now supports external HTTPS URLs (up to 100MB).
Pass public URLs directly without downloading first.

This works with:
- Public URLs (no authentication required)
- Pre-signed URLs from AWS S3
- SAS URLs from Azure Blob Storage
- Any accessible HTTPS URL

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.
