Error from testing URL Context Tool - Gemini API - Google AI...
I recently encountered an error while testing the experimental feature known as the URL Context Tool. The issue arose when Gemini API was unable to access the content for most of the cases I tested. Despite my attempts with various news sources, I consistently faced the same problem.

Example Scenario:
During one of the tests, I received the following prompt and output:
Prompt: “Based on the provided URL, provide the release time and a summary of the article. URL: Russia proposes to hold next talks with Ukraine in Istanbul on June 2 | Reuters”
Output: “I am sorry, but I was unable to access the content of the provided URL to retrieve the release time and summary of the article. This could be due to paywalls, login requirements, or other access restrictions.”
Response Detail:
In my quest for more information on the types of URLs compatible with the URL Context Tool, I received valuable insights.
To enhance the usability of the tool, it is advisable to avoid URLs that are behind paywalls or have access restrictions. For instance, using URLs from government websites, Wikipedia, or open-access sources that do not require subscriptions can improve the tool's performance.
