Google Adds Event-Driven Webhooks to Gemini API — Eliminates Polling for Batch Jobs, Video Gen, Deep Research
Google AI Blog·medium signal
Google shipped webhook support for the Gemini API, enabling push-based notifications when long-running operations complete. Developers can subscribe to events like 'batch.completed' and 'batch.failed' instead of polling. This addresses a growing pain point as Gemini shifts toward agentic workflows — Deep Research, batch inference of thousands of prompts, and video generation can take minutes to hours.
