Disclaimer

Not affiliated with Google

gflow-cli is an independent, unofficial project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or otherwise connected to Google LLC, Alphabet Inc., DeepMind, or any of their subsidiaries. All trademarks (Google, Flow, Veo, Gemini, Imagen, AI Ultra, AI Pro) are the property of their respective owners. The use of these names here is purely descriptive — to identify the service this tool integrates with — and does not imply endorsement.

Reverse-engineered surface

This tool calls Google's private REST API at aisandbox-pa.googleapis.com. That surface is:

  • Undocumented. Google does not publish a contract for it.
  • Unstable. Endpoints, request shapes, and response shapes may change without notice. A version of gflow-cli that worked yesterday may break today.
  • Subject to access controls. Google may rate-limit, throttle, restrict, or revoke access to this surface for any account at any time.
  • Not covered by any Google SLA. When this surface goes down, you have no support recourse.

If you need a stable, supported, contractual API, use the official Google Gen AI SDK and the public Veo API on generativelanguage.googleapis.com. gflow-cli may support that path as a GFLOW_CLI_PROVIDER=official option in a future release (planned v0.5+); it is not part of v0.4.0a2.

Account responsibility

To use gflow-cli you must:

  1. Own a valid Google account with active access to Google Flow — any Google account works; a paid plan (AI Pro or AI Ultra) only affects credit allowances and tier-gated features.

  2. Comply with Google's terms of service for that account, including:

  3. Bear all costs. Every generation made through gflow-cli consumes credits from your Google account, exactly as if you had clicked "Generate" in the web UI. Neither the maintainer nor any contributor will be liable for unexpected billing.

  4. Use only your own credentials. Sharing accounts, automating mass-account creation, or otherwise circumventing Google's per-account quotas is prohibited by Google's terms and is not a supported use case for gflow-cli.

Prohibited uses

The maintainer asks that you do not use gflow-cli to:

  • Generate content that violates the Generative AI Prohibited Use Policy (CSAM, harassment, IP infringement, etc.).
  • Circumvent Google's billing, quota, or rate limits via account-rotation farms.
  • Automate Flow access for users who do not have their own Flow access entitlement.
  • Re-sell access to Veo via this tool as a "wrapped" commercial service.

These uses can get your Google account banned, can put the maintainer in a difficult position with Google, and are antithetical to why this project exists (which is to let legitimate Flow user subscribers use credits they already paid for, more efficiently).

Takedown policy

If Google formally requests that gflow-cli cease or restrict any reverse-engineered surface, the maintainer will:

  1. Acknowledge the request publicly within 7 days.
  2. Comply by archiving / removing the affected code path.
  3. Update the README and CHANGELOG to document the change.

No warranty

gflow-cli is provided AS IS, without warranty of any kind, express or implied. The maintainer:

  • Makes no guarantee that any version will work, today or tomorrow.
  • Makes no guarantee about output quality, completeness, or fitness for any particular use.
  • Will not be liable for lost credits, banned accounts, lost time, or any other damages arising from use of this tool.

Reporting issues

  • Security issues (auth handling, secret leakage): please email ffroliva@gmail.com privately rather than opening a public issue.
  • Functional bugs (something broke after a Flow update): open an issue at https://github.com/ffroliva/gflow-cli/issues with the error output and your Python/OS versions.
  • Legal / takedown / DMCA: email ffroliva@gmail.com.
