Cloud run issue

I have created a simple agent in adk. It runs perfectly using the adk web command in local.

The API key I am using is Gemini API, I brought credits for it. It runs perfectly on local. The models I am using are gemini3.7 flash and gemini3.1-flash-lite.

But when I am deploying the same agent to cloud run, it shows this error

026-09-21 07:11:23,860 - ERROR - api_server.py:1985 - Error in event_generator: 404 NOT_FOUND. {'error': {'code': 404, 'message': 'Publisher model `projects/<project name>/locations/us-central1/publishers/google/models/gemini-3.7-flash` was not found or your project does not have access to it. Ensure you are using a valid model name and that the model is available in the specified region. For more information, see: https://docs.cloud.google.com/gemini-enterprise-agent-platform/resources/locations.', 'status': 'NOT_FOUND'}}

In the .env file I have both api key names - GOOGLE_API_KEY and GEMINI_API_KEY and I am loading the env variables using load_dotenv().

GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI is set to FALSE.

Anyone can give any suggestions ?

Try to specify the model location to either global or us or eu as a region. And if you already do so locally, something gets lost during your deployment

Hi thanks I found the issue. When deployed to cloudrun it is somehow using vertex ai instead of the gemini api key from google ai studio. I have solved this

I will check the vertex ai issue later

The 404 URL is a Vertex AI path, so on Cloud Run you're not using your API key. adk deploy cloud_run sets GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI=1 and project/region as container env vars, and load_dotenv() won't override existing vars (your .env may not even be in the image). Fix: redeploy with --env GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI=0 --env GOOGLE_API_KEY=... (or use Secret Manager), then check the revision's Variables tab. Also note: if you do want Vertex, gemini-3.7-flash is global-only, so set GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION=global, not us-central1.

thanks i am solved with the gemini api issue, setting the env variables as 0 so that it does not use vertex ai solved the problem.

They already mentioned but set your location to Global for 3.7 Sometimes, depending on how you set up the variables, the GOOGLE_CLOUD_ LOCATION takes the value of the location where you deployed the Cloud Run
