Multiple API keys

[dronesflier]

Hi! This is a really cool project, but for us to get even close to the 250b token mark, we'd need a LOT of participants. I'm sure there are many willing to contribute idle cycles for these few API calls, but I'm quite doubtful this free Gemini spree will last long. So rather than adding many people, I'd suggest quickly implementing API key rotation into the script. @TanvirOnGH wrote a refactor that I would built off of.
Are there any potential issues/workarounds here (such as the difficulty of registering multiple accounts to a single phone number on google) that I should be aware of?

It seems I'm having networking issues. ETA on making a pr is tomorrow.

This is an awesome suggestion, thanks @dronesflier! Let me know what you think of #7.

Interestingly enough, it seems that the 60 requests/min limitation is applied per API key, not per Google account. Thus, you can perform as many requests per second as you have API keys. I'm at 5it/s with no issues currently.

I ran into issues using multiple api keys. Got temporarily suspended. Can't regen and use again. I was on 3it/s. #6 (comment)

This looks great! Thanks for implementing!

Dang, you're right @TanvirOnGH - I'm running into the same issue.

I've worked around it at least temporarily by rotating my IP every 3 minutes, but it would be good to have a more permanent solution.
