API Keys Management

Viewing Your API Keys

When you navigate to the API Keys page in the Cloud Console (under Settings), you'll see a table listing all your API keys with the following information:

• Name: The descriptive name you've given to the API key
• Key: The actual API key value (hidden by default for security)
• Expires: When the API key will expire
• Last Used: When the API key was last used
• Owner: The user who created the API key

Creating a New API Key

To create a new API key:

1. Navigate to the API Keys page in the Cloud Console (under Settings)
2. Click the "Create API Key" button in the top-right corner
3. In the dialog that appears:
   • Enter a descriptive name for the key (e.g., "Production API Key")
   • Set an expiration date for the key
4. Click "Create Key" to generate the new API key
5. Important: Copy the API key value immediately, as it will only be shown once

Note: An API key is automatically created when you create a new project. You can view and manage this key in the API Keys page.
