Here at Google, we�re serving more than a hundred APIs to ensure that developers have the resources to build amazing experiences with them. We provide a reliable infrastructure and make it as simple as possible so developers can focus on building the future. With this in mind, we�re introducing a few improvements for the API experience: more flexible keys, a streamlined 'getting-started' experience, and easy monitoring.

Faster, more flexible key generation

Keys are a standard way for APIs to identify callers, and one of the very first steps in interacting with a Google API. Tens of thousands of keys are created every day for Google APIs, so we�re making this step simpler -- reducing the old multi-step process with a single click:

You no longer need to choose your platform and various other restrictions at the time of creation, but we still encourage scope managementas a best practice:

Streamlined getting started flow

We realize that many developers want to get straight to creation and don�t necessarily want to step into the console. We�ve just introduced an in-flow credential set up procedure directly embedded within the developer documentation:

Click the 'Get a Key' button, choose or create a project, and then let us take care of enabling the API and creating a key.

We are currently rolling this out for the Google Maps APIs and over the next few months we'll bring it to the rest of our documentation.

API Dashboard

We�re not just making it easier to get started, we�re simplifying the on-going usage experience, too. For developers who use one or more APIs frequently, we've built the new API Dashboard to easily view usage and quotas.

If you�ve enabled any APIs, the dashboard is front and center in the API Console. There you can view all the APIs you�re using along with usage, error and latency data:

Clicking on an API will jump to a detailed report, where you�ll see the traffic sliced by methods, credentials, versions and response code (available on select APIs):

We hope these new features make your API usage easier, and we can't wait to see what you�re going to build next!
