Where can I find the API KEY for Firebase Cloud Messaging?

I am trying to figure out how the new version of GCM or Firebase Cloud Messaging works so I moved one of my projects to the new Firebase console, If I did not have the API KEY or I want to create a new one... where can I do it?

There are two primary ways to locate your Firebase API key:

Check the Project Settings:

  • Navigate to the Project Settings section of your Firebase console.
  • Click on the General tab.
  • Look for the Web API Key field. Your APIkey should be displayed there, starting with "ALZa*********** enter image description here

Access from Service Accounts:

  • If the API key isn't visible in the General tab, proceed to the Service Accounts section within Project Settings. enter image description here

  • Under the All service accounts section, you will see number of service accounts click on that. enter image description here

  • A new page of the IAM & Admin will appeared.

  • click on search bar and type the API key. enter image description here

  • Click on the Credentials option. enter image description here

  • Select Show key to reveal your API key. enter image description here

Key Points:

The API key is crucial for interacting with Firebase services from your application. Treat your API key with confidentiality, as it grants access to your Firebase project. If you encounter any difficulties locating your API key, refer to the official Firebase documentation for detailed guidance.

If you want to get the current api key programmatically in android studio, use

 FirebaseOptions.fromResource(context).getApiKey()

It's in https://console.firebase.google.com/project/(your-project-id)/settings/cloudmessaging

You can find the API KEY in:

(gear-next-to-project-name) > Project Settings > Cloud Messaging

Server Key is the API key.
