Where to find the youtube API Key?

I followed all the steps. I selected my desired API (YouTube Data API) and created a project. I am searching now for about 20 minutes but I can't find the API Key? My user interface is in german, is it possible that it is named to something else than API Key? Maybe Clientschlüssel (Client Key) ?

This is all I found:

enter image description here

There is also a JSON object, but no API Key:

var myInfos = {
    "web":{
        "client_id":"censored",
        "project_id":"censored",
        "auth_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
        "token_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token",
        "auth_provider_x509_cert_url":"censored",
        "client_secret":"censored",
        "redirect_uris":["https://localhost/ex/YouTube/index.html"],
        "javascript_origins":["http://localhost"]
    }
}

I finally found it! You have to go to Zugangsdaten (Credentials) and then click on Anmeldedaten erstellen (create credentials), now you can select API Key!

Just to walk through this again to make sure you have done it properly.

  1. Make sure you have a Google account.
  2. Log into the developer console at: https://console.developers.google.com/
  3. Create a project
  4. THEN, select YouTube data API
  5. Click create credentials on the right hand side of the screen.
  6. Choose where you will call the API from
  7. Pick public or User.
  8. Obtain your API Key.

Optional: restrict your key.

I just walked though all of this and have been given a key myself.
