Can't obtain google maps api key

Question

I obtained fingerprint and put it into corresponding form at http://code.google.com/android/maps-api-signup.html, but when I pressed "Generate API key", I saw no key, it looks like that:

No key, only question marks. Did anyone encounter this problem? I tried to change encoding and use another browser but always got the same result. What's the matter?

Answer 1

That page would have given you an old-style API key that would only work with deprecated APIs, so just forget about it.

Instead, use the API Console to create a key under API Access. See Obtaining an API Key for details.
