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

Question

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?

You need API key only for the officially not supported languages. https://firebase.google.com/docs/libraries/ — Babu, Sep 27 '16 at 08:55

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.

Is the **Server key** same as the API key ? – Swapnil Aug 24 '16 at 17:04
In this context yes – Diego Giorgini Aug 24 '16 at 18:17

I think the Server Key is not the same as the Web API Key, some other answers in here show they are used for different pourposes. – Ariel Moraes Apr 25 '17 at 19:24

You can open the project in the firebase, then you should click on the project overview, then goto project settings you will see the web API Key there.

1.Create a Firebase project in the Firebase console, if you don't already have one. If you already have an existing Google project associated with your app, click Import Google Project. Otherwise, click Create New Project.

2.Click settings and select Permissions.

3.Select Service accounts from the menu on the left.

4.Click Create service account.

Enter a name for your service account.
You can optionally customize the ID from the one automatically generated from the name.
Select Furnish a new private key and leave the Key type as JSON.
Leave Enable Google Apps Domain-wide Delegation unselected.
Click Create.

This might be what you're looking for. This was in the tutorial on the site

This for the officially supported firebase SDKs. Where in the doc it says, Java and nodejs. — Babu, Sep 27 '16 at 08:46

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

 FirebaseOptions.fromResource(context).getApiKey()

You can also get the API key in the android studio. Switch to Project view in android then find the google-services.json. Scroll down and you will find the api_key
