On the Firebase documentation, it states that the web API key will be auto-generated when:

Firebase will automatically create a new web API key for your project when you do any of the following:

Create a Firebase project > Browser key auto-created.

Create a Firebase> iOS App > iOS key auto-created.

Create a Firebase Android App > Android > key auto-created.

I have tried creating a new Firebase project as stated, but the web API key is not being generated.

UPDATE: The answer to the question is in the comments. ("It gets generated once you go into the "Authentication" section for the first time")

You have to create Authentication in your Firebase project. Check your "Authentication" section! – The Anh Nguyen Nov 17 '20 at 06:01

I contacted Firebase support and got an answer. The web key is also known as the *Browser key* in Google Cloud: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials – levibostian Dec 01 '20 at 16:05

in your firebase panel just open authentication section and it then return to the last page. API key will be there :) – Sam Dec 14 '20 at 09:06
