Hey Community 
Did you know that getting an API key for the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) allows you to use it for any Google Service you like (i.a. Maps, Pagespeed, Translate, Places …)? 
How do you get one? 
Easy, just follow these steps!
Navigate to the GCP webpage and sign in (you can’t miss it 
).
Enter your console and navigate to API credentials.
Create your very own API key 
Copy the API key and connect to any Google Service in dashdash! 
Build cool apps with Google Services in dashdash
Provide the API key you’ve just generated when connecting to any Google Service in dashdash.
Head to our Integrations Marketplace and select the Google Service you’d like to connect to. Hit CONNECT.
Copy-paste your new API key here and click CONNECT again.
Done! Now you can build apps using the Google Custom Search - Site Restricted integration. Repeat this process for any other Google Service (Maps, Translate, Pagespeed).
Looking for some inspiration? Here are some cool apps we’ve built:
- Generate Leads through LinkedIn using the Google Custom Search - Site Restricted integration
- Find a place, its address, phone number, and URL or geocode and reverse geocode connecting to the Google Maps integration
- Track your page speed using the Google Pagespeed integration
- Translate content programmatically with Google Translate
Happy building!
