Oct 10, 2017 Introducing IBM Cloud IAM Service IDs and API Keys IBM Cloud Identity & Access Management (IAM) enables you to securely authenticate users and control access to all cloud resources consistently on the IBM Bluemix Platform. Starting in September 2017, you can authenticate your applications or services by using service IDs. Jun 20, 2011  Removing these keys will remove that user's ability to use the SoftLayer API. Cloud.ibm.com API key. NOTE when using a cloud.ibm.com key, your username when authenticating with the SL API will be LITTERALLY ‘apikey’, not your actual username. Understanding API keys; Managing user API keys ibmcloud iam api-key-create TEST-cgallo01. API Docs lists the documentation of the APIs supported on IBM Cloud. Language Translator. Create a service ID, add an API key, and assign.

New Users: Before you can start using the Google Maps Platform APIs and SDKs, you must sign up and create a billing account.To learn more, see Get Started with Google Maps Platform.

To use the Maps Embed API you must have an API key. The API key is a unique identifier that isused to authenticate requests associated with your project for usage and billing purposes.

Get the API key

You must have at least one API key associated with your project.

To get an API key:

1. Visit the Google Cloud Platform Console.
2. Click the project drop-down and select or create the project for which you want to add an API key.
3. Click the menu button and select APIs & Services > Credentials.
4. On the Credentials page, click Create credentials > API key.
   The API key created dialog displays your newly created API key.
5. Click Close.
   The new API key is listed on the Credentials page under API keys.
   (Remember to restrict the API key before using it in production.)

Add the API key to your request

You must include an API key with every Maps Embed API request.In the following example, replace YOUR_API_KEY withyour API key.

For more information about MODE and parameters options in the code above, see Forming the URL for the Maps Embed API.

Restrict the API key

We strongly recommend that you restrict your API key. Restrictions provide added security and helpensure only authorized requests are made with your API key. There are two restrictions. You shouldset both:

• Application restriction: Limits usage of the API key to either websites (HTTP referrers), web servers (IP addresses), or mobile apps (Android apps or iOS apps). You can select only one restriction from this category, based on the platform of the API or SDK (see GMP APIs by Platform).

  Note: If you need to call web, web service, and/or mobile APIs from the same (client-side) app, create and restrict multiple keys.

• API restriction: Limits usage of the API key to one or more APIs or SDKs. Requests to an API or SDK associated with the API key will be processed. Requests to an API or SDK not associated with the API key will fail. (The API or SDK must be enabled and must support the application restriction.)

To restrict an API key:

1. Go to the Google Cloud Platform Console.
2. Click the project drop-down select the project that contains the API key you want to secure.
3. Click the menu button and select APIs & Services > Credentials.
4. On the Credentials page, click the name of the API key that you want to secure.
5. On the Restrict and rename API key page, set the restrictions:
   
   • Application restrictions
   • Select HTTP referrers (web sites).
   • Add the referrers.
   • API restrictions
   • Select Restrict key.
   • Click Select APIs and select Maps Embed API.
     (If the Maps Embed API is not listed, you need to enable it.)
   • Click SAVE.

Have a customer who reports that he cannot find this option in bluemix console: 'Login to Bluemix to create one if you don't already have one. Follow Manage -> Account -> Users. Click on Bluemix API Keys' The correct way to create an API key for your user identity in the Bluemix UI is as follows: Go to Manage > Security > Platform API keys. Click Create API key. Enter a name and description for your API key. Click Create API key.

Yes, the UI has changed a lot. You are welcome to put this in a PR.
