API 金鑰是一種簡易字串，用於識別Google Cloud 專案的配額、帳單及監控等功能。開發人員會在 Google Cloud 控制台的專案中產生 API 金鑰，然後將該金鑰以查詢參數的形式，嵌入在對 API 發出的每一個呼叫中，或在要求標頭中嵌入。
如果您在 API 設定中指定 API 金鑰需求，API Gateway 會使用該 API 金鑰查詢相關聯的 Google Cloud 專案。除非該 API 金鑰是在您的 Google Cloud 專案中或在已啟用您 API 的其他Google Cloud 專案中產生，否則 API Gateway 會拒絕要求。
如要建立 API 金鑰，或查看 Google Cloud 專案中已可用的 API 金鑰，請前往「API 和服務」>「憑證」頁面。

A\ndeveloper generates an API key in a project in the Google Cloud console and\nembeds that key in every call to your API as a query parameter or in a request header.\n\nIf you specify an API key requirement in your API config,\nAPI Gateway uses the API key to look up the associated Google Cloud project. API Gateway rejects requests unless\nthe API key was generated in your Google Cloud project or within other\nGoogle Cloud projects in which your API has been enabled.\n| **Note:** Unlike credentials that use short-lived tokens or signed requests, API keys function as part of the API request. As a result, API keys are vulnerable to [man-in-the-middle attacks](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-in-the-middle_attack) and may not be as secure as other authentication credentials. You can use API keys in addition to one of the other [supported forms of authentication](/api-gateway/docs/authentication-method), but we do not recommend using *only* API keys when API calls contain sensitive data.\n\nTo create an API key, or view API keys already available within your Google Cloud project, go to the **APIs \\& Services** \\\u003e **Credentials** page.\n\n[Go to Credentials](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials)\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n### Use case\n\nTo use API Gateway features such as\n[quotas](/api-gateway/docs/quotas-overview), you can pass in an API\nkey so that API Gateway can identify the Google Cloud project\nthat the client application is associated with.\n\n### About API key authentication for API Gateway\n\nIf you are using an API key for authentication, you must first enable API key support\nfor your service.\n\nEnter the following command: \n\n```\ngcloud services enable MANAGED_SERVICE_NAME\n```\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\nThe \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eMANAGED_SERVICE_NAME\u003c/var\u003e specifies the name of the managed service created when you deployed the API. You can find this name in the Managed Service column for your API on the APIs landing page in the console. Alternatively, you can find this name in the `Managed service` property when using the `gcloud api-gateway apis describe` command.\n\nFor example: \n\n```\ngcloud services enable my-api-a12bcd345e67f89g0h.apigateway.my-project.cloud.goog\n```\n\n### Restricting API keys\n\nAPI keys are unrestricted by default. Unrestricted keys are insecure because\nthey can be used by anyone from anywhere. We recommend that you add *API restrictions* where possible.\nAPI restrictions specify which APIs can be called using the API key. All API keys used by production applications should have API restrictions.\n\nTo add API restrictions:\n\n1. Find the title of the API as noted in your API Config. In the following example, the API title is `My Example Config`:\n\n ```yaml\n # openapi.yaml\n swagger: '2.0'\n info:\n title: My Example Config\n description: Sample API on API Gateway\n version: 1.0.0\n ...\n ```\n2. In the Google Cloud console, go to the **APIs \\& Services** \\\u003e **Credentials** page.\n\n [Go to Credentials](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials)\n\n \u003cbr /\u003e\n\n3. Select the name of the API key you wish to use for your API.\n\n4. In the **API restrictions** section of the API key detail page, click **Restrict key**.\n\n5. Select the API that your API key will be used to access from the dropdown list of available APIs. For example, if\n using the example config above, select `My Example Config`.\n\n6. Click **Save**.\n\nYour restriction should take effect momentarily."]]
