title: How do I get a Google Places API key for my Android App
body: <p>I've spent the last 48 hours pulling my hair out trying to find the answer to this question. The person who asked this question: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23128152/how-can-i-make-api-key-for-google-places-api">how can I make API KEY for Google Places api?</a>
  Is experiencing the same issue I am having, but never got an answer.</p>
  <p>Basically, I need help getting a Google PLACES api key. I already have a maps api key which works fine, but I cannot get a places API key. I have followed every single tutorial I could find including (To name a couple: (<a href="http://wptrafficanalyzer.in/blog/showing-nearby-places-using-google-places-api-and-google-map-android-api-v2/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://wptrafficanalyzer.in/blog/showing-nearby-places-using-google-places-api-and-google-map-android-api-v2/</a>) , (<a href="http://www.androidhive.info/2012/08/android-working-with-google-places-and-maps-tutorial/#" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.androidhive.info/2012/08/android-working-with-google-places-and-maps-tutorial/#</a>) , (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PVK1Ue5rvk" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PVK1Ue5rvk</a>) But absolutely nothing has worked.</p>

  <p>Everyone I ask keeps telling me that it is just located somewhere on the <a href="https://console.developers.google.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://console.developers.google.com</a> website, but 2 solid days of looking has gotten me nowhere. Can someone please help me to find the EXACT location to obtain a places api? (Again, NOT a maps api, I already have that and am getting only REQUEST_DENIED errors due to my lack of a secondary key.</p>
