gargle (version 0.1.3)

gargle_api_key: API key for demonstration purposes

Description

Returns an API key for use when test driving gargle. Some API requests for public resources do not require authorization, in which case the request can be sent with an API key in lieu of a token. If you want to get your own API key, setup a new project in Google Developers Console, enable the APIs of interest, and follow the instructions in Setting up API keys.

Usage

Value

A Google API key
