Back in 2010, we launched
the Google APIs Console, enabling you to manage multiple Google APIs from a single,
centralized console.
Today, we are introducing the Google Cloud Console, our next evolution of the APIs Console.
The new Google Cloud Console makes managing the over 60 Google APIs housed within easier than
ever. It brings an entirely new visual design and integrates tightly with our Cloud Platform
services, enabling you to manage an end-to-end application deployment. For the past few weeks,
we've given you the ability to opt in to the new experience, and starting soon we'll be making
it the default (with the ability to go back to the old experience if you prefer).
You'll notice an entirely new visual design, a hierarchical navigation, and even a friendly
new URL structure.
We’ve also simplified the process of getting API credentials. Now, you can register an app on
the platform you are building on, then see all the possible credential types for your
application, making it easier to quickly grab the credentials you need.
If you haven't already, give the new Cloud Console a shot. We'd love to hear your thoughts and
feedback in the comments section below.
