To create one, go to the Google Maps Platform Credentials page and select \"Create credentials\" then \"API key,\" or use the Cloud SDK `gcloud services api-keys create` command. Restricting keys limits API usage, enhancing security and preventing unauthorized charges. This involves setting application and API restrictions through the Console, or updating restrictions via `gcloud services api-keys update`. Each request to the Pollen API must include the API key.\n"]]
