I can’t get the Web API Key as you describe in book. Also several views of firebase have changed. Do you have an updated version of the book?
Hi.
We’re currently working on an updated version of the eBook.
You’ll get free access to the eBook when it is released.
You can find the API key on the same menu we mention in the eBook, but you’ll need to scroll down until you see a small snippet of code. Inside that snippet, you can find some information about your projects, including the API key.
Let me know if you can find it, or if you need further help.
Regards,
Sara

It seems they completely changed that area now and you need to create an app first before getting access to the API key.
At the bottom of that page, click on the </> icon to create a web app.
- Give a name to your app. For example “ESP IOT App”. Select Also set up Firebase Hosting. Click on Register App.
- In the next section, a code snipet will show up. In the firebaseConfig variable, you can see the apiKey. Copy the API key. Then, click Next.
- Click Next-
- Continue to the Console
Now, you can see that on your project setting page, you have the firebaseConfig variable with the API key.
Let me know if you can get the API key.
Now, you don’t need to follow section 4) on page 128 because we already did it here.
