Getting your Google API key
- Visit https://console.developers.google.com/.
- Click the dropdown at the top of the page and select Create Project.
- A new box will pop open where you can enter your project name. You may enter whatever you like. Google will automatically generate a project ID for you, but you may customize it if you like.
- Click the button to Create. You will then see a progress bar pop up as Google creates your project. Wait until it's done and then the page will refresh.
- When you get to the new page, find the sidebar on the left, and click on Library.
- In the search box, search for books to find the Books API. Click that to be taken to the Books API page.
- On the new page, click the blue button to Enable.
- Once it's enabled, return to the sidebar and click on Credentials (this is under the "Library" menu from before).
- On the new page, click the blue button to Create Credentials and select "API Key".
- Then your API key will be created! Copy the value after Your API key and paste that into the Ultimate Book Blogger settings panel.
