How to get your own API key

Step 1:

-- Make sure you have a Google Account and make sure it's login in your web browwser

Step 2:

-- Go to https://console.cloud.google.com/projectcreate. This will lead you to the Google Cloud page where you can create a new project

Step 3:

step 3Step 4:

-- Go to this page and you should see something like this. Click on "2. Get a Tenor API key"

step 4Step 5:

-- Select the project you just created by clicking on the dropdown and select the project with the name that you choose. If you don't see the project showing up, try and refresh the page a coule of times. Then click on "NEXT"

-- You should now see this, and while you can click the "SHOW KEY" now, I HIGHLY recommend you do the next step, which is restricting the API key to only use the Tenor API.
