Enable and disable APIs

Enabling an API associates it with the current project, adds monitoring pages, and enables billing for that API if billing is enabled for the project.

You can disable an API for a project at any time, although any pending fees will still be charged to your account. For more information, see APIs and Billing.

To enable or disable an API for your project:

1. Go to the Console.
2. From the projects list, select a project or create a new one.
3. If the API Manager page isn't already open, open the console menu    and select API Manager.
4. Click the API you want to enable or disable. If you need help finding the API, use the search field.
5. Click Enable or Disable.

Note: The process of enabling an API varies depending on the API. Some APIs will prompt you to accept their Terms of Service before you can enable them. Some APIs are in preview mode, meaning that they require special signup and whitelisting before you can use them. Others might ask for additional information, such as your organization's contact information and the name of the application you are developing. When more information is requested, it will not be shared outside of Google; it's used to help Google understand how the API is being used and as a secondary contact should we need to contact you regarding your use of the service.
