To create an API key, navigate to the Credentials page in the Google Cloud console and generate one, or use the `gcloud` command in the Cloud SDK. Restricting API keys is recommended for security and to prevent abuse. This involves setting application restrictions (like IP addresses) and API restrictions. The key should then be included in every Solar API request, using HTTPS.\n"]]
