If your application is not running on Google Compute Engine,

you need a `Google Developers Service Account`_.

#. Visit the `Google Developers Console`_.

#. Create a new project or click on an existing project.

#. Navigate to **APIs & auth** > **APIs** and enable the APIs

that your application requires.

Find the "Add credentials" drop down and select "Service account" to be

guided through downloading a new JSON keyfile.

If you want to re-use an existing service account,

you can easily generate a new keyfile.

Just select the account you wish to re-use,

and click **Generate new JSON key**:
