How do I get a token to use Google Cloud (Container Engine JSON API)?

3/31/2017

I just want to create an OAuth token that I can use when accessing the Container Engine service. But the docs are hopeless in this regard.

Could somebody explain how to generate a token? Every other REST service I've ever used gives me a way of clicking a button and obtaining a token.

NOTE: Must not require installing any proprietary software, e.g. the Google SDK.

omg, that was so painful to discover. But eventually I fumbled into this:

(replace projectId with the value for your setup)

which lets you generate an API key.
