⚠️ The following description can change over time. Make sure to obtain an OAuth key and not an API key! You can search on Google or YouTube to get a better process description like e.g. this blog post.

  • Goto Google Developers Console

    Make sure that you logged in with the Google Account which will be associated with your new OAuth key

  • Create a project and named it e.g. Raycast

    This step take some seconds until the project is created.
