Request to restore standard AIza key generation for my account

Gemini API
1

Hello,

I am trying to use the Gemini API with a third-party application that strictly validates and requires the legacy AIzaSy API key prefix.

Unfortunately, my Google AI Studio account is currently only generating the new AQ. format keys. Because of this prefix mismatch, the third-party application throws a validation error and refuses to accept the key.

Could an admin or community manager please manually revert or flag my developer account to restore standard AIza key generation?

Thank you for your help!

We are moving away from Traffic keys (Alza) and towards a more secure Authentication Key (AQ). AI Studio will now only generate Authentication Key (AQ) keys. More information on key usage can be found in the Using Gemini API keys documentation.

Please submit any compatibility issues with services / SDKs etc. in this form for our engineering team to review. Thanks!
