목 / Title]Request to Restore Standard 'AIza' API Key Format for My Account

Gemini API
1

Hello,

I am writing to request a review of my account to restore the ability to generate standard API keys starting with AIza.

Currently, whenever I create a new API key in Google AI Studio, it generates a restricted token format starting with AQ. instead of the standard AIza prefix.

Due to this format difference, my development environment and third-party libraries [사용 중인 프레임워크나 라이브러리 이름 적기, 예: LangChain / Python google-generativeai SDK] cannot recognize the key, preventing me from proceeding with my project.

I suspect my account might have been flagged or put into a restricted safety mode automatically. I have secured all my previous keys and ensured no credentials are leaked.

Could the support team please review my account status and restore the permission to generate standard AIza API keys?

  • Region: [South Korea]

Thank you for your assistance.

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!
