Where do I find my Google Font API Key? (Newbie)

Maybe the help page is a bit behind and refers to the 'old' console.

    I am working on a Wordpress site.
    Woothemes framework, Canvas theme from Woothemes.
    Have installed the plugin Google Webfonts for Woo Framework.
    So far - so good.
    Now I need a Google Font API key.
    So I have a registered developer account, and a Google Font project up and running via GoogleCloud Console. I have activated the Google Font API in the API list.
    But I can't find my Google Font API Key!
    I've followed the instructions as given here: https://developers.google.com/fonts/docs/developer_api
    It says:
    "To acquire an API key, visit the APIs Console. In the Services pane, activate the Google Fonts Developer API; if the Terms of Service appear, read and accept them. (Edit: Done this!)
    Next, go to the API Access pane. The API key is near the bottom of that pane, in the section titled "Simple API Access."(Can't find this at all!)
    Any ideas?
    Sorry if this is a terribly simple question!
    Kind regards
    Annelie

    Thanks. I've updated the documentation, which will be in releases after 1.3.3 of the plugin the OP is using.

    This plugin has moved on now. You don't need to provide your own API key - it uses a shared API key for all installs. It also has a hard-coded list of available fonts for when the API cannot be reached when in the admin page. I try to keep that list updated regularly.
