Hi, I’m working on a project using an account that now only generates
keys in the new AQ. format instead of AIzaSy. The AQ. keys don’t work
with the standard REST endpoint the same
code fine with an AIzaSy key from another account, so it
seems to be an account-level restriction.
Is there a way to restore AIzaSy-format key generation on this account?
It’s the account tied to the project I need to use.
Affected account email: A,,,@gmail.com
Thanks for any 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!
