This document shows how to access Street View Insights and how to set up your Google Cloud project. ## Request access to Street View Insights [Sign up](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSetyVSIJc2U4C8rn7Z2olWhK9MEbD_YPadqHuPO3SE-yL21yg/viewform) to record your interest in Street View Insights. For more information about usage requirements, see [Policies and attributions](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/street-view-insights/policies.md.txt). This guide shows how to set up your Google Cloud project before using the Google Maps Platform APIs. Although you might have completed some of these steps in the [Getting started with Google Maps Platform](https://developers.google.com/maps/get-started.md.txt) guide, this document provides additional instructions for managing your projects. ## Create a project To use Google Maps Platform, you must have a project to manage services, credentials, billing, APIs, and SDKs. Each project requires [billing setup](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/street-view-insights/cloud-setup.md.txt#billing), but Google charges you only if a project exceeds its [quota](https://developers.google.com/maps/billing-and-pricing/billing#monthly-credit) of no-charge services. To create a Cloud project with billing enabled, complete the following steps: ### Console 1. Create a new Google Cloud project in the Cloud console. [Create new project](https://console.cloud.google.com/projectcreate?utm_source=Docs_NewProject&utm_content=Docs_CONSOLE_ID) 2. On the **New Project** page, fill in the required information: - **Project name**: accept the default or enter a custom name. You can change the project name at any time. For more information, see [Identifying projects](https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/creating-managing-projects#identifying_projects). - **Project ID** : accept the default or click **Edit** to enter a custom ID that Google APIs use as a unique identifier for your project. After you create the project, you *can't* change the project ID, so choose an ID that meets your needs for the lifetime of the project. Don't include any sensitive information in your project ID. - **Billing account**: select a billing account for the project. If you haven't set up a billing account or have only one billing account, you don't see this option. You must be a Billing Account Administrator or Project Billing Manager to associate a project with a billing account. For more information, see [Overview of Cloud Billing roles in IAM](https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/billing-access#overview_of_billing_roles_in). - **Location** : if you have an organization that you want to link your project to, click **Browse** and select it; otherwise, choose **No organization**. For more information, see [Creating and managing folders](https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/creating-managing-folders) and [Relationships between organizations, projects, and billing accounts](https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/billing-access#relationships-between-resources). 3. Click **Create**. ### gcloud ```bash gcloud projects create "PROJECT" ``` Read more about the [Google Cloud SDK](https://cloud.google.com/sdk), [Cloud SDK installation](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install), and the following commands: - [`gcloud projects create`](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/projects/create) ## Enable billing To deploy your apps, you must enable billing. Google doesn't charge your account if you stay within your [monthly quota](https://developers.google.com/maps/billing-and-pricing/billing#monthly-credit). If your application uses resources that exceed the monthly quota, Google charges you for the additional usage. If you have a billing account when you create a Cloud project, Google Cloud automatically enables billing on that project. To enable billing on a Cloud project, complete the following steps: 1. In the Cloud console, go to the **Billing** page: [Go to the Billing page](https://console.cloud.google.com/projectselector/billing?utm_source=Docs_Billing&utm_content=Docs_CONSOLE_ID) 2. Select or create a Cloud project. 3. Depending on whether a billing account exists or whether the selected Cloud project is associated with an account, the **Billing** page displays one of the following options: - If billing is already enabled for the selected Cloud project, the page lists the details about your billing account. - If no billing account exists, the console prompts you to create a billing account and associate it with the selected Cloud project. - If a billing account exists and the selected Cloud project isn't already associated with a billing account, the console prompts you to enable billing. You can also click **Cancel** , and then click **Create account** to create and associate a new billing account. After you enable billing, there's no limit to the amount that Google might charge you. To gain more control over your costs, you can [create a budget and set alerts](https://developers.google.com/maps/billing-and-pricing/billing#creating-budgets-and-set-alerts). For more information, see [Google Maps Platform billing](https://developers.google.com/maps/billing-and-pricing/billing). ## Enable APIs ### Console [Enable Vertex AI](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/aiplatform.googleapis.com) [Enable BigQuery](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/bigquery.googleapis.com) [Enable Cloud Storage](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/storage-component.googleapis.com) [Enable Analytics Hub API](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/analyticshub.googleapis.com) ### gcloud To use the Imagery Insights API, you must enable the following APIs: ```bash gcloud services enable \ --project=PROJECT_ID \ aiplatform.googleapis.com \ bigquery.googleapis.com \ storage-component.googleapis.com \ analyticshub.googleapis.com ``` You also must enable the service agent for Vertex AI: ```bash gcloud beta services identity create \ --service=aiplatform.googleapis.com \ --project=PROJECT_ID ``` ## View enabled APIs ### Console To view the APIs or SDKs that you've enabled, go to the Google Maps Platform **APIs \& Services** page in the Cloud console. [Go to the Google Maps Platform page](https://console.cloud.google.com/project/_/google/maps-apis/api-list?utm_source=Docs_ProjectViewAPI&utm_content=Docs_CONSOLE_ID) - **Additional APIs**: these APIs or SDKs aren't enabled. - If the page displays cards for individual Maps APIs and services, you haven't enabled any APIs or SDKs yet. ### gcloud ```bash gcloud services list --project "PROJECT" ``` Read more about the [Google Cloud SDK](https://cloud.google.com/sdk), [Cloud SDK installation](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install), and the following commands: - [`gcloud services list`](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/services/list) ## Shut down a project To disable billing and release all the Cloud resources that your Cloud project uses, shut down the project: ### Console 1. Go to the **Manage resources** page in the Cloud console. [Go to the Projects page](https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/projects?utm_source=Docs_ProjectShutdown&utm_content=Docs_CONSOLE_ID) 2. Select the Cloud project that you want to shut down, and then click **Delete**.
