You must enable this API before you can use it.\n\nEnable the Monitoring API\n-------------------------\n\nTo determine whether the Monitoring API is enabled or to enable the\nAPI, use either the Google Cloud console or the Google Cloud CLI.\n\n\n### Google Cloud console\n\n1. In the Google Cloud console, select the Google Cloud project for\n which you want to enable the API,\n and then go to the **APIs \\& Services** page:\n\n [Go to **APIs \\& Services**](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/dashboard)\n2. Click the **Enable APIs and Service** button.\n\n3. Search for \"Monitoring\".\n\n4. In the search results, click through to \"Stackdriver Monitoring API\".\n\n5. If \"API enabled\" is displayed, then the API is already enabled. If\n not, then click **Enable**.\n\n### gcloud CLI\n\n1. If you have not already installed the Google Cloud CLI on your\n workstation, see\n [Installing the gcloud CLI](/sdk/docs/install).\n\n2. To see if the Monitoring API is enabled, run the following\n command on your workstation, after replacing \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003ePROJECT_ID\u003c/var\u003e with the\n ID of the project for which you want to enable the API:\n\n gcloud services list --project=\u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003ePROJECT_ID\u003c/var\u003e\n\n If `monitoring.googleapis.com` appears in the output, the API is\n enabled.\n3. If the API is not enabled, then run the following command to enable it:\n\n gcloud services enable monitoring --project=\u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003ePROJECT_ID\u003c/var\u003e\n\n For more information, see\n [`gcloud services`](/sdk/gcloud/reference/services).\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\nAuthorize use of the Monitoring API\n-----------------------------------\n\nAccess to the Monitoring API is controlled by\nIdentity and Access Management (IAM) roles and permissions.\nThere is a permission associated with each method, and\npermissions for related methods are clustered into roles, which can then\nbe granted to users. For more information, see\n[Control access with IAM](/monitoring/access-control).\n\nAfter access to an API is authorized, the API can be used from anywhere.\nFor example, you can call the [`timeSeries.list`](/monitoring/api/ref_v3/rest/v3/projects.timeSeries/list)\nmethod from your local workstation. You can also use the API to send\nmetrics against any entity that can be represented as a monitored resource.\nSee [Monitored-resource types for user-defined metrics](/monitoring/custom-metrics#which-resource)\nfor the list of available types.\n\nIf you are writing an application that uses the\nrecommended [client libraries](/monitoring/docs/reference/libraries), these libraries\nauthorize your application by using\n[Application Default Credentials](/docs/authentication/production).\n\nYou might also be able to use API keys in some situations, but service accounts\nare generally recommended. API keys are useful in clients like\nbrowsers and mobile applications that don't have a backend server.\nFor more information, see [Using API Keys](/docs/authentication/api-keys).\n\nYou can find out more about authentication and authorization\nin our [Authentication guide](/docs/authentication/getting-started)."]]
