# Create credentials?

 * Hi I would like to use the nice function of viewing some analytics data in the
   WordPress Dashboard. But I am new to this and confused. Maybe Google have changed
   the way it works??
 * When I follow your link to Google “Credentials” I land on a page for APIs & Services.(
   I have never used that before.) There I can only see “Create project”, not “Create
   credentials”.
    But maybe more important: If I create a project, I do not see 
   any choice for OAuth client or Web application? I can only choose “Location” (
   organization or folder?). What should I put there? Or where did I go wrong..?
 * Or is it something basic I must register in the Cloud platform first? I do use
   Analytics, but I don´t remember having worked in the Google Cloud Platform before..?
   
   I also just the other day changed SEO plugin, to avoid bloat. And started using
   your light plugin to add the Analytics Tracking ID.

 * Indeed, when there are no apps in Google Cloud yet, it asks you to create a first
   one; sorry, I couldn’t experience this for a long time and my documentation is
   imperfect because of that 🙂 I tried to make it better here:

 * Google Cloud is not super user-friendly. After creating the app, you can use 
   the link I provide on my tutorial ([https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials](https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials)).
 * This is also accessible through the Burger Icon at the top left of Google Cloud,
   and in this long menu you’ll find “APIs & Services”. And then, in this section,
   you have another menu and there is “Credentials”.

 * So yes, the general idea is to create your own Google Cloud App, which will be
   only used by by you.
 * The credentials configuration will allow the Meow Analytics installed on your
   site to connect to it. Then through it, you will be able to get your Analytics
   data.
 * That makes you totally independent of any other system or server, it’s just you
   and Google. Please try, you can do it 🙂
