Since Google APIs use the OAuth 2.0 protocol for authentication and authorization, you will need to select the OAuth 2.0 authentication type when configuring your connection. :::hint{type="info"} For details on required APIs, scopes, and connection settings, refer to the API documentation of the specific Google service you are using. You can find it in the [Google APIs Explorer](https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/). ::: To call Google APIs with the **HTTP > Make a request** module, you need to: 1. [Create and configure a Google Cloud Platform project](docId:2MZj8dpgNdiJekaDPFBrc) 2. [Establish the OAuth connection in Make](docId:2MZj8dpgNdiJekaDPFBrc) 3. [Configure the HTTP module to send the request](docId:2MZj8dpgNdiJekaDPFBrc) ## Create and configure a Google Cloud Platform project To connect Make to Google services using your custom client credentials, you need to create and configure a project in the Google Cloud Platform. ### Create a Google Cloud Platform project ::::WorkflowBlock :::WorkflowBlockItem Log in to the [Google Cloud Platform](https://console.cloud.google.com/) using your Google credentials. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem On the welcome page, click **Create or select a project.** ::Image[****]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/oAyFj2GHlBeBVWF5OAir2/iUUfJBhljqxbp2J37P6Zh-20250912-100329.png" size="80" width="1870" height="1220" position="center" darkWidth="1870" darkHeight="1220" showCaption="false"} ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem In the next window, click **New project **in the upper-right corner. ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/oAyFj2GHlBeBVWF5OAir2/TwqnY3iDQMsafLpxzv4JU-20250912-100529.png" size="80" width="1244" height="364" position="center" darkWidth="1244" darkHeight="364" showCaption="false"} ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Change the default **Project name **and **Project ID**, if needed.
