I want to include Google API in my app. I want to Define Outh2 Key, Secret Key and Developer Keys as Constants which i can call and use in the App controller.
Which is the best place to define the same ?

In cakephp 3 we declare constants in bootstrap. php file under /app/config folder. A constant can be declared as: Configure::write('CONSTANT_NAME', Value, true);
A constant is an identifier (name) for a simple value. The value cannot be changed during the script. A valid constant name starts with a letter or underscore (no $ sign before the constant name). Note: Unlike variables, constants are automatically global across the entire script.
Class constants are always case-sensitive. Global constants declared with const are always case-sensitive. It should be noted that this applies only to the shortname of the constant, while namespaces in PHP are always case-insensitive. Constants declared with define() are case-sensitive by default.
/app/Config/bootstrap.php
I wouldn't set them up as constants, I'd use the configure class to store them:
Configure::write(array(
'outh2.key'=>'foo',
'outh2.secret_key'=>'bar',
'outh2.dev_key'=>'baz'
));
$key = Configure::read('outh2.key');
You may announce class which works with google API in vendors, there you define needle constants as usual. And in your app controller only include vendor like this:
<?php
App::import('Vendor', 'google', array('file' => 'google.php'));
class AppController extends Controller {
