How do I add an IPv6 address to Google API Credentials?

Question

I have a Ruby app in development that uses the Google API (custom search engine). It's been working great with the Public API access key.

I just upgraded my internet to Uverse and suddently the Google API stopped working. I figured out the issue was the IP address. My Uverse modem uses IPv6.

Unfortunately, Google Developer Public API access keys seem to only accept IPv4 addresses so when I try to add my IPv6 address I get the error message: "The IP address is invalid".

Has anyone been able to get this to work? I would prefer not to implement oAuth if I can avoid it.

Apparently there is a bug with the new Google Developers console. By switching back to the original console, you can edit the allowable IP's and include IPv6 addresses.
