Retrieve Google Maps API Key

Using Google Places API requires an API key. I remembered I registered for one and used it successfully, but this was several months ago. Now I can't find this key!! Any clue of where I can look it up again? I tried to look through my Google account but no success!

Thanks,

In order to use the Places API you do need a developer key, at least if you want to go over 1000 queries a day. You registered for it in the Google API Console, and you can find it again there.
