@rhernand3z after doing a bit of digging the main thing i could see you having problems with api key auth is to make sure you have this in your security definition

securityDefinitions:
  # This section configures basic authentication with an API key.
  api_key:
    type: "apiKey"
    name: "key"
    in: "query"

and in addition to create the api key entry for

API_ID specifies the name of your API.
PROJECT_ID specifies the name of your Google Cloud project.

gcloud services enable API_ID.apigateway.PROJECT_ID.cloud.goog

i believe you still need to run that command even if your api key is set to unrestricted to create the entry in GCP behind the scenes.

Hey @amammay -- I was able to get it working properly. You were right the culprit was not executing:

gcloud services enable ...

Thanks for your help and a great article!
