Activating the API
For new projects, the Google Cloud Storage JSON API is activated by default, and it can be used immediately. Note that you must enable billing for your project before that project can create buckets. All other operations will work immediately.
For existing projects, the Google Cloud Storage JSON API can be enabled by visiting the Google Developers Console , going to a project's APIs & auth page, and setting the status for the Google Cloud Storage JSON API to ON.
