Authentication to Google API (Enable Credentials)
1) API Keys
3) OAuth 2.0 Client IDs
3) Service Accounts

API Key
It is a least secure option to authenticate Google API, which means that it isn’t enough for certain applications. For example you wants to authenticate Google Drive API, In this case only API Key is not enough, we need to use OAuth 2.0 Client IDs with this API key. API Keys Identifies your project using a simple API key to check quota and access

OAuth 2.0 Client IDs
If you need users to provide permission to your app, you can use the OAuth 2.0 standard. This will ask users to authorize your app before you’ll be able to make changes using any APIs. This is a necessity for front-end applications and certain APIs (such as the Gmail API, Google Drive API, Google Map API). Requests user consent so your app can access the user's data

Service Accounts
The final option is a service account: a special type of Google account used to represent a non-human user. This is the best solution for us to control Google Drive, Gmail using a server-side app. Service account enables server-to-server, app-level authentication using robot accounts.
