On Chrome you should be able to start network logging, use speechSynthesis.speak() with a Google voice, stop the network log and search the log for the remote request to Google servers which includes the API key. 

You can also do that for webkitSpeechSpeechRecognition() which uses remote Google servers exclusively.

Another way I've gotten the Google API key is using the Chrome TTS extension https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/refs/heads/main/chrome/common/extensions and running chrome.systemPrivate.getApiKey((key) => console.log(key)).

Note that this is probably a violation of the terms of service of the API, so I wouldn't recommend going down this path.

What terms of service? Chromium doesn't have any AFAICT.

Chromium is FOSS, the code is on GitHub and elsewhere. 

It's absurd that Chromium sends users' PII biometric data to remote Google server for webkitSpeechRecognition - using that API key - where who knows what happens to all of those recording of users' voices, and then agents of Chromium/Google proofer the idea of violating some undisclosed "terms of service".

I don't think so. You've alluded to some as yet undisclosed "terms" yet have failed to produce any citation. You certainly cannot produce a signature binding me to any contractual obligation to Google, or Chromium.

I believe kmoon@ was referring to the terms of service for the services in question.

Note that we provide a documented way for you to get your own API keys. Telling people to reverse engineer parts of Chrome to extract key information is not that way.

Please do not continue this discussion. It's not an appropriate topic for chromium-dev@.
