Actually, you can obtain a v3 key through the API Console for the purposes of monitoring your usage (e.g., how much of the transaction limit you're using). But there have been sporatic reports of issues with the API Console where keys for various services have abruptly stopped working. I would suggest that the original poster post to the Google AJAX APIs group because the issue seems to be in the Console and the Console dev team at least monitors that group.
