This situation is very embarrassing for Google. The direction is that API Basic Access takes 3-5 days to review and approve. We have been waiting for over a month.
Even more concerning is that receiving communication and support of any kind is
non-existent.
We are urgently blocked and require an escalation to resolve a very simple, standard request for basic API access.
Here is the information. Please escalate this or provide a path for us to do so.
