I am trying to figure out how the new version of GCM or Firebase Cloud Messaging works so I moved one of my projects to the new Firebase console, If I did not have the API KEY or I want to create a new one... where can I do it?

You need API key only for the officially not supported languages. firebase.google.com/docs/libraries – Babu

It's in https://console.firebase.google.com/project/(your-project-id)/settings/cloudmessaging

You can find the API KEY in:

(gear-next-to-project-name) > Project Settings > Cloud Messaging

Server Key is the API key.

1.Create a Firebase project in the Firebase console, if you don't already have one. If you already have an existing Google project associated with your app, click Import Google Project. Otherwise, click Create New Project.

2.Click settings and select Permissions.

3.Select Service accounts from the menu on the left.

4.Click Create service account.

  • Enter a name for your service account.
  • You can optionally customize the ID from the one automatically generated from the name.
  • Select Furnish a new private key and leave the Key type as JSON.
  • Leave Enable Google Apps Domain-wide Delegation unselected.
  • Click Create.

This might be what you're looking for. This was in the tutorial on the site

If you want to get the current api key programmatically in android studio, use FirebaseOptions.fromResource(context).getApiKey()

admin should give you access to view the project settings, otherwise cloud messaging tab will be hidden on your console
