Announcement: On November 13, 2024, all users will need to use a Cloud project in order to access Earth Engine. After this date, continued individual access without a Cloud project will require an exception.

Earth Engine is integrated with Google Cloud Platform. Specifically, the
Earth Engine REST API is a
Google Cloud API. When you make calls to a Cloud API, you make calls through a
Cloud Project. Each project needs to be
registered to access the Earth
Engine API. This enables usage, storage and permissions to be configured
and monitored at the project level and more easily managed for groups or
collaborators.
If you don't specify a project, the
Code Editor makes calls
through an Earth Engine owned project. You can optionally set the Code
Editor to make calls through a Cloud Project owned by you or your
organization.
See the Projects page to learn
how Earth Engine calls made via the Code Editor, a client library, the
command line or the REST API are associated with a Cloud Project.
