To make any request to Map Management API, you must include:
The number or ID of your Google Cloud project in the
X-Goog-User-Project header of the request. This value determines the
project used for billing and usage quota calculations.
An OAuth token in the Authorization header of the request. For more
information about using OAuth with Map Management API, see
Use OAuth.
A Google Cloud project number or ID in the request URL. This value
specifies the project containing the dataset. While this project is usually
the same as the project specified in the X-Goog-User-Project header, it
is not required to be the same.
The dataset ID in the request URL. Whenever you perform an action on a
specific dataset, you pass the ID of the dataset as part of the request URL.
You can include the gcloud command directly in the Authorization header in a
cURL command to generate a new token on each request, as shown in the example
above.
Alternatively, you can set an environment variable containing the token and then
pass the environment variable as part of the request:

For more information about service accounts, see [Authentication at Google](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication).\n- An OAuth token in the `Authorization` header of the request.
