COPY-READY BACKEND GUIDE

How to update the backend with API keys

Copy these commands into Google Cloud Shell when you are ready. This page only shows the procedure—it never asks for, transmits, or stores an API key.

Choose one provider
This example uses Nevada 511. Substitute the matching environment variable and Secret ID from the table above.
```
PROJECT_ID="asc-2026"
REGION="us-west4"
SERVICE="civicshield-api"
ENV_VAR="NVROADS_API_KEY"
SECRET_ID="nvroads-api-key"
```

Create the secret once

Enable Secret Manager, then create the named container. Skip the create command if this Secret ID already exists.

gcloud services enable secretmanager.googleapis.com \
  --project="$PROJECT_ID"

gcloud secrets create "$SECRET_ID" \
  --project="$PROJECT_ID" \
  --replication-policy="automatic"

Add or rotate the key

The hidden prompt keeps the credential out of the command itself. Press Enter after pasting the provider key.

read -rsp "Provider API key: " CIVICSHIELD_SECRET && echo
printf %s "$CIVICSHIELD_SECRET" | gcloud secrets versions add "$SECRET_ID" \
  --project="$PROJECT_ID" \
  --data-file=-
unset CIVICSHIELD_SECRET

Attach it to Cloud Run

This creates a new backend revision and exposes the secret only as the selected server-side environment variable.

gcloud run services update "$SERVICE" \
  --project="$PROJECT_ID" \
  --region="$REGION" \
  --update-secrets="$ENV_VAR=$SECRET_ID:latest"

Verify the new revision

This prints the ready revision and service URL without printing any secret value.

gcloud run services describe "$SERVICE" \
  --project="$PROJECT_ID" \
  --region="$REGION" \
  --format="value(status.latestReadyRevisionName,status.url)"

Never expose a key

Do not paste secrets into a camera URL, JSON import, browser storage, client-side code, Git repository, screenshot, or support message. Rotate the key immediately if it is exposed.
