Use one of the following formats:

  • projects/{PROJECT_ID}/serviceAccounts/{EMAIL_ADDRESS}/keys/{KEY_ID}
  • projects/{PROJECT_ID}/serviceAccounts/{UNIQUE_ID}/keys/{KEY_ID}

As an alternative, you can use the- wildcard character instead of the project ID:

  • projects/-/serviceAccounts/{EMAIL_ADDRESS}/keys/{KEY_ID}
