Google App Engine - Google APIs Console - Google Cloud Console - google-app-engine

I wanted to ask what the difference between Google App Engine, Google APIs Console and Google Cloud Console is?
I will deploy a Project which will fetch some Websites and provide the data to my Android Application.
What is the best to use? I do not know what is for what.

Google App Engine lets you run web applications on Google's infrastructure : https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/whatisgoogleappengine
Google APIs Console is Console to administrate Google API (deprecated)
Google Cloud Console is new version of Google APIs Console.
So for your Project use Google App Engine.
And for example use URL Fetch https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/urlfetch/

A bit of background: At one point in time, Google APIs had its own console and Google App Engine had its own console. Eventually, it was decided that we should merge these two consoles into one console. We've already turned down the APIs console, and we're working on turning down the App Engine admin console.
So to answer your question: you should use the Cloud console unless you need to use the App Engine admin console for some obscure reason.

Google App Engine Custom Admin Pages in the New Google Cloud Console

I'm a Google App Engine user, and I got this message saying the old app engine console will be retired by the end of March.
However - as it seems, there is no place in the Google Cloud Console (which is supposed to be the only available console to manage App Engine projects) to access and use the custom admin pages used to manage the project.
Does anyone know what is up with that?
Thanks,

Does Google provide support for Google APIs for vaadin if not using google app engine as a runtime..?

I am new in vaadin and developing a web project so want to know if i do't use Google App Engine as my project's run time environment so that am able to use Google all APIs such as:
*Calender API
*Contact API
*Drive API
* and also other which google provide :
Google APIs
As i get to know that GAE has lot of limitations.
Please suggest me for the structure design of an Enterprise project with
Maven+vaadin+Runtime Environment(Jboss)+Eclipse+MySQL
Google APIs does not require your application to be running on Google App Engine unless of course you’re trying to use an App Engine specific API like this.
If you’re seeking suggestions on how to structure your project using Google App Engine, you may want to do so in official App Engine Google Group as such questions can be considered too broad on stackoverflow.

Using Google App Engine with mobile apps and a web app

I have just started looking into using Google App Engine for a project I'm developing. The project will have an Android and iPhone app as well as a web application that a set of users can log into. I have a couple basic questions concerning the use of Google App Engine...
Is it possible to use google app engine in conjunction with your own web app? Or would I post the web app itself on Google App Engine? Is it that I'd use my web app AND Google App Engine, or would those be the same thing? I guess this is the main point I'm not clear on.
I'm kind of concerned about putting all of our data on Google's servers and not directly owned by myself. Is this just something I'll have to get over?
Thanks for any help!
Edit: The web app will need to have a decent amount of functionality in addition to the mobile apps. Is the Google App Engine mostly for projects which only/mainly have mobile apps?
Google App Engine includes Google Cloud Endpoints for Android, iOS and web clients. The client web app can be hosted on AppEngine or elsewhere. If you host the client web app in the same application that hosts the Cloud Endpoints, authentication and data sharing is easier to achieve.
Yes, you'll just have to get over putting all of your data on Google's servers. Google does not publish or index your data, except for the data your app itself publishes to anonymous clients.

View all requests on Google Cloud Console?

I just started using Google Cloud Console.
Even without creating any instance either on Compute Engine or App Engine, I see few request received by Google on my project. I am guessing these are the calls made by Google to set up my project. Found them on the main project homepage.
Is there a way for me to see all requests Google received for my project?
Thanks!
For Google Compute Engine, you can access them by going to "Operations". You can click on the Operation to get details about it.

Console - created new project; auto-created app engine app; can't set billing

I am getting very confused with the whole cloud console api console thing.
I just created a new Cloud Console project in order to setup some GCE instances. It seems to have auto-created an App Engine app. That is fine, but when I go to enable billing, it tells me that it cannot enable billing for app engine apps and that I need to do that in App Engine Console.
Earlier this week, I tried to setup a project to include both an existing App Engine app and Compute Engine. I was asked to got through the request access process like before GCE was available.
I created a project in the Cloud Console by starting in the App Engine console and choosing Cloud Integration. I said there was an error creating the project, but it seems like it created it. However, when I go to that project in Cloud Console, there is no option to even add Compute Engine.
Two questions:
(1) Is there something outlining the differences between Cloud Console and API Console and when it is most appropriate to use one over the other?
(2) How do I get a project (in either one I suppose) that includes an existing App Engine app and Compute Engine resources that I want to create in this project?
Thanks for your help.

Cloud Console is essentially a planned replacement for the API console,
however it may not have all functionality yet
Try going to appengine admin console application settings, and at the bottom of
the page cloud integration. Click on create project. Once it succeeds go to the cloud
console and enable billing for Compute Engine
