# Enable APIs

The Homey Nest SDM app needs some API´s enabled on the Google GCP Project, this allows the app to enable additional API´s and create subscriptions to the Google Event subsystem. This way the app is able to receive events from your Nest Devices.

You need to enable the Service Usage and the Resource Manager API services for your GCP project. Both links are below, just click and enable:
{% endhint %}

Make sure that the correct project is active. You will receive error code 403 Forbidden in the app when these API's are not enabled.
