Worth noting that Google has essentially deprecated Cloud Datastore in favor of Firebase Cloud Firestore. As far as I can tell, its unclear what the exact relationship between these two products is, but if you have a GCP Project which has never used Cloud Datastore but has the Cloud Firestore Beta enabled, you cannot access Cloud Datstore.

FYI, you can use the Datastore API with Firstore, you just don't get the real-time features. Firestore is backwards compatible with Datastore AFAIK.
