Generate Google Map Api Key V3



Apr 10, 2020  New Users: Before you can start using the Google Maps Platform APIs and SDKs, you must sign up and create a billing account. To learn more, see Get Started with Google Maps Platform. To use the Maps Embed API you must have an API key. The API key is a unique identifier that is used to authenticate requests associated with your project for usage and billing purposes. Tip: During development and testing, you can register a project for testing purposes in the Google API Console and use a generic, unrestricted API key. When you are ready to move your app or website into production, register a separate project for production, create a browser-restricted API key, and add the key to your application.

To use the Maps Embed API you must have an API key. The API key is a unique identifier that isused to authenticate requests associated with your project for usage and billing purposes.

Get the API key

You must have at least one API key associated with your project.

To get an API key:

  1. Visit the Google Cloud Platform Console.
  2. Click the project drop-down and select or create the project for which you want to add an API key.
  3. Click the menu button and select APIs & Services > Credentials.
  4. On the Credentials page, click Create credentials > API key.
    The API key created dialog displays your newly created API key.
  5. Click Close.
    The new API key is listed on the Credentials page under API keys.
    (Remember to restrict the API key before using it in production.)

Add the API key to your request

You must include an API key with every Maps Embed API request.In the following example, replace YOUR_API_KEY withyour API key.

For more information about MODE and parameters options in the code above, see Forming the URL for the Maps Embed API.

Restrict the API key

We strongly recommend that you restrict your API key. Restrictions provide added security and helpensure only authorized requests are made with your API key. There are two restrictions. You shouldset both:

  • Application restriction: Limits usage of the API key to either websites (HTTP referrers), web servers (IP addresses), or mobile apps (Android apps or iOS apps). You can select only one restriction from this category, based on the platform of the API or SDK (see GMP APIs by Platform).

    Note: If you need to call web, web service, and/or mobile APIs from the same (client-side) app, create and restrict multiple keys.

  • API restriction: Limits usage of the API key to one or more APIs or SDKs. Requests to an API or SDK associated with the API key will be processed. Requests to an API or SDK not associated with the API key will fail. (The API or SDK must be enabled and must support the application restriction.)

To restrict an API key:

  1. Go to the Google Cloud Platform Console.
  2. Click the project drop-down select the project that contains the API key you want to secure.
  3. Click the menu button and select APIs & Services > Credentials.
  4. On the Credentials page, click the name of the API key that you want to secure.
  5. On the Restrict and rename API key page, set the restrictions:
    • Application restrictions
      • Select HTTP referrers (web sites).
      • Add the referrers.
    • API restrictions
      • Select Restrict key.
      • Click Select APIs and select Maps Embed API.
        (If the Maps Embed API is not listed, you need to enable it.)
    • Click SAVE.

This document describes API Keys, when to use them, how to acquire them, and how to use them with the Google API Client Library for .NET.

Introduction

When calling an API that does not access private user data, you can use a simple API key. This key is used to authenticate your application for accounting purposes. You can read more on API keys in the Console documentation.

Note: If you do need to access private user data, you must use OAuth 2.0.

Acquiring API keys

  1. Open the Credentials page in the API Console.
  2. Click Create credentials > API key and select the appropriate key type.

To keep your API keys secure, follow the best practices for securely using API keys.

Using API keys

To use an API key, pass it to the BaseClientService.Initializer APIKey property. The Simple API Example on the Get Started page provides a complete example that uses API keys.

By setting the APIKey property, you ensure that every call you make to the service will include the API key.
