Creating API keys

The API key is a unique identifier that authenticates requests associated with your project for usage and billing purposes. You must have at least one API key associated with your project.

To create an API key:

  1. Go to the Google Maps Platform > Credentials page.

  2. On the Credentials page, click Create credentials > API key.
    The API key created dialog displays your newly created API key.
  3. 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.)

Restricting API keys

Google strongly recommend that you restrict your API keys by limiting their usage to those only APIs needed for your application. Restricting API keys adds security to your application by protecting it from unwarranted requests.
When restricting an API key in the Cloud Console, Application restrictions override any APIs enabled under API restrictions. Follow best practices by creating a separate API key for each app, and for each platform on which that app is available.

To restrict an API key:

  1. Go to the Google Maps Platform > Credentials page.

  2. Select the API key that you want to set a restriction on. The API key property page appears.
  3. Under Key restrictions, set the following restrictions:
    • Application restrictions:
      1. To accept requests from the list of website that you supply, select HTTP referrers (web sites) from the list of Application restrictions.
      2. Specify one or more referrer web sites. For example, *.google.com accepts all sites ending in google.com, such as https://developers.google.com.

        Note: file:// referers need a special representation to be added to the key restriction. The "file://" part should be replaced with "__file_url__" before being added to the key restriction. For example, "file:///path/to/" should be formatted as "__file_url__//path/to/*". After enabling file:// referers, it is recommended you regularly check your usage, to make sure it matches your expectations.

    • API restrictions:
      1. Click Restrict key.
      2. Select Maps Embed API from Select APIs dropdown. If the Maps Embed API is not listed, you need to enable it.
  4. To finalize your changes, click Save.
