Using API Keys

This guide shows how to create, restrict, and use your API Key for Google Maps Platform.

Before you begin

Before you start using the Places API, you need a project with a billing account and the Places API enabled. To learn more, see Set up in Cloud Console.

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:

Go to the APIs & Services > Credentials page.

Go to the Credentials page

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

Once your API is created you will need to restrict the API to your website URL and any associated Stage sites so it cannot be used for unauthorized use.

Restricting API keys

Restricting API Keys adds security to your application by ensuring only authorized requests are made with your API Key. We strongly recommend that you follow the instructions to set restrictions for your API Keys. For more information, see API Key best practices.

Go to the Credentials page

Select the API key that you want to set a restriction on. The API key property page appears.

Application restrictions:

Make sure to add an asterix after the URL so any associated URLs are also included .

Example:

API restrictions:

Click Restrict key.
Select Places API from Select APIs dropdown. If the Places API is not listed, you need to enable it.
