In Start version api 3 (javascript api) we dont need to have api key? Now in documental have 2 points:
1)NoApiKeys Warning
The script element that loads the API has no API key. Please make sure you include a valid API key as a key parameter. You can generate a new API key on the Google API Console.
2)InvalidKeyMapError Error
The API key included in the script element that loads the API is not found. Please make sure you are using a correct API key. You can generate a new API key on the Google API Console.
In what case we have 1 point, and when we have 2?
You can use Google Maps without an api key in the following manner
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=SET_TO_TRUE_OR_FALSE">
</script>
In this case you will get the error mentioned in point 1.
You can also use google maps with a key
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=API_KEY&sensor=SET_TO_TRUE_OR_FALSE">
</script>
If the api key that you have used is invalid or incorrect or the website that you are using it on hasn't been whitelisted for that particular API key then you will get the error in point 2.

To register for a key : https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key
If you're using the API under the standard plan, you must use a browser key (a type of API key) set up in a project of your choice. The usage is free until your application reaches 25.000 calls per day on 90 consecutive days.Generate a key here

The following JavaScript error suddenly appeared:
Google Maps API error: Google Maps API error: MissingKeyMapError
Yes. Now Google wants an API key to authenticate users to access their APIs`.
You can get the API key from the following link. Go through the link and you need to enter a project and so on. But it is easy. Hassle free.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key
Once you get the API key change the previous
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js"></script>
to
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?libraries=places&key=your_api_key_here"></script>
Now your google map is in action. In case if you are wondering to get the longitude and latitude to input to Maps. Just pin the location you want and check the URL of the browser. You can see longitude and latitude values there. Just copy those values and paste it as follows.
new google.maps.LatLng(longitude ,latitude )
As per Google recent announcement, usage of the Google Maps APIs now requires a key. If you are using the Google Maps API on localhost or your domain was not active prior to June 22nd, 2016, it will require a key going forward. Please see the Google Maps APIs documentation to get a key and add it to your application.
All Google Maps JavaScript API applications require authentication( API KEY )
Go to https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key.
Login with Google Account
Click on Get a key button
3 Select or create a project
Click on Enable API ( Google Maps API)
Copy YOUR API KEY in your Project: <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?libraries=places&key=(Paste YOUR API KEY)"></script>
Update django-geoposition at least to version 0.2.3 and add this to settings.py:
GEOPOSITION_GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
The same issue i was facing couple of months back and that is because end of free google map usage effective from i think June 11, 2018. Google does not provide free google maps now. You need to have a valid API key and valid billing used, which may give you 200$ of free usage.
Refer link for more details: Google map pricing
Follow the process here to get your api key.
If you are upto using only maps with specific user, you can try other map tools.
The script element that loads the API is missing the required authentication parameter. If you are using the standard Maps JavaScript API, you must use a key parameter with a valid API key. If you are a Premium Plan customer, you must use either a client parameter with your client ID or a key parameter with a valid API key.
See the guide to API keys and client IDs.
you must create a project and collect the key in this way:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&language=en&key=()"></script>
Google static maps can be created without an api key. So what is the difference between using static map with key and without key? if we use without key then does it have any limit?
As of June 2018, the api does not work without a key:
https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/user-guide/
The main difference is that if you use a key
==> your quota limits will be per key otherwise per IP address
==> you can track your usage in Google Developers Console
==> you can enable billing for additional usage
Quoting from Google
All Google Static Maps API applications require authentication using an API key. Including a key in your request allows you to monitor your application's API usage in the Google Developers Console; enables per-key instead of per-IP-address quota limits; and ensures that Google can contact you about your application if necessary.
For more information look at the link below
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/static-maps/get-api-key
"Static" Street View documentation says that all request should have an API key added. There is also description how to add it. But looking at JavaScript SV documentation there is no mentioning of API keys. Is using API keys with "dynamic" SV required? How do I add them to my requests?
It is not required but you should according to Google:
All Maps API applications* should load the Maps API using an API key. Using an API key enables you to monitor your application's Maps API usage, and ensures that Google can contact you about your application if necessary. If your application's Maps API usage exceeds the Usage Limits, you must load the Maps API using an API key in order to purchase additional quota.
Here is the link on using the API Key
Here is the link I'm trying to access:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/xml?query=restaurants+in+Sydney&sensor=true
According to some documentation on Google.com, it doesn't look like an API key is needed for their Maps service anymore. Can anyone see why the link I posted above wouldn't work?
If it does need an API key, could someone specific which API key is needed from Google?
In this case you should add a key
Required parameters
query — The text string on which to search, for example: "restaurant". The Place service will return candidate matches based on this string and order the results based on their perceived relevance.
key — Your application's API key. This key identifies your application for purposes of quota management and so that Places added from your application are made immediately available to your app. Visit the APIs Console to create an API Project and obtain your key.
sensor — Indicates whether or not the Place request came from a device using a location sensor (e.g. a GPS) to determine the location sent in this request. This value must be either true or false.
https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/search
Not exactly. Some of their APIs to not require keys with each request, but you must still authenticate. From their developer docs:
All Maps API applications* should load the Maps API using an API key.
You can read about the different APIs and their requirements here.
sorry, I know this question might be too common, but I really couldn't figure out why the google map on my site is not working, I did following what the documentation told me to do, I sign up a google map api key, and I implement the follwoing code:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://maps.google.com/maps? file=api&v=2&sensor=false&key=mykey">
</script>
I did replace mykey with the google map key for the url I entered during sign up, but when I go to my website, there still show me a alert saying that the site need a different google map api key, I wonder this could be other reasons but I can't think any, anyone could help me with that, any help will be greatly appreciated!
use google maps v3, you only need a key for maps v2:
How does the Google Maps APIs key system work?
Note: Google Maps API keys are only required when using the JavaScript Maps API V2 and the Maps API for Flash.
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/faq.html#keysystem
Where did you sign up for your key? The Maps API now uses keys that are generated through the API console: https://code.google.com/apis/console so you can go there and generate a new key.
