I have an old website that uses Google maps v2. Previously the website was running under http://domain1.edu. Now it is runs under http://domain2.edu. It appears that I need to update the map key.
On the internet, I was looking for how to do this. I find incomplete info at Google's own website. Here is the link for v2 map key: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/v2/introduction?csw=1#Obtaining_Key
It says:
To create your API key, visit the APIs Console at https://code.google.com/apis/console and log in with your Google Account.
Click the Services link from the left-hand menu, then activate the Google Maps API v2 service.
Once the service has been activated, your API key is available from the API Access page, in the Simple API Access section. Maps API applications use the Key for browser apps
First, I am unable to find "Google Maps API v2" service mentioned above. I am able to find Google Maps API v3, and so I enabled it. I used the key mentioned at https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial#api_key
However, the website key is still not working.
Here is the page with Google map: http://nmai.si.edu/nafvf/attend.aspx
Anyone knows how to fix this?
Thanks and regards!
You are using the deprecated Google Maps Javascript API v2, those keys are no longer available (as the documentation you point to indicates). You need to use a v3 key, and make sure you have the referrers set correctly for that key (you really should update your map to use the v3 API...)
working example (copied from Mike Williams' v2 tutorial, just changed the key)
This link says how to generate the key for android. You need to get the SHA1 of your signing key and then gotto google console to generate the key.

I want to use streetview, geocoding and googlemaps services.
Can i use single API key for these?
Is it right thing to use single API keys for all google services?
I think you can use 1 API key but you will have to enable API for every google service you want to use in your app.
https://console.developers.google.com/
Go to Google Developers console and create a Project and get a KEY.
After then, click on Library and enable the API for every service you want to use.
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>
I m working on an application which renders google maps on an image as below
<img alt="Google Maps (Scotland)" src="http://maps.google.com/staticmap?size=480x200&maptype=mobile\&markers=55.9368450758,-3.03604939504,reda|55.9454374538,-3.18124534297,redb&key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx">
The map is not getting rendered and when I right click on the source of image and click the url, I get the following message
"The Google Maps API server rejected your request. This site or IP is not authorized to use this API key."
I have checked the API Access on https://code.google.com/apis/console the API key seems to be all correct. Just wondering how to fix the site and IP bit?
See below the settings in google API console
Make sure you have enabled "Static Maps API" service in addition to "Google Maps API".
Make sure you have enabled the Google Maps related Services ("Google Maps Embed API" and "Static Maps API") like bellow:
And then mark them:
In the new layout you find it here:
It works for me when I enable "Google Maps Embed API" and "Static Maps API"
Make sure you have a Browser key in the Simple API Access section, and make sure the Referers is set to Any referer allowed
Activate Google Map Key here: https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/maps_embed_backend/overview?project=[your-project]
It will enable your map instantly.
I had the same issue. I used this instead of this and that resolved the issue. Some other api parameters didn't work on the second URL either (specifically marker styles), guessing the old API is deprecated
Would also recommend using https as opposed to http. This way your users wont get cert warnings if they view the page over SSL
Not only you need to enable google static API, but also you need to include your api_key in the link.
From june 2018 you have to configure a billing account to continue using Maps static API; google "donate" 200$/day of credit
Maps Static API Usage and Billing
add key in the url is not enough
As commented by Pointy, you need to use an API key with all referrers allowed in order to use Static Maps.
You can achieve that just by removing all the referrers from the list of authorized referrers. Or just create a new API key and use it without further configuration.

It seems that in between the development of my website and the go-live (now) Google has phased out the Google Maps v2 API. I'm all for progress but to rewrite all my map code seems to be a bit too much for me to handle at this point in time.
Is it sill possible to obtain a Google Maps v2 API key in some hidden corner of the web?
Get a new Console key from https://code.google.com/apis/console as described in the Version 3 docs at https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial#api_key. Console keys work with Version 2 and provide the benefits of statistics reporting.
It's against the Terms to use the API without a key, and in fact this won't work on domains which aren't Google's like http://codethink.no-ip.org/mapHacks.html. The webcache version of that page works because it's on a Google domain.
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.
