How to Get a Google Maps API Key
- Go to the Google Cloud Console
- Create a new project or select an existing one
- Navigate to APIs & Services > Library
- Search for Geocoding API and enable it
- Go to APIs & Services > Credentials
- Click Create Credentials > API Key
- Copy the key and paste it into the Address Geocoder settings page
API Key Best Practices
- Restrict your key in the Google Cloud Console to only allow the Geocoding API. This limits exposure if the key is ever compromised.
- Set usage quotas to prevent unexpected billing. Google provides a free tier of geocoding requests per month, but high-volume usage may incur charges.
- Monitor usage in the Google Cloud Console to track how many geocoding requests your workflows are generating.
