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.
