To use the Google Maps JavaScript API you need a Google account. Beginning on June 11, 2018, you’ll need to enable billing with a credit card to the account. You can use as much or as little as you need and only pay for what you use each month. When you enable billing, you get $200 free usage every month. Most users can continue to use Google Maps Platform for free with this credit.
To avoid a service interruption to your projects, please register your project, generate an API key, and enable a billing account. Once you generate and secure an API key, make sure to update your NSP database with the new API key.
You register your project on the Google API Console and get a Google API key which you can add to your app.
Follow these steps to get an API key:
1. Go to the Google Developer
Console .
(
https://console.developer.google.com/apis/
)
2. Login with google account.
3. Create or select a project from dropdown list.
4. Click Continue to enable the API.
5. On the Credentials page, get an API key.
OPTIONAL: From the dialog displaying the API key, select Restrict key to set a browser restriction on the API key.
After you have retrieved your API key, you’ll need to add it to the NSP database by executing the following SQL-script:
exec app.spSetGlobalSetting 'GoogleMapsApiKey', '[Your_Google_API_Key]'
