Prerequisites

Overview

This guide shows how to create, restrict, and use your API Key for Google Maps Platform.

An API key is a unique identifier that authenticates requests associated with your project for usage and billing purposes. You must have at least one API key associated with your project.

Step-by-step guides

Enabling the products in google cloud 

  1. Go to: https://console.cloud.google.com/
  2. Head to Enable APIs & Services > Library > Search for "Places API" > Click into product > Enable
  3. Do the same again for "Place API (new)" & then again for "Maps Javascript API"


Creating API Keys

  1. Go to: https://console.cloud.google.com/
  2. On the Credentials page, click Create credentials > API key.
    The API key created dialog displays your newly created API key.
  3. Click Close.
    The new API key is listed on the Credentials page under API keys.
    (Remember to restrict the API key before using it in production.)


Once your API is created you will need to restrict the API to your website URL and any associated Stage sites so it cannot be used for unauthorized use. Restricting API Keys adds security to your application by ensuring only authorized requests are made with your API Key. We strongly recommend that you follow the instructions to set restrictions for your API Keys. For more information, see API Key best practices


Adding Keys to CMS

  1. Go to Settings → Feature Management → Delivery Address Lookup Provider Feature Settings → Google
  2. Ensure "Google Address Lookup Service Uri" is set to
    `https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=`
  3. Enter the Google API Key

If you're using a version before 4.40, then head to Setting → Settings → Google Merchant Settings to fill in the Google lookup details


If the API is still not providing the right access – please add the Commerce Vision helpdesk gmail account and provide access so we can configure as required.
