Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to create a new Google Maps API key for your platform:
Sign in to Google Cloud Console:
Go to the Google Cloud Console website: https://console.cloud.google.com/.
Sign in with your Google account. If you don't have one, you'll need to create one.
Create a New Project:
If you don't have an existing project, create a new one by clicking on the "Select a project" dropdown at the top of the page, then click on "New Project". Follow the prompts to create a new project.
Enable the Maps JavaScript API:
Once your project is created (or if you already have a project), go to the project dashboard.
Click on the "APIs & Services" > "Library" in the left sidebar.
Search for "Maps JavaScript API" in the search bar.
Click on the Maps JavaScript API in the search results.
Click on the "Enable" button.
Create API Key:
After enabling the API, click on the "Credentials" tab on the left sidebar.
Click on the "Create credentials" dropdown and select "API key".
A new API key will be generated. You can optionally restrict this API key for security purposes (e.g., by restricting it to certain websites or APIs). If you want to restrict the key, click on the "Restrict key" button and follow the instructions. Otherwise, skip this step.
Copy the API Key:
Once the API key is created, it will be displayed on the screen. Copy the API key to use it in your website's code.
Use the API Key in Your Platform:
Return to your platform and navigate to the Settings -> General section. Next, insert the copied API Key into the appropriate field within the "Integrations" block.
Check map's functionality on our platform.
Congratulation, it's all done!
