How to get a Google Maps API key

  1. 1. Create a Google Cloud Project

    Go to the Google Cloud Console and create a new project or select an existing one.

  2. 2. Enable the Maps JavaScript API

    In your project, navigate to "APIs & Services" > "Library" and search for "Maps JavaScript API". Click on it and press the "Enable" button.

  3. 3. Create API Key

    Go to "APIs & Services" > "Credentials" and click "Create Credentials" > "API Key". Your new API key will be displayed.

  4. 4. Restrict Your API Key (Optional but Recommended)

    For security, it's best to restrict your key. Click on your newly created API key and set up application restrictions and API restrictions as needed.

  5. 5. Use Your API Key with MapKit

    Copy your API key and use it when setting up MapKit in your project. Remember to keep your API key secret and never share it publicly.
