Obtaining an API Key for Maps API Requests - Apps Script | Maps Service ~ Episode 14.1.1
Hey Coders! Almost every method you call in the Google Workspace Services will access APIs from Google Products. Normally, the authentication for these API resources is handled under the hood of the Apps Script IDE. But, what happens when you need to access resources from a Google product that's not yet integrated with Apps Script? Or, as in the case of this video, what happens when you are accessing APIs from outside the script editor? Google will still want to track who is accessing their resources for reports and billing. For these case scenarios, you'll need to create an API Key to go along with your requests. This API Key will be uniquely associated with your account, so Google will know it's you making the request. In this video, we'll see that the method getMapUrl() needs to be paired with an API key to work effectually, and so we'll go through the necessary steps to obtain this key for use!
