Google Directions Api JavaScript linking API key into php file

Question

I have a simple index.php linked to Apache server in XAMPP on Windows. I am trying to see how Google Direction Service API works with this JavaScript example and also want to play about with it for a bit. But in order to make use of it, I need to create a server key, which i correctly added my IP address to and it generated a random key for me. But now that I have this key how do I put it into this php file so that It allows me to view the map because of course this one is just an example and gives me an Authorization error.

I read on Google developers page that "To specify a key in your request, include it as the value of a key parameter." which may be the problem but how do I do that if that is my answer? The API key for this is declared right at the bottom.

Answer 1

In your script tag, add your key as query string...

<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=PASTE_KEY_HERE&..."
        async defer></script>

For example, your key is 12345 , src value of the script tag should be...

<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=12345&..."
        async defer></script>
