Google offers multiple maps APIs

[Jmuccigr]

Clicking on the link to the Google API page, I find that there are several versions of the maps API: static, javascript, streetview, URLs, embed (ignoring the ones for iOS and Android). Which one do I need to use?

TIA.

Hi John,

I noticed last week that the google api page had changed since we first put that link in the Neatline interface. Unfortunately, @jeremyboggs is away at a conference this week, and I don't know the answer. I'll get this information to you as quickly as I can, though.

Best,
Ronda

Hi @Jmuccigr, The docs on the Google Maps API have changed, but I am reasonably sure you want a "Maps JavaScript API Key", which you can get here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key -- @rondauva and @jeremyboggs I will add it to our list to update the instructions on the config form.

[Jmuccigr]

Yes, this seems indeed to work.

It might be worth also noting the new-ish lower ceiling on free usage.

@Jmuccigr yes, that pricing change just came to my attention too. Thanks!

@rondauva @jamiefolsom Let's make an issue on Neatline Docs to specifically address this.
