Google Maps: Add APIs

If Google Maps or location search is not working, one of the required Google Maps APIs may not be enabled in Google Cloud.

This can happen even if the API key was already created and added to the Brilliant Directories website.

Required APIs

The Google Cloud project connected to the API key should have these APIs enabled:

Use the search bar to find the API that needs to be enabled.

Open each API link below and enable it for the Google Cloud project being used for the website.

If the API is not enabled, click Enable.

Make sure the correct Google Cloud project is selected at the top of the Google Cloud Console before enabling each API.

Repeat this step until all required APIs are enabled for the same Google Cloud project.

If the API key has API restrictions, make sure the required APIs are also selected in the key settings.

If an enabled API is not selected under the API key restrictions, Google may still block the key from using it.

Open the API key from the Google Cloud Credentials page:

Inside the API key settings, look for the API restrictions section.

Select the option to restrict the key, then choose the APIs used by the website:

If one of these APIs does not appear in the list, return to Step 2 and confirm that the API was enabled for the same Google Cloud project.
