Can we still get the Google Maps API For our ST Marketplace?

Hi guys,

Previously we had this article:
https://help.sharetribe.com/managing-your-marketplace/access-and-database/how-to-create-a-google-maps-api-key-for-your-marketplace

However it is now gone.

Did the procedure change for getting Google Maps API?

Thanks!

Indeed, some time ago we were advising our customers to add their own Google Maps API key but we’ve learned that it was a bit complex for most, and decided to cover that cost as part of the plans in our hosted service. This may change in the future, but for now we’ve decided to simplify things and remove that step.

However as you are in full control of your setup, you can always add your own Google Maps API key in the communities.google_maps_key field.

Thanks Thomas. We need to add the API again for our open-source marketplace.
Could you let me know the steps? Or simply the Google API link would help.
Thanks!

If you don’t have one already, you can simply create a new API key at https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials (you should probably restrict its usage to your URLs / referrers) and add it to the communities.google_maps_key.

Give it a try!
