Title: Google Map API Key Last modified: July 5, 2023 --- # Google Map API Key * [user9876789](https://wordpress.org/support/users/user9876789/) * (@user9876789) * [2 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-map-api-key-4/) * Hello, firstly thank you for creating a great plugin, my client finds it very useful. They wish to use the auto complete feature by entering a Google Map key. * There is a link in the Phone Orders setting for ‘How to get api key’ – this links to [https://docs.algolplus.com/algol_phone_order/common-pro/](https://docs.algolplus.com/algol_phone_order/common-pro/) which goes to a 404. * I have created a Google Map key with the APIs restricted to Places and Maps and this works, however, I would also like to restrict the API key by website / IP address for security. * However, the Maps API must be restricted by website and the Places API must be restricted by IP address (see here – [https://developers.google.com/maps/faq#api-key-restrictions](https://developers.google.com/maps/faq#api-key-restrictions)). I am not able to restrict by both, it is either one of the other. * When we have had this issue on Google Map functionality I have made, I have had to have two separate Google Map fields, one for the Places API and one for the Maps API so that the keys can be restricted individually. * Would you be able to look into this please or provide a way I can restrict this key by website so it can be restricted?

I’m unsure if we’ll have time for it. * Thread Starter [user9876789](https://wordpress.org/support/users/user9876789/) * (@user9876789) * [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-map-api-key-4/#post-16929385) * Could a quicker fix be to add another field for a second API key – so one for the Maps and one for the Places key? Then if the new Places key isn’t used just fallback to the Maps one? * Plugin Author [algol.plus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/algolplus/) * (@algolplus) * [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-map-api-key-4/#post-16929522) * hi * It won’t help , JS library is initialized using ONE key. * Look at docs link (in previous reply), it’s just * ```wp-block-code ``` Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘Google Map API Key’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/phone-orders-for-woocommerce/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev =1937355) * [Phone Orders for WooCommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/phone-orders-for-woocommerce/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/phone-orders-for-woocommerce/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/phone-orders-for-woocommerce/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/phone-orders-for-woocommerce/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/phone-orders-for-woocommerce/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/phone-orders-for-woocommerce/reviews/) * 8 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [algol.plus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/algolplus/) * Last activity: [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-map-api-key-4/#post-16929522) * Status: not resolved
