Adding the Maps APIs to your Google Account

Adding the Maps APIs to your Google Account

You can select Discover and Enable APIs from this Google Maps Platform screen, and access.

Alternatively you can also select Enable APIS and Services to allow you to choose your Maps API from the APIs and Services Dashboard.



You should already have the required Google Maps API enabled. You need the following as a minimum:

  • Directions API

  • Distance Matrix API

  • Geocoding API

  • Maps JavaScript API

  • Maps Static API

You can find these under the Enabled API section of your dashboard. So long as at the very least, these are enabled, then you should be fine.

You can keep the others that are there, though if you know what you're doing, you can also remove some APIs that may not be necessary.
