Set up the Solar API

  • Google Maps Platform secures its products by requiring API keys for authentication and billing purposes.

  • API keys can be created and managed through the Google Cloud Console or the Cloud SDK.

  • It's crucial to restrict API keys to enhance security by limiting their usage to specific APIs and IP addresses.

  • API keys should be included in every Solar API request using HTTPS for security.
