However, instead of returning a JSON response, Static Web APIs generate an image that you can embed in generated HTML code. More importantly, it is generally the end-user <em>client</em>, not the server, that calls the Google Maps Platform service.</p> <aside class="tip"><strong>Tip:</strong><span> For more information about securing your Static Web APIs, see the blog post, <a href="https://mapsplatform.google.com/resources/blog/google-maps-platform-best-practices-securing-api-keys-when-using-static-maps-and-street-view-apis" class="external">Securing API keys when using Static Maps and Street View APIs</a>.</span></aside> <h3 id="dig-sig" data-text="Use a digital signature" tabindex="-1">Use a digital signature</h3> <p>As a best practice, always use digital signatures in addition to an API key. Also, review how many unsigned requests you want to allow per day and <a href="https://youtu.be/A8bsgHUYsq8" class="external">adjust your unsigned request quotas</a> accordingly.</p> <p>For more details about digital signatures, see the <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/digital-signature" class="external">Digital Signature Guide</a>.</p> <h3 id="protect_your_signing_secret" data-text="Protect your signing secret" tabindex="-1">Protect your signing secret</h3> <p>To protect Static Web APIs, don't embed your API signing secrets directly in code or in the source tree, or expose them in client-side applications. Follow these best practices for protecting your signing secrets:</p> <ul> <li><p><strong>Sign your requests server-side, not on the client</strong>. If you do the signing client-side in JavaScript, you expose it to anyone visiting your site. Therefore, for dynamically-generated images, always generate your signed Maps Static API and Street View Static API request URLs server-side when serving the web page. For static web content, you can use the <strong>Sign a URL now</strong> widget on the Cloud Console Google Maps Platform <strong>Credentials</strong> page.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Store signing secrets outside of your application's source code and source tree</strong>. If you put your signing secrets or any other private information in environment variables or include files that are stored separately and then share your code, then signing secrets are not included in the shared files. If you store signing secrets or any other private information in files, keep the files outside your application's source tree to keep your signing secrets out of your source code control system. This precaution is particularly important if you use a public source code management system, such as GitHub.</p></li> </ul> <h2 id="desktop-ws-static-web" data-text="Protect your API key in apps using web services" tabindex="-1">Protect your API key in apps using web services</h2> <p><strong id="no-apikey-in-code">Store API keys outside of your application's source code or source tree</strong>.
