    Hi,

    I received an email from Google regarding the key for Google Cloud API being embedded in the code. When I went to specified page, chose inspect on the map thumbnail I found that the key is visible to anyone who would view the source of the page. If we combine this with your suggestion to keep the API without restriction then it means anyone can use the key from my website in their website! Can you please share your feedback about this at the earliest? Thanks

    Sorry about that, you should restrict your key by your domain name. We have updated our documentation ??
