Hello, I have a question concerning the use of the Google Static Maps API.
If I create a desktop application incorporating a web browser, host this application on a website accessible by all for free (with no login/fees required), and obtain the API Key for the website from which it is downloaded - how will the application's key be verified? Since I would not be hosting the images on a website, but rather have the browser component of the application call "maps.google.com/ staticmaps?" directly there will not be a referrer to check the key against. Obviously, if I omit the key and type directly in a web browser address bar everything appears to work fine, but this seems to violate the ToU (which indicates immediately that an API Key must be used). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
