Hi, I am developing a Facebook Application that will utilize the Google Maps API.
When signing up for an API Key, I am asked to provide a link to the page at which my content will be displayed. This URL will be something like apps.facebook.com/myapp - but the Maps API is used within an iFrame, coming from my website. Apparently, I have to put my site's URL, because technically, it's my URL that is calling the API. But in reality, my iFrame won't display anything unless being called from within a Facebook page. Is this legaly ok? The same problem - and another one - appears when I implement a map into the user's news stream - (it's basically those twitter-like messages send to your friends on Facebook). It does not allow me to use JavaScript, so I use the static Maps API to display map images. These images are, however, stored on Facebook's servers for performance reasons (I cannot influence this.). This seems OK to me, because caching is allowed for performance reasons. Is this OK? Facebook is, however, not even able to load Map images using my API Key (wrong URL). This will force me to kind of mirror these requests over my server/domain. One single IP can only have 1000 Static Map images per day, so that's a problem. Can I increase this 1000 images limit without buying Google Maps Premier? Does buying Google Maps premier even increase this limit? Can I register an API Key on a domain I do not own (e.g. facebook.com)?
