Hi, I tried searching this discussion group and read the documentation and terms of service about the use of API keys. I am still confused. The front page of JavaScript API V3 clearly says that this version no longer requires API key, but all the legal documents go on and on and on about how critical it is to identify my application and how I can be penalized for not doing so.
I have created a small map application with JavaScript API V3 that uses the directions service to calculate driving times. I tested it with a few requests, and it is working fine without a key, but I am worried if at some moment Google will be after me for violating the TOS. I actually do have a key, but I could not figure out how to use it with V3. And there is another concern: there's a limit of 2500 directions requests per day, which is quite enough for my users. However nothing prohibits an intruder to use my web page to submit requests beyond this limit thus putting me at risk of violating the usage terms. I would limit access to the web page to trusted users, but that violates the requirement of free public access. How can I resolve such problem? I would appreciate any advice, and apologize if I missed some post explaining these issues.
