Googlemaps API Key for Localhost

Question

How do I get googlemaps api key to work on localhost   I ve created an API key and under referers I add the following   Accept requests from these HTTP referrers  websites   Optional   Use asterisks for wildcards  If you leave this blank  requests will be  accepted from any referrer  Be sure to add referrers before using this key  in production    localhost   This doesnt work and if I exclude the api key it doesnt work either

Where it says  Accept requests from these HTTP referrers  websites   Optional   you don t need to have any referrer listed  So click the X beside localhost on this page but continue to use your key   It should then work after a few minutes   Changes made can sometimes take a few minutes to take effect so wait a few minutes before testing again

Guess I m a bit late to the party  and although I agree that creating a seperate key for development  localhost  and product it is possible to do both in only 1 key   When you use Application restrictions -  http referers -  Website restricitions you can enter wildcard urls   However using a wildcard like  localhost  or  localhost  port    when already having  yourwebsite com     don t seem to work   Just putting a single   does work but this basicly gives you an unlimited key which is not what you want either   When you include the full path withhout using the wildcard   it also works  so in my case putting   http   localhost port    http   localhost  port  something-else here  Makes the Google maps work both local as on www yourwebsite com using the same API key   Anyway when having 2 seperate keys is also an option I would advise to do that

If you are working on localhost  create a separate APIkey for your development and then remove restrictions on that key so that your localhost can use it  Remember to not use this key on production  so you don t expose your key to hunters online   I had the same issue and all attempts to get the restrictions working on my localhost environment was not successful until I created a separate apikey specifically for development and then removed its restrictions   However I don t use that key on production environment  and once am done with developments  I will delete the API key immediately   I Know this post is late  but for people that will likely face this issue in the future  this is the best route to go
