Google Maps and API Keys

Written by Glenn Jones

The maps in Eploy's Candidate Portal use the Google Maps JavaScript API. To use this functionality, you will need a Google Maps API key and a Google Cloud account with billing enabled (although low-volume usage may remain within free monthly credits/allowances).

Setting up your API key

If you don't already have one, you'll need to:

  1. Sign in to the Google Cloud Console and create a project

  2. Enable billing on the project

  3. Go to the API Library and enable the Maps JavaScript API and Maps Embed API

  4. Go to Credentials and create an API key

  5. Restrict the key to HTTP referrers and add your candidate portal domain (e.g. *.yourdomain.com/*)

Once you have your key, provide it to your Eploy contact and we'll add it to your portal.
