Setup your Google Maps API Key

Get your Google Maps API key

1. Sign in to the Google Maps Platform console.
2. Select (or create) a project.
3. Make sure the following APIs are enabled for the project. If an API is not listed, use Enable APIs and Services to enable it.
   • Maps JavaScript API and Places API - used by the Google Maps autocomplete control.
   • Geocoding API - used by background validation (workflows) and the Google Maps Geocoding action.
   • Address Validation API - only if you use the Google Address Validation action.
4. Go to Credentials to create or copy your Google Maps API key. If you restrict the key, make sure it still allows the APIs above.

Set up the Google Maps API Configuration

1. In the Address Validation for Power Apps app, go to Settings > API Configuration.
2. Create a new record and enter the following information:
   • API Configuration Name: a unique name for the configuration. You enter this name in the Google autocomplete control or the workflow to tell it which API key to use.
   • Validation Service Type: select Google Maps API.
   • Service License Key: enter your Google Maps API key.
3. Save the record, then select Validate API Key in the command bar. The key is checked in the background. If it works, Is Valid is set to Yes; if not, an error message is displayed and the value stays No.
