maps api - to get the google maps api key normally one has to login to their gmail account and enter a website

to get the google maps api key normally one has to login to their gmail account and enter a website address and the generated key is used in a website

my question is if i have to work with many clients can i still use my own gmail login and create an api key for different clients and use the generated api key for indivdual clients websites

or do the clients need to have their own gmail account

can i use my 1 personal gmail account and keep creating separate api keys for different websites by specifying the individual client website address while in the google maps api page

please advice.

Hiya,

I don't even sign in when I create a new key for a new domain. I have loads of customers who have google maps on their sites, each requiring a unique key.

I just go to: Sign Up for the Google Maps API - Google Maps API - Google Code

Enter their domain and tick the t&c box, it then generates me a unique key for that domain and off I go!

Hope that helps!

Stu

while creating the google maps api is it a good idea to provide the website address including the www or without www

would this effect in any way if www were not used

please advice

Moved to Javascript Forum

I think an API key covers all subdomains, so with or without www shouldn't affect it.
