Helping you implement your licensed Google Maps Platform APIs.

The Google Maps Platform API Checker allows you to determine if your website is properly implementing Google’s licensed Maps APIs. Ideal for partners and developers, the Checker shows information about common watchpoints and pitfalls while deploying Maps Platform APIs, including Maps Javascript, Static Maps, and Street View APIs. No longer do you need to sift through code or the JavaScript Console to identify problems. Instead, technical issues are automatically displayed in an icon on the browser’s address bar. Note that the tool does not check for compliance with Google’s terms of service, which govern API usage. Learn more about our privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy Release Notes: 1.1.9 - Improved functionality with the latest version of Chrome. 1.1.8 - We now flag malformed keys. 1.1.7 - Updates to help you find keyless usage - Updates to messages and wording - Simplified interface 1.1.6 - Minor message updates. 1.1.4 - Basic JSAPI detection - Minor bug fixes 1.0.5 - 1.1.1 - Detects client side service usage, including Geocoding, Directions, Distance Matrix, Elevation and Places API. - Signed-in Maps and Google Maps Embed API support. - Bug fixes & performance improvements 0.9.5 - 0.9.8 - Minor bug fixes

Hello, I hope you're having a splendid day! I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my business operations by investing in extensions with a significant user base, beginning from 50,000 users and up. No matter if your extension has a modest user base or counts its users in the millions, I am interested and ready to negotiate a purchase. If you are in possession of such an extension and looking to turn it into a profit, please consider reaching out to me. We can discuss the price and proceed with a transparent and secure transaction through a trusted escrow service based in the United States. It's great that Google allows the transfer of extension ownership between accounts, so your Google account ownership will remain intact. If you have any needs, please contact us via the following contacts Whatsapp: +1 (248) 896‑8035 Telegram: t.me/harryysandersonn
