Google Cloud report for API requests per domain

[ross20]

Hi! I'm trying to get a report that shows me report of API requests for Google Maps API by 'friendly' domain. The best I've achieved so far is by API key (see below), meaning I then have to manually cross-reference with API keys.

Ideas anyone? Thx!

Label those keys in a meaningful way to identify the domains in them.

All these API keys have the name (URL) of the website they are associated with.

So unless I'm missing something, there doesn't appear to be any further opportunity to label/tag them?

Given that these APIs *do* already have meaningful names associated with them, therefore the challenge is to get the  Metrics explorer report to display these meaningful names, instead of, or as well as, the API keys themselves. If there is a way, I've not been able to figure it out yet, and IMHO, it shouldn't be that hard, because obviously the meaningful names are much more helpful! 😁

Hi @ross20,

While Google Maps Platform uses Google Cloud infrastructure, it is not officially part of the Google Cloud product lineup. As such, certain features that are applicable on Google Cloud APIs may be limited or unavailable for Maps APIs.

However, here are some recommended workarounds you can try:

• API Dashboard: Use the API Dashboard to view and filter usage by API. Click into specific APIs to explore data and generate reports.
• Key identification: When creating an API, you may assign a user-specified keyId or update the display name to make keys easier to identify.
• Key restrictions: For improved security, follow the API key restriction guidelines to limit usage by referrer, IP, or service.

To manage your API keys more effectively, review these best practices:

• Maps API Security
• Google Cloud API key guidance
• Google API key FAQ
  

For additional support, refer to the Maps documentation, visit the Google Maps Stack Overflow and GitHub, or reach out to the official Maps support channels.

Hi @-Rhett - as per the link to the documentation you shared with me (see below), is it correct the the display name for an API key can only be added or updated via the gcurl UpdateKey method? Is there no way to achieve the same via the web GUI? If there isn't, there should be IMHO 🙂
