Google MAPS API Buildship URL to add / restrict in Cloud Console
Hello Buildshippers, I'm using a Caculate Distance node and I need to add the buildship URL that calls the API in the Google Cloud Console. I added .buildship.run/ and .buildship.app/ as well as the Rest API endpoint URL to no avail. It's not working...

The Calculate Distance node does not require an endpoint to be added, and access to the projects Google Cloud Console is not available for the BuildShip project,to restrict the key to a certain domain, you'll require a custom domain, which is currently available on Expert or BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) - https://buildship.com/pricing.

Hi @verismo007 The Calculate Distance node does not require an endpoint to be added, and access to the projects Google Cloud Console is not available for the BuildShip project, could you please elaborate on the requirement of adding the BuildShip endpoint to GCP?
We add the Google Directions API in the node API Key field. That API key is normally restricted in Cloud console to avoid it being used elsewhere on different URLs or applications. The API works on Buildship only if it's unrestricted, which is a security risk. I was just wondering if we could restrict its use to Buildship calls only.
