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.

@Gaurav Chadha it seems crazy to me that Google API Keys can only be restricted with Expert or BYOC plans... This means we can't use Google APIs without those plans !

It appears that your concern regarding the restriction of using Google API Keys without the Expert or BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) plans isn't directly addressed in the documents I reviewed. If you're encountering limitations, it's possible that certain features, like integrating with Google APIs within the BuildShip service, may indeed have specific plan requirements. You might want to reach out to BuildShip support for precise information regarding your service plan and available features, or for any guidance on alternative solutions if you are using a different plan【4:1†source】.

@Il-Kyoshiro-Il this is no longer true, custom domain is now available on all our paid plans as an addon, the previous response you are referring to is from 2024.
Okay thank you I did not see this was a new option thank you
