Request: add api key to maps block

[mjvanmiddelaar]

An api key is required to use google maps since June 2018. Please consider adding a field for an api key in the maps block.

See: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key

Good point! I read something about this already as well, but what makes me currious is the fact that you can always klick the embed button on google maps itself, which then won't have an api key as well. example:

<iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d21608.596224600726!2d8.05233044263745!3d47.390978716928714!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x47903bec161c5e71%3A0xcf4b48fa97997f1f!2sAarau!5e0!3m2!1sde!2sch!4v1534062871061" width="600" height="450" frameborder="0" style="border:0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

And as we are not using the javascript sdk in order to render the map (https://github.com/luyadev/luya-bootstrap3/blob/master/src/views/blocks/MapBlock.php) maybe its not required?

So they property to implement would be &key=... as far as i can see?

I will also add this hint: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/embed/get-api-key

Although i thinks we are not using embed api which would be (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/embed/guide) https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1 we are using the url https://maps.google.com/maps - not sure its the same, i just wanted to point this out. But it's in any case a good idea to have the key option, also for future usage.
