How you can get an API Key and enable the APIs

HSNM uses the Google APIs to calculate GPS coordinates, display maps in the “Around Me” App, run the Social Login, etc. and, as requested by Google, to obtain these services, you must have an API Key issued by Google. HSNM uses by default an API Key predefined but shared with possible limits on the volume of services provided. To overcome these restrictions, it is recommended to obtain and insert your own API key.
After having performed the previous steps described in the section “Creating an App”, to get an API Key and to enable the services required by HSNM, follow the following steps:

• Go to the https://console.developers.google.com page;
• If it is not already selected, select the App previously created in the Combo Box on the top-right;
• Select “Credentials” on the left bar;
• Click on “Create credentials” and select “API Key”;
• When you are required the type of “Key”, select “Browser Key”;
• When you press the “Create” button, you will be displayed the API Key to copy and insert in the “General Options“;
• Click “Ok “.

At this point you must enable the services that affect the HSNM.
Proceed as follows:

• Select “Library” in the left bar;
• In the “Google Maps APIs” section, select “Google Maps JavaScript API” and click “Enable” on the page that appears;
• Re-click “Library”, in the “Google Maps APIs” section, click “More”, select “Google Maps Geocoding API” and and click “Enable” on the page that appears;
• Re-click “Library”, in the “Google Maps APIs” section, click “More”, select “Google Maps Geolocation API” and click “Enable” on the page that appears;
• Re-click “Library”, in the “Google Maps APIs” section, click “More”, select “Google Places API Web Service” and click “Enable” on the page that appears;
• Click on “Library”, in the “Social APIs” section, select “Google API” and click “Enable” on the page that appears;

With these steps, you created the API Key and enabled the required APIs.

Starting from 16 July 2018, to continue using Google Maps platform APIs, you have to enable billing on each project. If you choose not to add a billing account, maps will be degraded, or further Map API requests will return an error.

Creating a Page

As for the previous social network, at the end of the recording or during the login, you will probably be asked to press “Circle” to a Google page. To do this, you need to create a page and get its ID and then insert it in the configuration of the domain or gateway.
To create a page, you need to have a Google account, log in and click the Home button on the top left and follow the following steps:

• Select “Pages”;
• Click on “Create your page” in the top right;
• Follow the procedure to create a page.

To determine the ID of the page that you want to include in the configuration of the domain or gateway, perform the following steps:

• Place your mouse cursor in the upper left corner on Home and click on “Pages” in the menu that appears;
• Click on “Manage this page”;

At this point, the page’s ID is determined in the URL shown above. In practice, if the URL is https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/1234567890/dashboard/overview, the page ID will be 1234567890.
