A Google Maps API allows developers to access Google Maps data and functionality for their own projects. If you want to incorporate customized Google Maps on your website or application, you can use a Google Maps API.
Google Maps Platform offers several APIs, each serving different needs.
Maps JavaScript API: Allows developers to embed Google Maps into their webpages, with options to customize the map appearance; add markers, layers, overlays, and events; and access various map features and controls
Maps Static API: Allows developers to request static map images that can be embedded into webpages or applications, with options to customize the map size, zoom level, format, language, region, and style
Maps Embed API: Allows developers to embed an interactive Google Map into their webpages or applications, with options to choose from different map modes, including directions, search, view, and street view
Directions API: Allows developers to request direction data for various modes of transportation, such as driving, walking, cycling, and transit. The service also provides information on distance, duration, traffic conditions, waypoints, and alternative routes
Distance Matrix API: Allows developers to request travel distance and time data for a set of origins and destinations. The service also provides information on traffic conditions and modes of transportation
Geocoding API: Allows developers to convert addresses to geographic coordinates (geocoding) or vice versa (reverse geocoding). The service also provides information on address components, types, and formats
Geolocation API: Allows developers to determine the geographic location of a device or user based on various sources of information, such as IP addresses, cell towers, Wi-Fi access points, GPS signals, or sensor data
Places API: Allows developers to access information on millions of places around the world, such as names, addresses, phone numbers, ratings, reviews, photos, and operating hours. The service also provides features such as autocomplete, search nearby, text search, and place details
Roads API: Allows developers to access road and speed limit data for a given location or route. The service also provides features such as snap to roads, nearest roads, and speed limits
Time Zone API: Allows developers to request time zone data for a given location or timestamp. The service also provides information on daylight saving time and time offset from UTC
Some of the benefits of enabling a address locator on a website
Enhanced User Experience: "Adding Google Maps helps users easily find places on your site, making their visit smoother and more enjoyable."
Increased Engagement: "Interactive maps on your website keep users interested and encourage them to spend more time exploring your content."
Improved SEO: "A user-friendly site with maps can keep visitors longer, which may improve your site's search engine ranking and visibility in location-based searches."

The Google Maps Platform offers a free trial that includes $300 in credits valid for 90 days. After that, API users receive $200 in monthly credits. This amount typically covers up to 100,000 static map requests or approximately 28,000 dynamic map requests each month.
