Do I need to hide API key when using google maps js API? If so, how?

by

You can create multiple API keys with different restrictions to use them safely. For embedding a map, the Google Maps documentation has instructions for creating a correctly restricted API key so that it cannot be abused for other purposes at Get an API Key – Restricting API keys. It’s OK to include a restricted API key in your source code, because you cannot embed a map properly without doing that anyway.

If you need server-side API access, you can create a second API key with less restrictions. That one should be kept secret.
