Google Maps Integration in Durham
Integrating Google Maps into Durham applications, where an unrestricted key is a bill waiting to happen. Keys used in browser code are visible to anyone viewing the page, and one without restrictions can be lifted and used on someone else's site — with the usage charged to your account until you notice.
Why this comes up
The problem
The map key sits unrestricted in the front end, and usage has climbed steadily from domains nobody recognises.
What you get
What we deliver
- Keys restricted by referrer or address so they cannot be used elsewhere
- API restrictions applied, so a key permits only the services it needs
- Separate keys for client-side and server-side use, restricted differently
- Quotas and budget alerts configured before usage becomes a surprise
- Requests reduced where results can be cached within the terms
- Usage monitored per key, so an anomaly is visible early

Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Google Maps Integration in Durham — common questions
- How does key abuse actually happen?
- By copying it from your page source. A key in client-side code is public by necessity, so the protection is the restriction rather than the secrecy — an unrestricted key found by an automated scan can be used freely and billed to you until it is noticed.
- Why separate client and server keys?
- Because they need different restrictions. A browser key is restricted by referring website and a server key by address, and using one key for both means neither restriction can be applied properly — which leaves the weaker configuration protecting everything.
- Should quotas be set?
- Yes, alongside budget alerts. A quota caps the damage from either abuse or a bug looping requests, and the alternative is discovering the problem on an invoice — by which point the spend has already happened and cannot be recovered.
- Can results be cached?
- Some, within the terms, and the rules differ by service. Where caching is permitted it reduces both cost and latency meaningfully — particularly for geocoding addresses that do not change — so it is worth establishing what applies to the services you use.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
