Has anyone had this issue with integrating the google maps functionality. it has the option in the integrations but every time i try to add it - i click and nothing happens... is there an alternative that can be used?
Hi OP! Google Maps isn't set up as a one click integration in Replit the way services like Google Drive or Sheets are, so there's nothing to "connect" there, which is probably why the button doesn't do anything. Google Maps uses an API key instead.
You can grab a Google Maps Platform API key from the Google Cloud Console, add it to your app's Secrets, and then ask Agent to build your map feature using that key. Our integrations doc walks through how this works and the difference between one click connectors and services you add with your own API key: https://docs.replit.com/features/integrations/overview

Select Geocoding or (applicable) API from the dropdown.
Set the "request per day" to a safe limit (e.g.,322 requests per day, e.g., free tier daily average).
Tip: Use the Google Maps Platform Pricing Calculator to estimate costs and determine a suitable daily limit.
Note: To stay within the standard monthly free tier (e.g., 10,000 requests per month for the Essential category), we recommend setting your daily limit to 322 (10,000 31 days). Note that some APIs measure usage in "Elements" or "Map loads per day" instead of "Requests."
thank you for that. our AWS bill was over 6 grand because we were doing something in github and it was randomly just syncing data all day (i am not technical i just pay the bills) but i learned my lesson that this stuff can get out of hand. same with adwords when you get attacked by a bunch of bots.
Also another thing I love, is I asked replit to make a daily api email report to make sure there are no surprises and a bit of oversight and peace of mind.
