Google Maps: Key type for Qlikview?

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

Hey guys, I was checking a problem that I have here with my Qlikview application, and inside the google code, I saw that when I create a new app, I have some options to create, like "Web application", "iOS", "Chrome", "Native"... Each of them generates a different kind of key... So, for the Qlikview, which one should I use??

I saw it, and I my first guess would be either Server Key////Browser Key... I want it to use on qlikview server (AccessPoint)... does anyone know anything about it?

Hi,

what I did was:

1.- Go to https://code.google.com/apis/console/ (with your gmail account)

2.- “Create a new API Project”

3.- “API Access” > “Create Client ID”. Then choose Google Maps v3 from the list of available APIs. Copy the key under “Simple API Access"

Hope this helps-.

thanks, when I choose web application, I get two keys "Server Key" and "Browser key", to make it work in the production environment (Browser, AccesssPoint), should I be using the Server or the Browser key in my script?

Thank you very much, i'll change here to see if my problem was that... Apparently, google changes their IPs numbers, and our firewall doesn't unblock a whole block of IPs, we have to track down each of them... but it seems to change alot... do you know if changing this key my problem would be solved???

Are you having problem with firewall or Google License?

The thing is that I don't really know why some days the some maps works, some others not. It looks quite irregular, random for me. IT member says that this the firewall blocking the IPs that keeps changing. Is that true that google changes the IPs sooooo much? And the more strange thing is that the same rules applies to both servers (we have two, one for test and other for the production environment), and the maps works in one environment and not in the other... So, I really don't know what the problem is.
