Hi @stowelle
Just seen this didn't get a reply - are you still trying to resolve this? There's a couple of methods to generate the keys you need. I put this together a few months back for a friend before Google made a few changes; I don't think the process has changed since much though:
"
Generating a key
The way in which you generate a key will determine which aspects of the API you have access to. The following steps show you how to generate a key for the Directions API, but can be applied to others
- Visit https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/get-api-key
- Click ‘Get Started’
- You are then prompted to check which elements you want access to within the API: select routes (note you can select multiple, if you wanted to do any of the others in future)
- Select or project, or if your first time, create a new project (your keys are associated with a project; I’d recommend naming this something to do with the API you’re accessing, so you know in future which is which (i.e. “Directions API”))
- **It will likely ask you to set up a billing account as this point, if you don’t have one already**
- You are then directed to the developer console, where you’ll see the key generated for you
"
I actually ran an Alteryx webinar on connecting to the Google API (and others) last year, which has some video demos of me connecting; in case that's any use you can get to it here: http://bit.ly/JavelinAlteryx and is the "Connecting and Using APIs" session. Or there's a blog with some more info and links here which may be useful https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Engine-Works-Blog/API-A-Pub-In-Between/ba-p/333314
If you're still having issues let me know; happy to help
