Hello,

If I have a website with multiple domains pointing to it, what would
you suggest to do about API keys since the key only works for one of
the domains?

Thanks,
Daniel

Use javascript to parse the domain from the document.location.href,
and then write the external script tag with the appropriate key.

What does parse the domain mean?

Thanks,
Daniel

To parse the domain name, you want to look at document.location.href
and use a regular expression to pull the domain name of the document's
absolute URL.  Assuming that you've set up your API keys based on your
primary domains (e.g., mysite.com), I would do something like this:

var gMapKeys = [];
gMapKeys['mysite.com'] = '...';
gMapKeys['yoursite.org'] = '...';
gMapKeys['thissite.net'] = '...';
gMapKeys['thatsite.us'] = '...';
var loc = document.location.href.match(/^https?:\/\/.*?\.(.*?)\/?/i)
[1];
document.write('<script type=text/javascript src="http://
maps.google.com/maps?file=api&amp;v=2&amp;key="'+gMapKeys[loc]+'"></
script>\n');

You would want to make sure that this happens as the page is loading
(i.e., not in the onload).

Using document.location.host, is easier than using .href :) It also means
you test it in the same way that Google does in the API code ;)

If anyone would like a nice simple piece of code to handle the API
keys for multiple domains, try this:

   <script type="text/javascript"> document.write(
      '<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?
file=api&amp;v=2&amp;key=' +
      {
         'example.com': 'api-key-for-example.com',
         'anotherexample.com': 'api-key-for-anotherexample.com'
      }[location.host] +
      '" type="text/javascript"><\/script>' );
   </script>

Hi,

Is there a way in this code to have default value for this code if it
doesn't match any of the domains? eg:

'example.com': 'api-key-for-example.com',
'anotherexample.com': 'api-key-for-anotherexample.com'
default: 'fail'

thanks

John

Have you tried the code? The default key ends up as "undefined".

However, you can define your own default thus:

<script type="text/javascript"> document.write(
      '<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?
file=api&amp;v=2&amp;key=' +
      ({
         'example.com': 'api-key-for-example.com',
         'anotherexample.com': 'api-key-for-anotherexample.com'
      }[location.host] || 'mydefaultvalue') +
      '" type="text/javascript"><\/script>' );
   </script>

Andrew
