How do I log on google account in SAS program

[Alonzo]

Hello,

I am using Google Maps in SAS enterprise guide to calculate driving time two points.

However, google allow me to use maps api only limited number, so I purchased google maps license.

The problem is I have no idea how to log on google account.

Would anyone please explain how to do it?

Thanks

Suppose, my username : Alonzo and pw : Texas.

I open google maps using filename statement.

=> filename x url "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/xml?origin=&p1&destination=&p2"

Should above line be

=> filename x url "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/xml?origin=&p1&destination=&p2" user='Alonzo' pass='Texas' prompt;

Hello Alonzo,

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/intro#RequestParameters

According to this you should use your API_KEY (and not username/password) like this

filename x url "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/xml?origin=&p1&destination=&p2&key=API_KEY"

If you licensed Google Maps, I think you are using Google Maps for Work. 

It says this about using the key:

Google Maps for Work customers must include client and signature parameters with their requests instead of a key.

and

Google Maps API web services will deny requests made with both a client ID and a key.
