# Testing API Keys

## Google Maps API Scanner

If you have found a Google API key, you've probably found it because it's being using for Google Maps. 

However, just because it's used for Google Maps, doesn't mean the API key can't be used for more Google services. The following tool is great for testing what an API key is permitted to do:

`python3 maps_api_scanner.py --api-key API_KEY`
