For Production Use:

Use API Key Restrictions (Recommended)
- Configure domain restrictions in Google Cloud Console
- Set HTTP referrer restrictions
- Enable IP address restrictions if possible
Implement Backend Proxy (Most Secure)
- Create a simple backend server
- Store API keys server-side
- Proxy API requests through your backend
Rate Limiting
- Implement usage monitoring
- Set up rate limits per user/IP
