Anyway or plans to protect public key usage for a particular url?. Like google maps api key can be limited for URL's or IP addresses to protect search UI exposing public key in headers. ---

Hi Nivid, There aren't any plans to limit public key usage to a particular URL right now. I'd love to hear more about your use case for that functionality though! Thanks, Nick ---
