Setting up API keys
If your client application does not use OAuth 2.0, then it must include an API key when it calls an API that's enabled within a Google Cloud Platform project. The application passes this key into all API requests as a key=API_key parameter.
To create your application's API key:
- Go to the API Console.
- From the projects list, select a project or create a new one.
- If the APIs & services page isn't already open, open the left side
menu and select APIs & services.
- On the left, choose Credentials.
- Click Create credentials and then select API key.
Note: In addition to reading the instructions on this page, be sure to read Best practices for securely using API keys.

I think, this (0xd62377123a70817:0x85e89b65fcf7c648) is ID of map object in GoogleMap database. When click URL1.
For Example
if you want geographic coordinates then click URL2 please and next if need create link as EMBED no problem, result below:

it is FTID (0xd62377123a70817:0x85e89b65fcf7c648)
The ftid parameter is a unique identifier for certain map objects, just as fid and cid are.
Locations that need to be on the map but are not part of the Local database are identified by the ftid parameter. It is not possible to claim these type of Maps objects through Places.
API Google Places and others work with place-id
for (Calle Cruz de Piedra, 4 03015 Alicante) place-id = ChIJFwinI3E3Yg0RSMb3_GWb6IU
(place -> place-id)
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/places-placeid-finder
and Reverse (place-id->place)
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/geocoding-place-id
NOW:
place-id to location - ok
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/intro?hl=en#ReverseGeocoding
FTID to location -? question open... for fast and automatic
