How can you restrict the Google Places API key? #131

Since we need to use a web key, it's not possible to restrict it to the app, and I don't believe the referrer is being set to a particular domain. This means we have to use an unrestricted key that anyone could extract and use?

You can use an app restricted API key. I've also made a comment on a related issue https://github.com/fluttercommunity/flutter_google_places/issues/127#issuecomment-751307160.
