**European Economic Area (EEA) developers**

> [!NOTE]
> If your billing address is in the European Economic Area, effective on 8 July 2025, the [Google Maps Platform EEA Terms of Service](https://cloud.google.com/terms/maps-platform/eea) will apply to your use of the Services. Functionality varies by region. [Learn more](https://developers.google.com/maps/comms/eea/faq.md.txt).

> [!NOTE]
> **Before you begin:** Before you start using the Street View Static API, you need a project with a billing account and the Street View Static API enabled. We recommend creating multiple Project Owners and Billing Administrators, so that you'll always have someone with these roles available to your team. To learn more, see [Set up in Cloud console](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/streetview/cloud-setup).

The Street View Static API embeds a static (non-interactive) Street View
panorama or thumbnail into a web page without the use of JavaScript. Define the
viewport with URL parameters sent through a
standard HTTP request. The request returns a static image.

and optional parameters, and example requests and responses.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Street View imagery [comes
> from two sources](https://www.google.com/streetview/): Google (non-public developer-controlled imagery), and the public (UGC, or public user-generated content). Note that there is no way to use only one source of Street View imagery over the other. Learn more about our [Street view imagery privacy policy](https://www.google.com/streetview/privacy/).

All Street View Static API requests require an API key to work, and should
have a digital signature for maximum API security. Learn Google's recommendations for
[static web API best practices](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/streetview/static-web-api-best-practices.md.txt) and
[API security best practices](https://developers.google.com/maps/api-security-best-practices.md.txt).

The Street View Static API is charged for each request to embed a static
(non-interactive) Street View panorama. See
[Usage and Billing](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/streetview/usage-and-billing.md.txt) for more information.

Control your API usage and spend with [monitoring and reporting](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/streetview/report-monitor.md.txt).
