This page shows you how to get an API key, enable the Places UI Kit, and load the libraries that support it.
Get an API key and enable the Places UI KitBefore using the Places UI Kit, you need to:

Load the required librariesTo load the libraries that support the Places UI Kit, first load the Maps JavaScript API by adding the inline bootstrap loader to your application code, as shown in the following snippet:
<script>
(g=>{var h,a,k,p="The Google Maps JavaScript API",c="google",l="importLibrary",q="__ib__",m=document,b=window;b=b[c]||(b[c]={});var d=b.maps||(b.maps={}),r=new Set,e=new URLSearchParams,u=()=>h||(h=new Promise(async(f,n)=>{await (a=m.createElement("script"));e.set("libraries",[...r]+"");for(k in g)e.set(k.replace(/[A-Z]/g,t=>"_"+t[0].toLowerCase()),g[k]);e.set("callback",c+".maps."+q);a.src=`https://maps.${c}apis.com/maps/api/js?`+e;d[q]=f;a.onerror=()=>h=n(Error(p+" could not load."));a.nonce=m.querySelector("script[nonce]")?.nonce||"";m.head.append(a)}));d[l]?console.warn(p+" only loads once. Ignoring:",g):d[l]=(f,...n)=>r.add(f)&&u().then(()=>d[l](f,...n))})({
key: "YOUR_API_KEY",
v: "weekly",
// Use the 'v' parameter to indicate the version to use (weekly, beta, alpha, etc.).
// Add other bootstrap parameters as needed, using camel case.
});
</script>
Next, use the await operator to call importLibrary() from within an async function, as follows:
// Import the Places Library for PlaceDetailsElement and PlaceSearchElement
const {PlaceDetailsElement, PlaceSearchElement} = await google.maps.importLibrary('places');
// Import the Elevation Library for ElevationElement
const {ElevationElement} = await google.maps.importLibrary('elevation');
