In ACP, secret key is required in Google Maps.

But with the invisionpower Guide, only can obtain one API Key.

In my project I have only one API.

Where is, or how to obtain the secret key?

The 'secret key' is a second API key that you need to create. The 'secrect key' is used for server-side Google Maps API requests, the purpose of having a second key is that you can lock it to your web server IP address. We've improved this area for 4.5 to make it much clearer.

Thanks @Stuart Silvester but I can't find where to create the "Secret key" and is required in the ACP.

Just create a second key. The same way you have created the first one. This second key is what they mean by "secret key". I had the same issue to understand the guide 😉

Many thanks @Sonya*. Now I understand the process.
