I am working with a legacy system that uses the google maps API. I have a query string that we use on the client side with JS, I am wondering how I can make requests to the endpoint from a .NET Web API. Most of the docs say I need an API key, which at my company will require a little more effort to find the username/password associated with the below query string. It looks like it uses a "client" and "channel" key(s) to authenticate the user.

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?client=<client name>&channel=<channel name>&libraries=places,geometry <-- This works in JS on the client.

I am looking to request GPS coords (lat/long) from a google API using a street address as a parameter. If anyone knows how I can use the above "client" and "channel" keys and can supply the appropriate API URL string that would be great! I can't find anything in the docs about these keys.
