Google Static Map Authorisation with Key not working

I have the following Google Developer Console APIs with ON status:

I have the following link in an HTML email:

<img src='http://maps.google.com/staticmap?center=-15,-47&zoom=11&size=600x200&key=myKey'/>

But I never get an image. The key works OK for an embedded map using an iframe.

What am I doing wrong?

If you are using Google static Map API, you should use this URL:

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=-15,-47&zoom=11&size=600x200&key=myKey

Of course, replace 'myKey' to your valid key.

It won't work because you're trying to put it in an email, browsers work differently to email clients. Email clients block iframes for security purposes, see:

Is there no way to embed a Google Map into an HTML email?

You can check if your api key is working using the Google Maps API console https://code.google.com/apis/console/?pli=1

Update

also you might want to update the bit of the string 'myKey' with your api key :)
