The Maps Embed API overview

Place an interactive map or Street View panorama on your web page with Maps Embed API. Use a simple HTTP request; no JavaScript required.

You can set the Maps Embed API URL as the src attribute of an iframe. When configuring a src property, the required q parameter can support a URL-escaped place name, address, plus code, or Place ID:

<iframe   width="600"   height="450"   style="border:0"   loading="lazy"   allowfullscreen   referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade"   src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/place?key=API_KEY     &q=Space+Needle,Seattle+WA"> </iframe>
