Contributions summary:Ozgur's primary contribution is the development of a Python script to scan Google Maps API keys for vulnerabilities. The script utilizes the `requests` library to test various Google Maps API endpoints, including Staticmap, Streetview, Embed, Directions, Geocode, Distance Matrix, Find Place From Text, Autocomplete, Elevation, Timezone, and Roads APIs. The user enhanced the script by incorporating vulnerability checks and displaying potential PoC links or code, adding color-coding for better clarity, and expanding functionality to test more API endpoints.
