Camera generic sensor broken on 0.80.0?

1

After upgrading to 0.80.0 i cannot anymore have the camera component working with this configuration:

  - platform: generic
    name: Maurizio Cam
    still_image_url: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center={{ states.device_tracker.s8_s8.attributes.latitude }},{{ states.device_tracker.s8_s8.attributes.longitude }}&zoom=16&size=500x500&maptype=roadmap&markers=color:green%7Clabel:JA%7C{{ states.device_tracker.s8_s8.attributes.latitude }},{{ states.device_tracker.s8_s8.attributes.longitude }}
    limit_refetch_to_url_change: true  
  - platform: generic
    name: Fha Cam
    still_image_url: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center={{ states.device_tracker.fha_fha.attributes.latitude }},{{ states.device_tracker.fha_fha.attributes.longitude }}&zoom=16&size=500x500&maptype=roadmap&markers=color:green%7Clabel:JA%7C{{ states.device_tracker.fha_fha.attributes.latitude }},{{ states.device_tracker.fha_fha.attributes.longitude }}
    limit_refetch_to_url_change: true

What has changed? And how to have it again working?

I have a similar map image which is no longer working. Copying and pasting the link into Chrome shows me the error “The Google Maps Platform server rejected your request. You must use an API key to authenticate each request to Google Maps Platform APIs. For additional information, please refer to http://g.co/dev/maps-no-account”

So, I it looks like Google has locked this down and now requires an API key for all Map requests through the API.

I have an API key and account already. I’ll just have to figure out the url format to use.
