The Google Distance API does not require an API key, but this is something that should be supported for business licenses and per-key quota limit tracking.
Here are the quota limits:
Users of the free API: 100 elements per query. 100 elements per 10 seconds. 2 500 elements per 24 hour period.
Maps for Business customers: 625 elements per query. 1 000 elements per 10 seconds. 100 000 elements per 24 hour period.
