Dealing with the API key in mapsstatic()

[chttrjeankr]

Describe the bug
Dealing with the API key and sending the correct response is not very secure.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Use the Static Maps API by querying for "Show me a map of ..."
2. Result returned is an URL which exposes the API key

Expected behavior
Probably the best alternative would be to return an image when such a query happens. Or an embedded map.

Additional context
None
