I have requested a link for embedding google maps on my website on
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/embed/start
and have authorized everyone with the link to use it
Referers: Any referer allowed
https://code.google.com/apis/console/
but I still receive a
The Google Maps API server rejected your request. This API project is not authorized
to use this API. Please ensure that this API is activated in the APIs Console:

Is there some other way to test my website locally with embedded google maps?
EDIT:
They say:
Easy embedding
Google Maps Embed API maps are easy to add to your webpage—just set the URL
you build as the value of an iframe's src attribute. Control the size of the
map with the iframe's height and width attributes. No JavaScript required.
but I still can't access the link.
The problem was that they have their "quick start" out of date.

It says you should only provide them with your API key but the thing is that there is a new version of the same website which they don't have links to from their guide but which you get a link to elsewhere( I got offered when in "billing" )
The new service is called Cloud Console and I found the API on/off buttons there.

You have to enable the "Static Maps API", "Google Maps API" and "Google Maps Embed API" and make sure to have your link in an iframe div
As Dominik said, go here:
https://console.developers.google.com/project/%your-project-name%/apiui/apis/library?q=google%20maps
Enable both APIs:
- Google Maps Embed API
- Static Maps API
Then go here:
https://console.developers.google.com/project/%your-project-name%/apiui/credential
- Create New Key
- Browser Key
And you're done.
I also had to enable the Google Maps JavaScript API.
