I have a website www.holidaysbycycle.com and use OpenStreetMap to embed on the site using a html code. This has worked fine until recently when the maps just show as an empty grey box (still with zoom in/out). Are the embedded codes working? Any ideas? I have used different browsers.

Many thanks Tom

Specifically it's the links to the cycling and transport layers on your site that don't work for me. Taking an example link location from your site:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/export/embed.html?bbox=4.821281433105468%2C52.338171059294034%2C4.978179931640624%2C52.40262833871028&layer=cyclemap

If I omit the "&layer=cyclemap" off the end it works as an embedded link (but obviously shows the "wrong" map).

There appears to be a bug in the openstreetmap-website code, where it uses the API Keys correctly in the maps in most places they are used on openstreetmap.org, but not in the embed maps, which uses its own javascript.

I've opened an issue and hopefully it'll be fixed.

One of the maintainers has fixed the problem, and it's now deployed. You shouldn't need to change anything to see the fix, just refresh.

Indeed. OSM also uses an API key for displaying the cycle layer.
