Good day,

I have a problem when loading my page and displaying the correct map. I have gone through the process to obtain an API from google but i still end up with the following error:

Localhost: Geocode was not successful for the following reason: REQUEST_DENIED

How do i fix this?

Kind regards,
Daniel

Hello,

If you are loading it in localhost and not a domain on the internet you may encounter this. The Google API is tied to your domain name. If you are running the site on the internet let me know and we can chat further.

Thanks,

Yep, all correct. I've tried reissuing it and trying again. Looks like that's made it work. Weird.

Yes, I would also need Google API login details too. You might just want to try re-issuing an API key, and then input this new fresh one, as this sometimes fixes it.

Let me try this.

I asked Mikek to login to our website to do some debugging, do you know what the delay may be about?

Hi J,

The API still doesnt work. Even if it is online. I contacted google and they said that there is a new payment policy being ruled in this month.

Do i need to pay for the API from google or can i use another company to provide me with that key?

Alternatively, I was wondering if instead using the s5 map it with google plugin, or even by using it, you can just add a picture with the map marker, obviously it wont be interactive map but atleast it is something

No the map API is not included in their new paid services so it will continue to work fine. The only way I can help is if you PM me login details. Joomla and your Google access so I can dig into this.

Hi,

I am trying to set this up for the first time and have the same error:

"Geocode was not successful for the following reason: REQUEST_DENIED"

Also, in the Chrome console I see the following error:

"Geocoding Service: This API project is not authorized to use this API.  For more information on authentication and Google Maps JavaScript API services please see: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key"

I have set up a "Maps Javascript API" key which has no restrictions on it so not sure why this is happening.  Did you get to the bottom of the problem?

As an update, I realised I might need to enable the GEOCODE API which I have now done, but still got the error.  However, the error has changed in the Chrome console to the following:

"Geocoding Service: You must use an API key to authenticate each request to Google Maps Platform APIs."

So I went back into the module and saved it (no changes) and did a hard refresh on my browser and it works.
