Error using Google API

    Hey Noah,

    I just experienced a strange error.
    I did the recommended set up for the Plug in with a new Project in the Google Developer’s Console, then I stumbled across the error.

    At first with “We’re open” then I retested it with your Rating Plugin.
    Both of your Plug-ins show me the same Error message: “Error: Your Google API Key is not valid for this request and permission is denied. Please check your Google API Key.”
    But in the Google Developer’s Console the new API Key shows multiple uses, but everytime it is reportet as a error in the Developer’s Console.

    The Rating Plugin shows this as retrieved data:
    “error_message”: “This IP, site or mobile application is not authorized to use this API key. Request received from IP address 2a03:4000:30:8a40::13:5825, with referer: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?placeid=ChIJrTLr-GyuEmsRBfy61i59si0&language=de&fields=icon%2Cname%2Cpermanently_closed%2Cformatted_address%2Cvicinity%2Crating%2Creview%2Curl%2Cuser_ratings_total&key=AIzaSyB-zEVXy9fHODQ8eKwjywlOqiulbi84i”,
    “html_attributions”: [],
    “status”: “REQUEST_DENIED”

    So I triple checked and copied the IP-Address and the Place ID.

    After this I changed the Application Restriction in the Google API from IP to HTML-Website and reseved this arrow message (from the rating plugin): “error_message”: “API keys with referer restrictions cannot be used with this API.”,
    “html_attributions”: [],
    “status”: “REQUEST_DENIED”

    So is there anything I did wrong?

    Thanks, Jan

    @frepho Thanks for being the first person to contact me about something to do with this new plugin!

    Okay, there is a clue in the error code here. Please use the following IP for your Restrictions by IP:

    2a03:4000:30:8a40::13:5825

    The restriction is only for the web server’s IP and not the website’s URL. The URL will not work. The IPv6 mentioned here should be fine.

    Once that is done, you can follow the other points in the Visual Guide.

    I will reply promptly if you have any further questions here.

    All the best,

    Noah

    Thank you for your feedback!
    Now it is working.

    The Problem was indeed the IP Address. I did my previous attempts only with the IPv4 address, as described in the plug in. With IPv6 it works perfectly.

    @frepho Thanks for letting me know.

    As a result of your query, I am improving the IP address detection in the next version of the plugin.

    Enjoy!
