Not Fetching Reviews

Are you getting any sort of error messages?

No. but when I try and search for the business, it doesn’t search. API says no calls are being made.

Check the javascript console for errors. Right click on the page > inspect, look for the console window.

This API project is not authorized to use this API. Please ensure this API is activated in the Google Developers Console: https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/places_backend?project=_ For more information on authentication and Google Maps JavaScript API services please see: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key

…even though it is authorized…and I have no restrictions on it.

Strange, when you go to the console (https://console.developers.google.com/) change to the correct Project, make sure the ‘Places API’ and the ‘Maps JavaScript API’ are both showing in the API list. Then under Credentials on the left menu, make sure that your API Key is showing restrictions set to none.

Also, try to test this URL by putting your Place ID and your Google API key in the URL.

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?placeid=YOUR_PLACE_ID&key=YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY

That’s the same URL the plugin pulls reviews from, so if you can get to that then it should work.

All set – thanks – hadn’t enabled the Places API, just the Maps JS API.
