This IP, site or mobile application is not authorized to use this API key.

[Peter Bennett]

Here is my API Console:

Key for browser apps (with referers)

API key:	THISISMYAPIKEYEXAMPLEONLY
Referers:	www.interestfreememorials.co.uk/2014/map.php http://www.interestfreememorials.co.uk/2014/map.php
Activated on:	Feb 13, 2014 6:18 AM

<?php

$jsonurl = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=bradford&sensor=false&key=THISISMYAPIKEYEXAMPLEONLY

$json = file_get_contents($jsonurl);

var_dump(json_decode($json));

?>

And this is the output

object(stdClass)#1 (3) { ["error_message"]=> string(74) "This IP, site or mobile application is not authorized to use this API key." ["results"]=> array(0) { } ["status"]=> string(14) "REQUEST_DENIED" }

Arghhh please help, I have turned all related SERVICES in the console also but still get the above error and I have NOT reached my quota!

:(

Thanks

You'll want to use a server key (which you can limit based on the IP of the server you are making your request from) when using the web service.
