403 Access Not Configured - All solutions exhausted.

[Andy Sly]

Like many others, I'm getting the 403 "Access Not Configured" error when I try to use the Google Translate API.

I've tried all the following workarounds in the various threads from this group:

1. I confirmed that billing is enabled

2. I generated a new key.

3. I created a completely new key.

4. I added my server's IP address to the allowed IPs whitelist.

5. I'm not exceeding my quota (in fact, I've used 0%).

Still no luck. What else can I do?

[Andy Sly]

As a last-ditch effort, I tried disabling and re-enabling billing, but there was no effect. Still the exact same error:

domain: usageLimits
reason: accessNotConfigured
message: Access Not Configured
code: 403

Additionally, every time I generate a new key, it's only active for 1 day. I just generated a new key, and it's status is: 

Active until Sep 20, 2012 9:32 AM

What gives?

[Ani Varghese]

Hi I have a similar problem with Google translate API . showing the error code 403 Access not configured . I  have tried Google translate with the sample code provided by Google and for API pricing is enabled.

translateText({

"error": {

"errors": [

{

"domain": "usageLimits",

"reason": "accessNotConfigured",

"message": "Access Not Configured"

}

],

"code": 403,

"message": "Access Not Configured"

}

}

);

Please help to find a solution .

Thanks

Hi there,
Long shot ::
Even if you have a dedicated IP on your hosting account, sometimes the IP you take as your site's IP is not the IP Google sees.
Often the external IP is the one of the hosting providers main IP (If you are on a shared box) or of a router at the location facility.
If you have to separate hosts, try ping one from the other to really get your IP.

Example in php - put a copy of both of these on each host and call http://firstdomain.com/get_ip.php?echoer=seconddomain.com ::

// new file - save as get_ip.php
$post_string = 'ping';
$echoer = $_GET['echoer'];
$x =curl_init('http://'.$echoer.'/ping.php');
curl_setopt($x, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($x, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($x, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$post_string);
curl_setopt($x, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($x, CURLOPT_PORT, 80);
curl_setopt($x, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($x, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($x, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($x, CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE, 64000);
curl_setopt($x, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
$ip = curl_exec($x);
$headers = curl_getinfo($x);
curl_close($x);
echo 'The originating IP: '.$ip;
echo '<br>';
print_r($headers);
// end of file

// new file - save as ping.php
echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
// end of file

Might help...

I have the same problem accessNotConfigured but I am on azure platform and so I don't have a dedicated IP, so I took a browser key and gave the site http adress; still, can someone help?

[João Martins]

Have you tried using a key with any referrer allowed?

Can you add the following argument to your requests: "trace=token:ACwti_cyKdlcp0rBkTR_LrlE0juNBxOJefDdWZet41dm3dwLq_cVIJep_AirnQ3ksLkSIv7F64FsTnnWIlDmx79_p05Z28U6aw" and do one or two test requests?

I would also need your project IDs to be able to relate the requests to each of you.

[John O'Gara]

I'm seeing the same error, I migrated my app last week and updated the api key to include the new IP address, everything worked fine for a couple of days and now I'm getting the access not configured message. I've tried creating a new API key but to no avail. My project number is 187291853995 

[John O'Gara]

I finally solved this, turns out I needed to register my server's ipV6 address.

[Xin Lin]

but how do I register my server's ipV6 address?

[Michael Patzer]

I'm seeing this issue as well (5/31/13). My project ID is: 145968764290

[João Martins]

Can you add the 'trace=token:ACwti_eaRBppN61BfurFrhunvwCLmR1AiH0YZSbqNUT8B4lXH3G_zKcFmPeVt_OUyBF_t8TYHftIrVc7kiUY9PpKdjnLoiBF2MVBv1HL97KQ7I1llftxCU0' argument to the body of your request?

[Dan Ciruli]

Elad, Richard --

I will see if someone can investigate what's happening.

[Michał Podbielski]

Another case. Projct number: 790183110676

In my case everything was working fine for years and sudennly it stops without any changes on our side. 

Does any support exists here?...

[Dan Ciruli]

We've reproduced this in house and are troubleshooting now.

We'll post with updates when we have more info.

[Dan Ciruli]

Internally we've found that there is a delay in the enablement of billing -- that is, from the time you enable billing through the APIs Console to the time when the backend systems are notified and will permit calls.

Does anyone on this thread not have their problem solved by waiting? 

Note: according to engineering, the wait time could vary anywhere between a few minutes and an hour. (An hour? Yep, that's what I'm told -- but I'm also told that when the glorious new Cloud Console is released soon, this will be a nearly instantaneous).

[Michał Podbielski]

It has nothing to do with billing in my case. I was charged 3rd of this month and in reports I see that there was no translation since 25th of last month.

I'm still getting no translations...

[Dan Ciruli]

Michal -

Can you run a trace for me? Add this to an HTTP call: 

trace=token:ACwti_cvuGn9Tuy0y9vWy9J8qZs18SmT0jnLv_DSvu4sbR48htEiIRz0wXRXINQ8avmYxdM53_WhK78rGd7G33gaChbVYH2yFw

For example:

https://www.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2?key=[Insert your key]&source=en&target=es&q=Hello%20world&trace=token:ACwti_cvuGn9Tuy0y9vWy9J8qZs18SmT0jnLv_DSvu4sbR48htEiIRz0wXRXINQ8avmYxdM53_WhK78rGd7G33gaChbVYH2yFw

[Michał Podbielski]

Just did it and send several requests for booth - old key (used since Dec 18, 2010 5:30 AM) and new key (created Aug 7, 2013 2:13 AM trying to solve the issue).
Hope you can help...

[Dan Ciruli]

Got 'em. We'll look into this for you.

Given that there may be some privacy issues (IP addresses, etc.,) I may contact you directly via email.

[Dan Ciruli]

Michal -

I have some information for you.

Please email me directly (at my last name @google.com).

[Michał Podbielski]

I started working again. So it was on your side. Thanks for help :)

[Elad Hackim]

Dan,

I'm still receiving an error java.lang.Exception: [google-api-translate-java] Error retrieving translation.

I'm using this api in an android app.

Do you have any info that can help me here?

[Dan Ciruli]

Elad - try appending a trace key to your request:

trace=token:ACwti_c3qGTi9wf6gMdimtdu3H16EGhY_dojfn9q6qFVx72d_V_MQ_fWTas6FqYEl4icSHMwd9hxOVy6ceCQX3NtYVNh2ncTiA

For example:

https://www.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2?key=[Insert your key]&source=en&target=es&q=Hello%20world&trace=token:ACwti_c3qGTi9wf6gMdimtdu3H16EGhY_dojfn9q6qFVx72d_V_MQ_fWTas6FqYEl4icSHMwd9hxOVy6ceCQX3NtYVNh2ncTiA

One will be enough.

[Elad Hackim]

ok I have tried it. got the same result.

com.google.api.GoogleAPIException: java.lang.Exception: [google-api-translate-java] Error retrieving translation.

[Dan Ciruli]

Elad -

That trace did not go through. As far as I can tell, your request is never making it to Google at all. If you have access to a stack trace, try to determine where it is failing (I am not an Android developer).

[Dan Ciruli]

Michał -

The problem was that your key is restricted to only work from your IP; for some reason, you are now sending your IPv6 IP instead of the IPv4.

We updated your account to reflect the IPv6.

Anyone who finds this thread in the future: if your project is configured to only work from your IP and suddenly stops working, try to determine if you are still sending the IPv4 version of your IP.

[Matt Mayer]

For me, adding a fake Referer header to the requests was enough to get it working. I was using a networking library that didn't send any referer by default.

[ptcsfdcs...@gmail.com]

The issue seems to be with Referer .. remove referer from API configuration at your gmail account and try it again ...  

[Adam Singer]

I just ran into this example issue using the javascript sample from github. https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/storage-getting-started-javascript I assumed that when creating a new "Simple API Access" that I needed to add the host who would be accessing. In my case it was http://127.0.0.1:8080 and http://localhost:8080 (dont ask why I do both, ran into bugs in the past when using one or the other...). So after removing all "Referer" from the "Key for browser apps (with referers)" section of the API key used for the sample everything worked. I feel the documentation could of been a little more verbose on the storage sample, maybe I'll create a github pr tonight. 

[Miguel Teves]

AGAIN TRANSLATIONS ARE NOT WORKING!!!

My server IP changed, I set correct IP in "Key for server apps (with IP locking)" and it is not working. 

I think it is same issue - I'm setting ipv4 and you are expecting ipv6... So what value I should set there now? How can I check how my IPv4 looks in IPv6???

[Jason Woosley]

Having the same issue here.  

 - Billing is configured

 - Translate API is 'on'

 - API key generated against public IPv4

I tried to add my IPv6 address to the whitelist but it was not accepted as valid.

Project ID: 1027245813887

Here's the URI I'm using to test:  https://www.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2?key=MyKey&source=en&target=de&q=Hello%20world

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

[Jason Woosley]

Got mine to work.  Went back to the cloud console and selected to revert to the old interface -- that allowed me to enter my IPv6.  This didn't work, so I deleted the IP restrictions entirely and now it's working.

I am having the same issue :( 

Don't know for PAID service google is not providing well docs and help

fuck of translate api

i have to go with Microsoft API 

shame on you google translate :(

even hacked google translate api is working fine better than PAID service 

[Sean Dunn]

The worked for me. Go to  code.google.com/apis/console and then revert to the old interface when they prompt you with the option. Then edit allowed IPs and include your ipv6 address. Worked perfectly.

[Sean Dunn]

I changed my account to both ipv4 and ipv6 but its still unreliable. can i get a trace token or something so i can figure this out?

[Translate API team]

Hi Sean,

Could you please provide your project number and then append the following trace token to your request so we can try to delve into what might be happening?

trace=token:ACwti_ecAGKgPOATkBmdnUBvlWjjQ_U4MGFNteGsbqUGBaMGZ8t5hf0GmAMDD3E3I3UPcssxbVbgXhfddvUIzfd5rL0pHnnYpg

For example:

https://www.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2?key=[INSERT YOUR KEY]&source=en&target=es&q=Hello%20world&trace=token:ACwti_ecAGKgPOATkBmdnUBvlWjjQ_U4MGFNteGsbqUGBaMGZ8t5hf0GmAMDD3E3I3UPcssxbVbgXhfddvUIzfd5rL0pHnnYpg

I have the same problem.

how do I register my server's ipV6 address?

Please help me, Thanks in Advance.


_______________________________________________________________________________
Access Not Configured. The API is not enabled for your project, or there is a per-IP or per-Referer restriction configured on your API key and the request does not match these restrictions. Please use the Google Developers Console to update your configuration.
