In addition to the API key that is assigned to you, Google also verifies the source of the incoming request by looking at either the REFERRER or the IP address. To run an example in curl, create a new Server Key in Google APIs console. While creating it, you must provide the IP address of the server. In this case, it will be your local IP address. Once you have created a Server Key and whitelisted your IP address, you should be able to use the new API key in curl.

My guess is you probably created your API key as a Browser Key which does not require you to whitelist your IP address, but instead uses the REFERRER HTTP header tag for validation. curl doesn't send this tag by default, so Google was failing to validate your request.

I had the same issue and I found this   On the url  it requires the server key in the end and not the api key for the app   So Basically  you just add the server key in the end of the URL like this   https   maps googleapis com maps api place nearbysearch json location yourlatitude yourlongitude amp radius 5000 amp sensor true amp key SERVERKEY  Now  to obtain the server key  just follow these steps   1  Go to Developer Console https   code google com apis console   2  In the Credentials  under Public API Access  Create New key  3  Select the server key from the option   4  Enter your IP Address on the field and if you have more ip addresses  you can just add on every single line NOTE  Enter the IP Address only when you want to use it for your testing purpose  Else leave the IP Address section blank    5  Once you are done  click create and your new Server Key will be generated and you can then add that server key to your URL   Last thing is that  instead of putting the sensor true in the middle of the URL  you can add it in the end like this   https   maps googleapis com maps api place nearbysearch json location yourlatitude yourlongitude amp radius 5000 amp key SERVERKEY amp sensor true  This will definitely solve the issue and just remember to use the server key for Places API   EDIT  I believe the web URL has changed in the past years  You can access developers console from here now - https   console developers google com apis dashboard    Navigate to developers console - https   console developers google com  or use the link from details to navigate directly to API dashboard  Under developer console  find Label from the left navigation panel  Select project  Choose Credentials from the left Navigation panel  You could create credentials type from the Top nav bar as required    Hope this answer will help you and other viewers  Good Luck

Google Place API requires the referer HTTP header to be included when making the API call   Include HTTP header  Referer yourdomain com  and this should fix the response issues

You re trying to use an API KEY which you restricted in a way that won t allow this action   According to Google   Note  If you need to call web  web service  and or mobile APIs from the same  client-side  app  create and restrict multiple keys    So the right thing to do is to create another API KEY  and choose the correct restrictions for this matter  In your case  choose  IP addresses   under  Application restrictions    and use  ADD AN ITEM  to add your server ip  Notice that leaving a blank list won t work  and will result in google changing your restrictions to  None    Also  don t forget to add the relevant APIs under  API restrictions   in your case   Geocoding API     One last thing - Google is blocking the use of this API until you link your app to Google Cloud Billing Account  So if you didn t do it yet  once you successfully get a response  it will say you have to do it first  it has a free starting package

For the latest version of the API the exact opposite seems to be true for me   When calling the url https   maps googleapis com maps api geocode json address  lt address gt  amp key  lt key gt  I was getting the following error     You must use an API key to authenticate each request to Google Maps Platform APIs  For additional information  please refer to http   g co dev maps-no-account   Once I switched the order to https   maps googleapis com maps api geocode json key  lt key gt  amp address  lt address gt  it worked fine   Note that the error message received above was the message I got when going directly to the URL in the browser  When I called the API from a software program I received an HTML response with basically the following message      We re sorry    but your computer or network may be sending automated queries  To protect our users  we can t process your request right now
