I experienced the same error     This link talks about how to set up API key restrictions  https   cloud google com docs authentication api-keys adding http restrictions  In my case  the problem was that I was using this restriction       HTTP referrers  web sites  Accept requests from these HTTP referrers    web sites   Optional  Use   s for wildcards  If you leave this blank    requests will be accepted from any referrer  Be sure to add referrers   before using this key in production    https     example net     This means that URLs such as https   www example net or https   m example net or https   www example net San-salvador  would work  However  URLs such as https   example net or https   example net or https   example net San-salvador  would not work  I simply needed to add a second referrer      https   example net     That fixed the problem for me

Chrome s Javascript console suggested I declare the entire page address in my HTTP referrer list  in this instance http   mywebsite com map htm Even though the exact address is http   www mywebsite com map htm - I already had wildcard styles listed as suggested by others but this was the only way it would work for me

This worked for me  There are 2 major categories of restrictions under api key settings    Application restrictions API restrictions   Application restrictions      At the bottom in the Referrer section add your website url      http   www grupocamaleon com boceto aerial-simple html    There are example rules on the right hand side of the section based on various requirements       API restrictions      Under API restrictions you have to explicitly select  Maps Javascript API  from the dropdown list since our unique key will only be used for calling the Google maps API probably  and save it as you can see in the below snap  I hope this works for you     worked for me     Check your Script   Also the issue may arise due to improper key feeding inside the script tag  It should be something like      lt script async defer src  https   maps googleapis com maps api jskey YOUR API KEY amp callback initMap    type  text javascript  gt  lt  script gt

That your billing is enabled  That your website has been added to Google Console  That your website is added to the referrers in your app    do a wildcard for both www and none www    http   www example com    and http   example com    That Javascript Maps is enabled and you are using the correct credentials   That the website has been added to your DNS to enable your Google Console above   Smile after it works

I tried many referrer variations and waiting 5 minutes as well until I realized the example Google populates in the form field is flawed  They show     example com     However that only works if you have subdomain  or www  in front of your domain name  The following worked for me immediately  omitting the leading period from Google s example     example com

Check you have the correct APIS enabled as well   I tried all of the above  asterisks  domain tlds  forward slashes  backslashes and everything  even in the end only entering one url as a last hope   All of this did not work and finally I realised that Google also requires that you specify now which API s you want to use  see screenshot     I did not have ones I needed enabled  for me that was Maps JavaScript API   Once I enabled it  all worked fine using   http   www example com    I hope that helps someone

Check your decklaration on site  To load the Google Maps JavaScript API  use a script tag like this    lt script src  https   maps googleapis com maps api js key YOUR API KEY amp callback initMap  async defer gt  lt  script gt    I using this declaration on my Wordpress site in function php file  wp enqueue script  google-maps-v3      maps google com maps api js key YOUR API KEY   false  array    false  true     I have set API key on this format  and its works fine  http   my-domain-name without www  com     this declaration not working    my-domain-name com

None of these fixes were working for me until I found out that RefererNotAllowedMapError can be caused by not having a billing account linked to the project  So make sure to activate your free trial or whatever

I found that even your HTTP Referreres are valid enough  wrong set of API Restrictions causes Google Maps JavaScript API error  RefererNotAllowedMapError   For example    You are using Javascript API for the key  Add http   localhost   to Application Restrictions   HTTP Referrences Choose Maps Embed API instead of Maps Javascript API This causes RefererNotAllowedMapError

I got mine working finally by using this tip from Google    https   support google com webmasters answer 35179   Here are our definitions of domain and site  These definitions are specific to Search Console verification   http   example com  - A site  because it includes the http    prefix  example com  - A domain  because it doesn t include a protocol prefix  puppies example com  - A subdomain of example com http   example com petstore  - A subdirectory of http   example com site

Come on Google  you guys are smarter than the API Credential page lets on    I know because I have two sons working there    The list of  referrers  is far pickier than it lets on    Of course  it should be more forgiving    Here are some rules that took me hours to discover    The order in the list is important   Moving your URL up in the list may make it work   http     prefix is required  Even  localhost  needs it    http   localhost foo bar html  A trailing   as a wildcard seems to work as if it is a string compare  Even with  http   localhost foo bar html    http   localhost foo bar html arg 1  will not work    Will a wildcard help   For both prod dev  have  at least  two rows   http   localhost foo bar html  and  http   my site com foo bar html  A port number  8085  4000   does not seem to be necessary    There are probably other rules  but this is a tedious guessing game

I struggled to make this work as well  but here are some pointers    The URLs set as referrers include http  e g  http   example com   Google Maps JavaScript API was enabled Billing was set-up on this account   Once all of this above was resolved  the maps displayed as expected

For deeper nested pages  If you have a project in a folder for example or nested pages  http   yourdomain com your-folder your-page you can enter this in  http   yourdomain com      The important part being        depending how far you need to go  It seems that the   will not match   or get into deeper paths    This will give your full domain access  well unless you have deeper nesting than that

According to the documentation   RefererNotAllowedMapError  means     The current URL loading the Google Maps JavaScript API has not been   added to the list of allowed referrers  Please check the referrer   settings of your API key on the Google Developers Console    I have the Google Maps Embed API set up for my own personal work use and thus far have not specified any HTTP referrers  I register no errors  Your settings must be making Google think the URL you re visiting is not registered or allowed

There are lots of supposed solutions accross several years  and some don   t work any longer and some never did  thus my up-to-date take working per end of July 2018   Setup   Google Maps JavaScript API has to work properly with      multiple domains calling the API  example com and example net arbitrary subdomains  user22656 example com  etc  both secure and standard HTTP protocols  http   www example com  and https   example net  indefinite path structure  i e  a large number of different URL paths    Solution    Actually using the pattern from the placeholder   lt https  or  http gt      example com    Not omitting the protocol  but adding two entries per domain  one per protocol   An additional entry for subdomains  with a    leading the hostname   I had the feeling that the RefererNotAllowedMapError error still appeared using the proper configuration  and having waited ample time   I deleted the credential key  repeated the request  now getting InvalidKeyMapError   created new credentials  using the exact same setup   and it worked ever since  Adding mere protocol and domain seemed not to have included subdomains  For one of the domains  the working configuration looks like this       As text    Accept requests from these HTTP referrers  web sites      https     example com       https   example com       http     example com       http   example com

I know this is an old question that already has several answers  but I had this same problem and for me the issue was that I followed the example provided on console developers google com and entered my domains in the format   domain tld    This didn t work at all  and I tried adding all kinds of variations to this like domain tld  domain tld      domain tld etc   What solved it for me was adding the actual protocol too  http   domain tld   is the only one I need for it to work on my site  I guess I ll need to add https   domain tld   if I were to switch to HTTPS   Update  Google have finally updated the placeholder to include http now

According the google docs this happened because  the url on which you  are using the Google Maps API  it not registered in list of allowed referrers EDIT   From Google Docs  All subdomains of a specified domain are also authorized  If http   example com is authorized  then http   www example com is also authorized  The reverse is not true  if http   www example com is authorized  http   example com is not necessarily authorized  So Please configure http   testdomain com domain  then your http   www testdomain com will start work

This is another sh1tty Google product with a terrible implemenation   The problem I have found with this is that if you restrict an API key by IP address  it wont work    BUT far be it from Google to make this point clear    It wasn t until troubleshooting and researching I found       API keys with an IP addresses restriction can only be used with web   services that are intended for use from the server side  such as the   Geocoding API and other Web Service APIs   Most of these web services   have equivalent services within the Maps JavaScript API  for example    see the Geocoding Service   To use the Maps JavaScript API client side   services  you will need to create a separate API key which can be   secured with an HTTP referrers restriction  see Restricting an API   key     https   developers google com maps documentation javascript error-messages  FFS Google    Pretty important piece of information that would be good to clarify on setup
