HI All,
Has anyone used the Google Places API to do text searches, and if so, can you please help me with how to get the API Key to work. The code I am using is as follows.
I have created the API Key through the developer console and switched on the Places API.
I have tried with multiple keys but the one I believe should work is a Browser based key. It is not linked to any referrers, so should work. I have tried it on the browser on my desktop and phone and the request works. The one thing I am not 100% sure on is the format of the POST request. Can anyone see any problems with what I have there? I am trying to use SandroProxy to intercept the calls and see if I am missing something but am getting other problems there around the ssl certificate.
The error I am getting is in the Job.GetString:
{
"error_message" : "An internal error was found for this API project.",
"html_attributions" : [],
"results" : [],
"status" : "REQUEST_DENIED"
}
Any help greatly appreciated...
