Google Maps Platform is suddenly rejecting my request - google-maps

Suddenly today our services started to have requests rejected by Google Maps Platform. The message we get is the following:
"Google Maps Platform rejected your request. This IP, site or mobile application is not authorized to use this API key. Request received from IP address , with referer: "
I've looked into our settings and nothing has changed, all seem to be properly set, including authorized domains.
I've looked to many other questions here on Stackoverflow but none of the answers solved my problem. This integration was working just fine before today.
Thanks for your help!

I was able to make it work by enabling the Embed API that was the source of the issue.

Using Gmail API in Chrome Extension without Identity API?

I have a Chrome extension that uses the Gmail REST API to send emails on behalf of the user. This API requires an Oauth2 token, which I'm retrieving using chrome.identity.getAuthToken.
The Problem
However, I am running into some issues with the Chrome Identity API. In particular, if the user authenticates with chrome.identity with a different Gmail account then the one they're signed into Chrome with, then they are prompted to re-login every hour or so (which doesn't happen if the accounts are the same). In addition, I'd like to minimize the number of permissions my extension asks for as a general principle (permissions sometimes introduce warning messages on install and risk disabling existing users on update), so I'd like to not have to ask for the "identity" permission if I can avoid it.
My Question
How can I authenticate the Gmail API in Chrome Extensions without using the Identity API?
Current Progress
I initially tried using Google's Javascript Client for auth, but that seems to be incompatible with Chrome extensions. After having searched other SO issues and some Google materials, it seems that the Identity API is indeed the recommended auth solution in Chrome Extensions. However, for the UX reasons mentioned above, I'm finding this solution problematic. And I do think an alternative should be possible -- for example, the MixMax Chrome extension, which uses the Gmail API, does not ask for the Identity permission.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Website/domain being blocked by google in Google Chrome

Since few days we are experiencing an issue in one of our a domain named "id-validation.us".
Google is blocking this domain on browsing from google-chrome. We tried to rectify the issue and found that google blocking all hits which is being done to id-validation.us. We are using a wildcard certificate on this domain and certificate is fine as it is working well on rest of the domain. We tried to remove the code from a web server as well but the result is still same.
Google is throwing below error once you browse the website from google-chrome. Currently, an index.html file is placed on this web-server for this domain but the response is same.
error message
Can someone help me find the solution to this problem?
You may have some automated script that may affect the computer or browser settings. Google recognizes any automatic redirection or setting-changing code in a server/website as malware.

Error GET Google Places API

Today, Google places API stopped working on my site. Yesterday, it was working just fine. When I call it, I get following error in developer's console:
GET https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/js/AutocompletionService.GetPredictions?1slux&4scs-CZ&9sgeocode&15e3&key=AIzaSyCe8-UQIQuXtaQ5xVOqtwnCtZOjDtXj4Co&callback=_xdc_._8rz5bv&token=109805 net::ERR_ABORTED
The problem isn't in Google maps API itself, because that works just fine (without the Places). If I take fresh code snipper from Google website, it is still not working, as you can see here. So the problem isn't in my code, but in the API itself. I checked my project on Google site and the API is enabled, so it should work. Maybe it's connected to my API key? I haven't tried creating a new one, I don't want to have too many of them.
SOLUTION: After approximately one hour (from posting this), it started working again. Apparently a problem on Google side. So if you have the same problem:
Go to your Google account and check in API manager if the Google Places API service is enabled.
If it is enabled, wait and be patient. Hopefully it will fix by itself.

Google disabled use of the Maps API for V3

I am an amateur website developer but proficient in html and javascript.
I have a handful of websites using the Google Maps API V2 with no problem. I tried to upgrade to V3. I got a new API key and used the sample html (based on Australia) provided by Google. All I got was the 'disabled' message.
If I remove the key completely it works! What am I doing wrong?!! (www.gn45.com/gmap.html)
This message appears, because there's a particular domain whitelist, that is configured for each business account. By default, you can always access google APIs with an API key from localhost, but any other domain should be specifically set within account management.
With the mobile application, your index.html is read from the filesystem and then passed to in App Browser. Therefore google rejects a request to the API with API key. You can temporarily remove API key from your request and access the API without any, this way you'll have a 50k request/month limit, which should be sufficient for development purposes.
I'm looking for a way to configure this myself, as soon as I find one, I'll provide an update.

Simple API Access status: suddenly INACTIVE

I was developing android application that has backup to google drive feature.
I have used Simple API Access key and it worked like a charm for few weeks.
However, from yesterday, it does not work at all. (cannot list uploaded files and 403 fobidden error when trying to upload new file) I checked Google APIs Console and found out
Simple API Access
Status: Inactive
and Reports is not available and keeps showing popup message "An unexpected error has occurred. We're looking into it."
I googled about this message but there is no solution. (but found several issues related to google cloud SQL)
I was considering to use google drive on commercial level android app and this is very bad...
I wonder what is the problem and how to reactivate api status.
Thanks :)
Unfortunately, because of the security model of the Drive SDK, we need to be sure that an application is who they say they are, which simple access does not give enough assurance of. For a commercial application, this strength of security is great for users.
For a solution, you need to use Google Play Services as outlined in the documentation. We are currently working on a guide to get started with this very quickly on Android, and should be available within the next week.
