google maps javascript api not working on multiple connections - google-maps

I have created a page which uses google maps API v3. The problem I am facing is that it works perfectly on my WiFi connection but whenever I try to run it using a different WiFi connection then it doesn't work and console also doesn't have any errors.

Clear your cookies and try again. Maybe you need to add an api key.

Enable google maps api key in production environment

I made a flask app and deployed it to a linux server on Linode. It is running and some of my pages are working. For example, the contact page works. However, some of them have an inset google map. Upon loading one of these pages, my map is visible for a split second, then a big gray exclamation! and the map is blocked.
While testing the app using Flask's built in development server in my remote environment, all my functionality worked. When moving to a production environment, I used nginx and gunicorn. And I think I did it correctly. Judging that I do see the google maps working for just a second, it looks like this is not the issue.
Do I need to enable my google maps javascript api key for the production environment somehow?
When I have a look at your source code, I see
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=None&callback=initMap
So, you did not add the API key, so it cannot work.
Please see https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key for how to get a key.

Google Maps API for both localhost & production server, as of April 2019

TLDR
My code works fine on my laptop when accessed as file://<path>/index.html, but neither on my laptop with an Apache server running when accessed as http://<path>/index.html, nor on my real (production) server. I see no errors on the console, but the map is just a grey rectangle.
[Update] I moved to LeafletJS shortly after asking this question, and recommend others to do so too.
It has been a few years since I coded any Google Maps applications.
It seems that, as of last year, it is now necessary to have an API key, by providing it with credit card details, and to provide it with each API call.
Unfortunately, there is a lot of of information about this, much/most of it out of date and/or contradictory.
Can anyone point to the canonical guide, preferably with screenshots, of how to configure this?
I wish to draw a map, and add some makers, which will require reverse geocoding, such that I provide a street address and convert it to lat/long in order to place the markers.
Sounds simple enough, but which of the many thousands of "helpful" site has gotten it right?
For instance, what seems to be the current Google help page speaks of
From the Navigation menu, select APIs & Services > Credentials.
On the Credentials page, click Create credentials > API key
But I can't even see that menu option :-(
[Update] If it helps any, the error message in the developer console said :
Geocoding Service: 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 For more information on authentication and Google Maps JavaScript API services please see: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key
[Update] I am trying to access the API like this
<script src="maps.google.com/maps/api/…>
and
var url = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=' + comapnyLocation +'&key=XXXX';
$http.get(url)
[Update++] in the developer console, I see a bunch of errors along the lines of:
aliextension.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/JAR.png:1 GET https://aliextension.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/JAR.png net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
I have no idea what aliextension is, nor does it appear in my code (maybe in some minified JS?)
Ok, it is something to do with AliExpress (Ali Baba). I removed it & the timeout messages go away, but I still have problems.
If I load the index.html into Chrome as a file://, then it works just fine. But, if I load it `as http://, where I have a Xampp Apache server running, the map box remains grey, although I see no error messages. The same thing happens on my real server :-(
This page should be your starting point:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial
it helps you working with Google map javascript API.
To embedded a google map to your website read the overview page in the above link.
To add markers to your google map read this page:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/adding-a-google-map
To do reverse geocoding read this page:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/geocoding
That all i need to work with google map. I think you can do the same too.
The cause for this is quite likely an API key restriction.
In order to permit these host-names or IP addresses, you have to:
a) go to the credentials panel and select the according project, then click on "Api key".
b) there you can loosen the restrictions, for HTTP referrers (for web-sites)
... or for IP addresses (in case these are server-side requests).

Bing Ads API v2 oAuth2

I have a Google Appsscript code using oAuth2 to connect to Bing Ads API.
It goes like:
OAuth2.createService(connector.OAUTH.serviceName)
.setAuthorizationBaseUrl(connector.OAUTH.authorizationURL)
.setTokenUrl(connector.OAUTH.tokenURL)
.setClientId(connector.OAUTH.clientId)
.setClientSecret(connector.OAUTH.clientSecret)
.setPropertyStore(PropertiesService.getUserProperties())
.setScope('bingads.manage')
.setCallbackFunction('authCallback');
If I use one of my old bing dev applications (I believe API v1), oAuth2 works fine, however, when I use a newly created application (and add the callback URL), I am getting unauthorized_client error.
I couldn't find a change reference between the versions, so not sure what I am doing wrong
This is how my old app is set up:
Apparently, my application was somehow flawed.
Instead of changing the code, I recreated the application, and it now works.

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 maps API v3 flash empty viewport

I'm using the google maps API v3 with flash and it works fine on one of my websites.
I transfered it to another website and changed the API key, but all I see is the default background color with no error message. Unfortunatly, I cannot access the flash source code.
Is there a way to debug the application or see some error messages without the source code?
Or maybe somebody has an idea of what is wrong?
Use Firebug Net monitor to see if all of the request are going through. That would be the first place that I would start. My guess is that there are HTTP Requests trying to get data from a domain that doesn't have a crossdomain policy allowing access from the new site you moved it to.
First of all maps V3 doesn't need a a key. I think you are combining parts of V2 (with key) and V3(which doesn't need key) so obviously there is something wrong in your code.
