I added places with the Google Places API (Web Service) some weeks ago.
How does the approval work and
how long does it take till a place has passed Google moderation and is approved?
How do I know if a place was declined?
I added an other place with the Google Maps Maker. This place was approved within a week. What's the difference?
There are some reasons why we are receiving 'REQUEST_DENIED'
* You have not activated the Google Places API Web Service in the Google Developers Console.
* The key parameter is missing from your request.
* The key parameter does not match the your API key in the Google Developers Console.
* Your API key has not been correctly set up in the Google Developers Console:
* The request was not sent as an HTTPS request, HTTPS is required for all Google Places API Web Service requests.
* The incorrect HTTP method was used to send the request:
Double check all listed above then try to execute your application.
The newly-added place is available to your app after a short time, and is added to a moderation queue for possible addition to Google's Places database and Google Maps. Places that pass moderation will be visible to all apps and on Google Maps.
When you add a place, you receive a place ID for the new place immediately. This place ID is scoped for your app only. The place then enters a moderation queue, awaiting approval for addition to the Google Places database. If approved, the place will receive a new place ID, available to all apps and on Google Maps.

Is there a way to register Authorized URLs in Google Maps via an API?
Currently, I am manually adding URLs through the Google Maps Support portal, but I would like to be able to make an API call when a customer submits a new domain to my service.
Unfortunately, currently there is no way to manage API key restrictions programatically.
There is a feature request in Google issue tracker to make it possible:
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/35829646
Please star this feature request to add your vote and subscribe to notifications, at the moment it has only 6 stars, not enough to increase its visibility.
Update from Google
The best way to handle thousands of authorized domains is to use an API to programmatically manage your API Keys and their restrictions, and we have recently launched a new service that allows you to do this.
This API is still in Alpha. If you are interested in becoming a Trusted Tester for this service, you can use the following form to sign up, please read the instructions carefully:
https://forms.gle/qx2SMcarWCAsbWVp7
Please note that this API is not part of the Google Maps Platform. After you fill out the form, you will be contacted by the API Keys API team with instructions on how to get started, and how to receive support.
API Keys API is currently free of charge. However, please note that use of Cloud Endpoints may be subject to charges at high traffic volume. You can check the pricing sheet here:

Google Maps Javascript API is reporting that I'm over the limit, but I'm pretty sure I'm not. I get this error:
You have exceeded your daily request quota for this API. For more information on usage limits and the Google Maps Javascript API services please see: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/usage
My Google API dashboard gives these numbers for the past day:
Google Places API Web Service: 407
Google Maps Geocoding API: 70
Google Maps JavaScript API: 30
What could be causing this? How can I get this up and running again, it is killing my application?
I came across your question because I am in the same position, seemingly well below the quota limits according to the console.
In the developer's console, go to the Dashboard, then click on the Google Places API Web Service. Then in the Quotas tab, scroll to the bottom and you'll see the Requests per Day. Here I was clearly reaching the 1000 requests per day limit, hence explaining the blocking of the requests.
We now count Google Maps JavaScript API client-side requests towards
the daily limit of the associated web service API.*
So it's the libraries=places and associated api usage (e.g. autosuggest in the search box) that is triggering this.
I have made request to google place API no of request is near about 1500-1600 but in used quota limit showing 15800 . I have verified my account.
request:
$baseurl = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json";
why ?
You are using a textSearch. Text Search has a 10 times multiplier. From the documentation:
The Google Places search services share the same usage limits. However, the Text Search service is subject to a 10-times multiplier. That is, each Text Search request that you make will count as 10 requests against your quota. If you've purchased the Google Places API as part of your Google Maps API for Work contract, the multiplier may be different. Please refer to the Google Maps API for Work documentation for details.
I'm working on a project that uses Google Maps APIs to reverse geocoding locations.
The customer is supposed to buy a licensed API key when rolling out to production.
Now I'm developing the application and I also need to test its functionality when using a valid, whether free or business, API key.
Let's pick a sample reverse geolocation request
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=40.714224,-73.961452&sensor=true
I have registered a developer account into https://code.google.com/apis/console/ and generated a server API key. Then I enabled Google Geolocation APIs and Google Maps API v3 (I think I need only the second).
When adding &key=XXX parameter to my previous request I get an error that the key is not valid.
Reading documentation with more attention, I discovered that the geolocation service I'm using is actually part of Maps Web Service APIs (Maps V3 APIs run on browser as Javascript). I tried to find those APIs into the Services list of my console but couldn't find anything more.
How do I use Google's reverse geocoding API with a business key for a project that will handle thousands of daily requests?
with no api key, the Google Geocoding API has the following limits in place: 2,500 requests per day.
Google Maps API for Business customers have higher limits: 100,000 requests per day.
to use to API for Business you have to use URL signing, see https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/business/webservices/auth
NB: If you're switching from the free API services to a Maps API for Business implementation, you must remove the key parameter from your requests. Google Maps API web services will deny requests made with both a client ID and a key.
We use Google Geocoding API to map address to Latitude and Longitude.
Here is the sample URL for encoding (which returns json) -
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Dallas&sensor=false
Message: OVER_QUERY_LIMIT
Ok, it makes sense, because we exceed over 2500 daily limit so we place API key like this -
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?key=xxxxx&address=Dallas&sensor=false
Message: REQUEST_DENIED
I'm wondering where/how to place the API Key.
Looks like in version 3 you need to pass the ClientID in the URL and not a key as you do in the free version: https://developers.google.com/maps/articles/v2tov3#newkey
So your URL should look like: http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?client=xxxxx&address=Dallas&sensor=false
Not lucky enough to have a paid account so I cannot test - but I think that will get you on the correct path.

Client ID
You must include your client ID in all API requests. Your client ID
identifies you as a Maps API for Business customer and enables support
and purchased quota for your application. Requests made without a
client ID are not eligible for Maps API for Business benefits.
If you're switching from the free API services to a Maps API for
Business implementation, you must remove the key parameter from your
requests. Google Maps API web services will deny requests made with
both a client ID and a key.

chapter of this guide.
