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.

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Unfortunately, there is a lot of of information about this, much/most of it out of date and/or contradictory.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).
I have just generated an API Key to enable us to display a Google map on our website but I'm getting the ExpiredKeyMapError. This is the exact same issue as this stackoverflow query from 8 months ago, but that has never received a solution: Google Maps ExpiredKeyMapError with recently created API Key
When the page first loads, the map shows for a split second and then it disappears, to be replaced with a grey box that says:
"Sorry! Something went wrong. This page didn't load Google Maps
correctly. See the JavaScript console for technical details"
And when I pull up the console, this is the error message I get:
Google Maps API error: ExpiredKeyMapError
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#expired-key-map-error
SCRIPT12008: WebSocket Error: Incorrect HTTP response. Status code
403, Forbidden
and that last line just keeps repeating.
Any help much appreciated because I have no idea how to solve this myself.
I had the same error after generating a new API key, but I had JavaScript API already enabled and everything correctly setup.
While searching for an answer and checking what else I can do, the key started to work. So every single time you create a new key, be patient and expect it to work within 1-8 minutes.
I discovered that it was not working because I hadn't separately enabled the Google maps javascript API. Once I'd done that, the map started working a few minutes later.
I discovered that it was not working because I hadn't separately enabled the Places API. Once I'd done that, the map started working a few minutes later.
Actually I am new in web development and doing work by search and reading tutorials. I am confused by google API and need some help.
I am using nodejs and need to show the google map in my view and show path of a vehicle on map. I have read https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/directions-waypoints#try-it-yourself and found the waypoints in direction is my solution.
According to the steps at https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/get-api-key#key
I have created a project, added libraries and also get api key from google.then to test my api key I made a html page just like a page which is defined here
And I got an error after loading map.It
Oops! Something went wrong.
This page didn't load Google Maps correctly. See the JavaScript
console for technical details.
And consol log said the url is not authorised so I added url to Domain Verification section at Credential of this link
but the error still appears.
I am sure there is a lot of info which I did not understand them but I need to know What's wrong on my work? Do I skip any step?
I found the solution to fix my problem! I did not enable javascript API and that caused error.
To enable JavaScript Api do this
Go to API Manager
Click on Dashboard
Click on Enable API with Plus button
Search for Google Maps JavaScript API and Click on that
You will find Enable button there. Click to enable API.
Few days ago I was able to make request to:
https://drive.google.com/a/{{domain}}/file/d/{{docDriveId}}/image?pagenumber=1&w=400
Via this API I was able to get image preview on multi-page documents.
Seems it's there, but times-out after some time. It doesn't work anymore. Does anyone know what happened? It seems there's no documentation on this API.
On the other hand, I am aware of the thumbnailLink URL when getting document object via API, but this will only get 1st page preview.
Any alternative solutions to this?
Thanks a lot,
M
That URL is not a part of the official Drive API and is not guaranteed to remain stable. The Drive API doesn't include the ability to fetch per-page image previews of documents, but you may want to investigate using the embedLink as an alternative: https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files
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.
