Google API troubles [General]

Your Question

Much like #142 I'm having trouble with the API throwing bad request. The container logs show:

app-1 | INFO 172.21.0.31:46742 - "GET
app-1 | /api/places/google-search?q=Daytona%20beach%20boardwalk HTTP/1.1"
app-1 | 400
app-1 | INFO 172.21.0.31:37960 - "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200
app-1 | INFO 172.21.0.31:42784 - "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200
app-1 | INFO 172.21.0.31:36718 - "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200
app-1 | INFO 172.21.0.31:54194 - "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200
app-1 | INFO 172.21.0.31:55386 - "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200

My key is setup as follows:

I'm sure I"m doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what I'm missing, thanks.

Hi 👋!

Could you confirm me two things:

• Your key is enabled (you pressed the check button on settings)
• You have the APIs enabled (see https://itskovacs.github.io/trip/docs/misc/gmaps-api)

Hello @itskovacs thanks for responding so quick!

I don't see anywhere that shows the key is as not enabled and the APIs are indeed enabled.

[itskovacs]

The links are available in the docs to check, you must ensure that the following API are enabled:

Places API (New): https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/places.googleapis.com
Geocoding: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/geocoding-backend.googleapis.com

If not, click the button to enable them 👍

Those are indeed enabled.

[itskovacs]

Alright. Sorry if it sounds redundant, you have successfully set up your key (AIzA...) in the settings and then you clicked the confirm button?

Do you have any message on the frontend? Or is it a default basic Bad Request?

I'm not home so I just want to put aside basic things before digging it 👍

I'll enhance the logging for the next version, to ease the debugging as well

[C-Blais]

Definitely shows as added:

The only frontend message I get is:

or

Depending on which option is selected here:

That's indeed very strange, until I add more logs, could you access the following link and paste the output you're having?

https://places.googleapis.com/v1/places/ChIJj61dQgK6j4AR4GeTYWZsKWw?fields=*&key=`<YOUR_API_KEY>`

It's a direct link to Google API Places, you must update <YOUR_API_KEY> with your actual API key.
Might want to do it in private window to avoid storing your key in your history 👍

Thanks for that. Turns out while Google forced me to add a card for billing it didn't automatically grant the project use of it; don't know why it couldn't have given a 401/403 response which would have been more helpful.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Perfect 🍻!
