API key

Hi,

Thank you for interesting to use this plugin. This plugin need 2 different API Keys because it will be used in 2 different purpose. The Browser API is used when you setting the Admin Area to get your store location info. And the Server API is used to calculate the distance for customer address and your store location. As Google does not allow you to specify both an HTTP referrer restriction (for the admin map usage) and an IP address restriction (for the server-side distance matrix calculation) so need to split it in 2 different API keys. The version 1.4 and earlier is just using 1 API Key, which mean that the API Key cannot be restricted at any type. And many users complaining about security as the API Key cannot be restricted.

I hope this the answer of your question.

sorry i don’t understand how to “split in 2 different keys”

Create 2 API Key with different restriction type each. HTTP referrer restriction and IP address restriction

ok that’s what i have done but i get this:
Server API Key Error: API Response Error: REQUEST_DENIED – API keys with referer restrictions cannot be used with this API.

wait please i try something

i get this :
Server API Key Error: API Response Error: REQUEST_DENIED – This IP, site or mobile application is not authorized to use this API key

Okay that mean that your site IP is not whitelisted in the Google API console. Please contact your hosting provider to get the correct server IP address and then add it to Google API console.

ok thanks

It is ok if put no refere for server key !thanks
