    I tried a valid, enabled Google API key for a javascript map and I received this error:
    “The Google Maps API server rejected your request.”

    and then I tried a key for a static map and got this error.

    “The Google Maps API server rejected your request. The provided API key is expired.”

    I regenerated the key, but it still didn’t work. I can’t see the map.

    Please advise.

    Hi, kdcpelt

    Sorry for late reply.

    There could be many reasons. Like-

        API rate limit exceed.
        Incorrect API key configuration.
        API Key may take up to 15 minutes to take effect.

    You can read about rate limit here-
    https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/usage

    Make sure your domain is whitelisted for the API Key. If possible generate API key from this link –
    https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key#get-an-api-key

    Is possible please share website link you are working on, so that i can debug more.

    Thanks.

    Hi ankurk91,
    I too have been away from the project. I’m unclear how I could have reached the “API rate limit” (I’m not an expert with API configuration). I know that I waited more than 15 minutes and it still hasn’t taken effect. The error message I get is “The Google Maps API server rejected your request. The provided API key is expired.” However, I thought that once the key is generated, it doesn’t expire.

    To double check, I generated a new key. I believe it is whitelisted and I set restrictions for only on site (“*.uniontavernworcester.com/*”) and I don’t think there is any way I could be exceeding the limit. Here is the site where the map is supposed to appear. The site where this is being used isn’t live yet. What information may I provide that would help you?

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch!
