Google Maps "This API project is not authorized to use this API."

Hello,

We have been using the Google Maps widget to list our different business locations around the world. We have recently tried to add a new one in Spain by copying one of the others in Spain and changing the address and information.
This has worked in the past for every other location.
However now we get this message:
“This API project is not authorized to use this API.” and the map marker will not move.

I have tried in Chrome and Firefox with the same result. I have also tried creating it from scratch. Still getting the same message over and over again, and the map marker will not move.
I have also googled the address I am using and made sure it is the one google pulls up as an official location.

Anything I might be missing? Thanks!

Hello! Please accept my apologies for this late reply :frowning:

I see that my colleague Renata has already provided a solution for you, and I do believe you’re good now.

Just in case, here’s the solution for this issue:

The following error - This API project is not authorized to use this API - means that you didn’t enable the Geocoding API in your Google API settings. Please follow this link, you’ll find the way how to enable it - How to get Google API Key for Google Maps widget.
