GoogleMap client side integration broken? (Geocoding)

jamesmichaelhooker · January 21, 2020, 4:20pm

Hi Team,

I’ve been following the documentation to return formatted address results for clicks on the map, sending out a geocode request with location = lat_lng from the GoogleMap integration and I get met with the following error:

ExternalError: Geocode failed: REQUEST_DENIED

Is there something wrong with this at the moment?

Thanks,

James

Welcome to the Forum, @jamesmichaelhooker!

By default, you’re using a shared API key that we provide for free. Google sets a usage limit for that key that is shared between all users.

To use your own API key, add the Google API Service to your app:

Then enter your API key in the Maps API Key box:

Thanks for pointing this out, it is indeed not well documented! I’ll add a note to the relevant part of the reference docs.
