I refer to a answer given by Mike20132013 on
This IP, site or mobile application is not authorized to use this API key.
Mike in point 5 you say:
Once you are done, click create and your new Server Key will be generated and you can then add that server key to your URL.
Sorry, I am lost here. I have created a server key but to which URL are you referring to? Where exactly do I enter this URL please? I have bought the Google Reviews Plugin and I get the error message
"REQUEST_DENIED: This IP, site or mobile application is not authorized to use this API key. Request received from IP address 46.249.199.28, with empty referer" on my website.
My host has referred me to your answer.
Then you say
"Last thing is that, instead of putting the sensor=true in the middle of the URL, you can add it in the end like this:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=yourlatitude,yourlongitude&radius=5000&key=SERVERKEY&sensor=true"
I have no idea where to input this.
Easy part first: just omit the sensor parameter entirely. As the documentation says:
The Google Places API previously required that you include the sensor parameter to indicate whether your application used a sensor to determine the user's location. This parameter is no longer required.
For the REQUEST_DENIED error, please go to the Google Developers Console and ensure that:
you are using a Server key, not a Browser key or similar.
you have the Google Places API Web Service enabled (rather than e.g. Google Places API for Android).
your Server key either has a blank field for the IP addresses that may use it, or that the IP addresses field matches your IP (46.249.199.28).
The Get a Key part of the Google Places API Web Service documentation walks you through creating an appropriately configured API key.

I am a newbie in integrating APIs and so I am encountering some issues that need help.I have been working with Clash of Clans API for some weeks. I want to make a website where users can make request and get data from the server. **To use the API, a JSON Web Token is required and it needs to be passed as part of every request. The token is bound to rate limitations and specified IP addresses. **
What I have been doing is, create a token with my IP address, get the token and make request using it. Now, I want to take this a step forward but I have no idea how to take request from users around the world.
I thought of taking keyword from the user and making request from the server but don't know the step forward. Or maybe I should make requests using my server's address from my PC? Which I don't know how. I will appreciate it if someone could explain to me with this in layman's language and if possible through a reference. Thank you in advance.
There are many ways to design for Clash of Clans API architecture.
I just to make a simple design base on quick review of Clash of Clans limitation.
API_KEY can add IP address only when create API_KEY.
It means can't update (add) user IP address after create API_KEY.
Step 0 : Create API_KEY
Clash of Clans server only allow specified IPs and API_KEY for REST API call.
You need to know your server IP v4 address(production purpose) and your IP address(debugging purpose)
your IP address get from google search
After create key, you (developer), develop(or debugging) your API.
This is created API KEY in CC server
This example, using Postman check API.
Step 1 : User login
With his User ID and password. it will save into your server with hashed value.
(It means not save password, save hashed data). it can verify but if leak to hacker much more safe.
Use request API call(or service) to your server
Step 2 : Your server forward API to CC server
Server verify user is valid
If valid user, server forward API call into Clash of Clans(CC) server by CC API with API_KEY(Bearer Token)
Step 3 : CC server check correct API call
CC server verify by compare called API_KEY/IP address with saved API_KEY/IP address
Step 4 : CC server return API response to your server
Your server received the server API call
Step 5 : Your server return to user
User received her request a service
This API list
You can test it from your home.
This is example API call via CC server's documentation
I've been attempting to utilize the Yahoo API to connect to fantasy sports data. I don't have a web URL to connect to when I attempt to create an app, and everything I've read has mentioned that I should select "Installed Application" to avoid using a URL.
This option is not available to me.
Yahoo Developer Screenshot
On the official documentation this is what I see here
Yahoo Developer Documentation
Not sure if it makes a difference but I'm based out of Canada.
Thanks!
It's hard to find the documentation for it, but what you want is called oob (out of bounds, out of band). To get this to work, the steps are a little different (there is no such thing as installed application from what I'm aware of):
Add oob as one of the redirect uris
Make your normal request to the auth/login uri
This will give you a new page that provides you with a token. At this point, you need to manually use this token when you request the /auth/token uri
This last step just replaces the redirect to https://your-redirect.com/token and you will end up in the same position as before.
Now, you still shouldn't put your client_secret in your application if you plan on releasing it, but if you're using it internally or letting others provide their own secret then you should be good.
If you find the original documentation with the PHP source code, you can follow this flow.
I want to know how to use photobucket api. I successfully created a login in photobucket.
I am following the guidelines given http://api-portal.anypoint.mulesoft.com/photobucket/api/photobucket-api/docs/getting-started
The first step i am failing is that http://developer.photobucket.com is redirecting to different page.
As it is written
Go to the Photobucket developer web site at developer.photobucket.com, agree to the terms of service, sign up, and get the API key.
I am not able to open developer.photobucket.com.
I also see a redirect from developer.photobucket.com to photobucket.com. It seems that they incorrectly configured the redirect. The information about using Photobucket API required link was found in the support section:
Our engineers are working on a new API, with lots of changes, however,
this won't be available to users for a couple more months. Here is the
documentation on the current API.
If you'd rather not wait for this updated API, and would like the
current iteration now, please send an email to our API request email
address with the following information:
Your Photobucket username (This is the username for the account that
you have already created on Photobucket): Your application name
(whatever you would like): Do you require the key for commercial or
non-commercial purposes:
All three of these answers are required!
Send the API request to: pbdl-api#photobucket.com
The subject for the email should be: API Request
I want to configure a custom port for the redirect URL in the Google Developer Console for the class of 'Installed Apps'.
Following the instructions in https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2InstalledApp , it turns out that this should be possible:
redirect_uri=http://localhost:9004&
Going to the Console ("console.developers.google.com"), "Credentials", and "Create New Client Id", I cannot find the field, where to enter a custom port number. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!
In fact, The document you've read has answered you question:
When you create a client ID in the Google Developers Console, two redirect_uris are created for you: urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob and http://localhost. The value your application uses determines how the authorization code is returned to your application.
http://localhost signals to the Google Authorization Server that the authorization code should be returned as a query string parameter to the web server on the client. You may specify a port number without changing the Google Developers Console configuration.
I tried this idea and it works.
Give consecutive ports or probable ports in credentials as
**Redirect URIs**
http://localhost:55738/YoutubeVideoList.aspx
http://localhost:8080/YoutubeVideoList.aspx
http://localhost:8081/YoutubeVideoList.aspx
http://localhost:8082/YoutubeVideoList.aspx
http://localhost:8083/YoutubeVideoList.aspx
http://localhost:8084/YoutubeVideoList.aspx
and don't forget to give correct redirectURI with port(anyone above) while calling the authentication process.
Recently I started coding a Google Maps service integration. I went ahead and generated an API Key associated with my business email account on bronze level. When I use the service sans API Key everything works swimmingly.
If I use the API Key parameter, with my API key generated in my developer console I get the error message:
This API project is not authorized to use this API.
The URL used to access maps is below:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/xml?origins={origin_address}&destinations={destination_addresses}&mode=driving&language=en-US&sensor=false&key={APIKey}
How does one get the API Key to be authorized for v3 Maps JavaScript API. I am making the call as a raw post in the ASPX code behind to that address. It seems to me this used to work fine when I first started all this, now today all of the sudden I'm getting this error.
I need this to work since I will also be using places and that service seems to only work with the API Key. I would like to be able to have the key configured once and be done with it.
You'll need to enable each API you want to use.
The maps-javascript-API is one API, the DistanceMatrix-API(Webservice) another.
Go to the developer-console->API's and enable the Distance Matrix API
Note: this is only related to the DistanceMatrix-Webservice, when you use the DistanceMatrix-Service of the Javascript-API you don't need to enable this service.
