Google Places API Key: Create for Free (in 5 easy steps)

[@bronxslayea720]

Thank You So much!! You've no idea how much I was struggling with the api

[@tipswithpunch]

Glad it helped!

[@kauejones1670]

Thanks for the video. Your content is very clear and didactic. Here is advice for anyone who has a problem with the Business Review widget of the Ultimate Addons for Elementor plugin. It only works if I leave the key unrestricted. I don't know why, but it just worked out that way. After solving this, I found that in the official documentation of the plugin the step by step is done without placing the restriction.

[@tipswithpunch]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Prophonez]

[@tipswithpunch]

Awesome to hear that 🙌

[@upsurgeagency3593]

Thanks you so much for making this easy to understand.

[@tipswithpunch]

glad to help!

[@flutterdev7203]

What happens when the 90 days end? Do they charge you? What if you don't even use the key anymore? Nothing will happen?

[@tipswithpunch]

I'm not 100% sure about this... But I believe after 90 days they start to charge you... but if you have no usage, then there won't be any charges. Please check Google's pricing page for exact info

[@vamsiraj_2998]

Now the places API needs a separate billing account. Does it affect the 2000 requests/day for free benefit?

[@tipswithpunch]

I'm not sure :/

[@freddiebrowniii]

Great content. Very informational and entertaining :)

[@tipswithpunch]

Glad you enjoyed it Freddie!

[@nicolasflamel4096]

[@eMeN903]

I like those movie clips, make these boring tech videos fun to watch.

[@tipswithpunch]

Glad to hear that Michael! 🙌 that's my goal with them, to make it a bit different :)

[@VijayKumarVeerla-rl3co]

i dont have visa/ master cards then how to do

[@tipswithpunch]

unfortunately they require it so you might be out of luck :(

[@ysnm]

I did everything exactly as you instructed in your video and am still getting an "Invalid Key" in the plugin I am using - Strong Testimonials. Any ideas on why?

[@tipswithpunch]

did you enable billing option in Google? more here: strongtestimonials.com/docs/extensions/testimonial-importer/

[@abdullahalmasum5542]

i don't have any credit card,is there any way to embed google places api for my university web site project? Thanks in advance from Bangladesh.

[@tipswithpunch]

Hi Abdullah, I don't think so. In the past you could get trial without credit card, but they have changed some months ago.

[@tipswithpunch]

great to hear you were able to go around the issue! and found a local api! Nice man!

[@AmaanKhan-yf4zk]

I'll need Google places api too for my college project, where did u find it for free?

[@ramanadhareddy5275]

even if we want to use it for free , should we link bank account?

[@tipswithpunch]

the only way you can use this. If you want a map provider that doesn't require this you can use TomTom: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmGXgmhsgKt_aqc

[@erhanseven1952]

Dankje vriend 😊

[@tipswithpunch]

Graag gedaan Erhan.

[@ManasaSavnur]

Hey, the API key was generated for one of my google business lecation, but i want it for a different location. I manage both the business locations but i need the main one on my website. How to get the API for that location?

[@tipswithpunch]

I'm not sure what you mean Manase, with google places you can let your users search for specific places. Or do you need this for some plugin?

[@ManasaSavnur]

@@tipswithpunch Yes i want to use the API through the google maps plugin on wordpress. But when i generate the API on cloud services, it gets generate for only 1 of my locations and not the other.

[@tipswithpunch]

Sorry for late replay Manasa. hmm, maybe the plugin has some country restrictions, you can check them there. I'm not familiar with google maps plugin? In general you can restrict google maps / places api to a country/ city.

[@vargasfernandojr.p.2171]

Is it required to use your credit card for the api key?

[@tipswithpunch]

unfortunately yes. If you need a map without credit card, check this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmGXgmhsgKt_aqc

[@DaLoscha]

Hi, the map works only when chose maps javascript API in divi mode, i want to set a pin with the adress as well, when i type in the adress there is always an error. Do you know what to do?

[@tipswithpunch]

yeah for maps, you need the maps api. To select the address, you need places api. The plugins are sometimes buggy or then you need to give it 5-10mins for the api to update. Alternatively, if you don't want to have the hassle with APIs you could also embed a google maps as an Iframe.

[@DaLoscha]

@@tipswithpunch ok thx, by the way, you remind me extreme of zlatan ibrahimovic , even your voice sounds identical :D

[@tipswithpunch]

haha, yeah I used to have a long hair like him. Then for sure there was some resemblance :D

[@E_steban]

you talk too much about unnecessary things. This was a waste of time.

[@tipswithpunch]

sorry to hear that, I hope you are able to solve the issue with another video

[@Famous_Flavours]

needs updating

[@tipswithpunch]

thanks for info, I need to check this

[@Chachamemology]

Found 404 eror

[@tipswithpunch]

where do you see this?

[@MrNagios]

what if the testing period ends? Does Google take my money?))

[@tipswithpunch]

you have $200 dollars for free, so it depends on how much traffic you have.

[@MrNagios]

@@tipswithpunch then how they count - how much money they should debit from the account? Do they count my traffic?

[@tipswithpunch]

they count request to their servers for the Places suggestion. I think easiest way is to just monitor how much they will charge you during the free period (so they will actually add $300 to your account, and then it will start getting charged based on the usage)

[@MrNagios]

@@tipswithpunch ok, sounds good, then maybe you can guide us - how to monitor it?

[@tipswithpunch]

just go to your developer console, and I think it's in the billing or maybe quotas. But in any case there is also a banner on top telling you how much you have left from the $300

[@DavidLeBlanc]

Nice socks.
