Google Maps API key required for geocoding #4

Open faubulous opened 2 years ago

faubulous commented 2 years ago

We need a Google Maps API key for the organization Universität Bonn on the production machine for recurring geocoding database jobs.

Google Maps key was added to Sciebo shared drive.

Added the key to the production server. However, it did not report any error but did not retrieve any data as well. I guess we need to limit the key access using the server's IP address.

This does not work yet:

The embedded Google Maps is now working properly. However, the geocoding job still fails. Consulted Nick on this topic.

faubulous commented 2 years ago

When I issue a request to the Google Geocoding API with the key from the sever, I get the following error:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=%22Carl-Troll-Str.%2031%2053115%20Bonn%22&key=XYZ

REQUEST_DENIED This IP, site or mobile application is not authorized to use this API key. Request received from IP address 2a00:5ba0:0:1014::83dc:ba2, with empty referer

We should try to temporarily disable the API restriction or to set the IPV6 IP address reported from Google: 2a00:5ba0:0:1014::83dc:ba2

I could verify that by adding '2a00:5ba0:0:1014::83dc:ba2' to the list of allowed hosts in the Google Cloud console fixed this error. However, I do not have access to the production API settings.
