Solution 1

To enable Api do this

Go to API Manager
Click on Overview
Search for Google Maps JavaScript API(Under Google Maps APIs). Click on that
You will find Enable button there. Click to enable API.

OR You can try this url: Maps JavaScript API

Hope this will solve the problem of enabling API.

Solution 2

Assuming you already have a application created under google developer console, Follow the below steps

Go to the following link https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/dashboard? you will be getting the below page
Click on ENABLE APIS AND SERVICES you will be directed to following page
Select the desired option - in this case "Maps JavaScript API"
Click ENABLE button as below,

Note: Please use a server to load the html file

Solution 3

as of Jan 2017, unfortunately @Adi's answer, while it seems like it should work, does not. (Google's API key process is buggy)

you'll need to click "get a key" from this link: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key

also I strongly recommend you don't ever choose "secure key" until you are ready to switch to production. I did http referrer restrictions on a key and afterwards was unable to get it working with localhost, even after disabling security for the key. I had to create a new key for it to work again.

Solution 4

Have you tried following the advice on the linked help page? The help page at http://g.co/mapsJSApiErrors says:

ApiNotActivatedMapError

The Google Maps JavaScript API is not activated on your API project. You may need to enable the Google Maps JavaScript API under APIs in the Google Developers Console.

See Obtaining an API key.

So check that the key you are using has Google Maps JavaScript API enabled.

Solution 5

I had the same error. To fix the error:

Open the console menu Gallery Menu and select API Manager.
On the left, click Credentials and then click New Credentials.
Click Create Credentials.
Click API KEY.
Click Navigator Key (there are more options; It depends on when consumed).

You must use this new API Navigator Key, generated by the system.

I'm trying to create a simple html page (I'd later like to add an autocomplete input there) that include google-places-api. I have an api-key (which is enabled) but I still get an error message.

Here is my html-
```
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=MY_KEY&libraries=places"></script>
    <title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
```
but I get this error message-

and in the console I get - Google Maps API error: Google Maps API error: ApiNotActivatedMapError

I can't understand what the problem is.. Appreciate anybody's help

Is 'consumed' a typo? If so, what did you mean to write?

Where is the API Manager? I don't find those options? Could you send a URL?

Check this: console.cloud.google.com/apis/…

For this to work, I had to enable the APIs, and then create the key. Make sure you don't do it the other way around.

For me it is saying you don't have permission to enable it. What I have to do now?

@bia.migueis I affirm (Apr 2018). Tried getting a new key several times and all gave ApiNotActivatedMapError. This link worked (although I thought I'd been there before, so maybe one has to just keep trying, not sure)

For places API you should also enable Maps JavaScript API.

Just giving me thumbs up on this method. I screwed around in the API console for about an hour before trying this and it worked in a matter of seconds. Google needs to get their s**t together.

But I dont need Google Maps javascript API, just need Places API! Not using any maps, just autocomplete field. If Places API required another to be enabled, shouldnt that come with it automatically?

I'm facing the same permission issue, what next, I know I cannot trick Google by enabling through inspect element like I would most insecure sites. what else can I do?

@PreciousTom I didn't get you

@PreciousTom I was having same issue and that was because I was outside of the project. You have to select the project from the dropdown and then you'll be able to enable the key

@JasonS This bug is still around as on 2022. I had to go to key & make some dummy changes & update it again to make it work with newly added API.
