Not working.. I have raised a ticket at google. Curious what they have to say.. EDIT: it was a bug in the developer console of google. I created a complete new one and now it works. Anyway, thanks!

ketkew Looks like something is going on with the Google API. Apparently it stopped working.

which key do you need more? basically, you need to create 2 keys, one for user side and one for server side. Don't forget to restrict to avoid people to steal your key

Ok, I have created a new project from scratch and enabled all of the Map Api's and the YouTube Api and I am given two Api Keys, one for the maps and one for YouTube, nowhere can I find how to create User Side and Server Side Keys, however, after experimenting with the two keys I have been given I found that placing the Maps Key in the "Google API key (user side)" and the YouTube Key in the "Google API key (server side)" my site now works for both, so, am I wrong or are the Integration inputs lab... more
