title: Google Maps: "This API project is not authorized to use this API."
body: <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>If I use the API Key parameter, with my API key generated in my developer console I get the error message: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>This API project is not authorized to use this API.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The URL used to access maps is below: </p>
  
  <pre><code>https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/xml?origins={origin_address}&amp;destinations={destination_addresses}&amp;mode=driving&amp;language=en-US&amp;sensor=false&amp;key={APIKey}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>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. </p>
