Symptom
When you call the Google MAP API with a URL similar to the one below:
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=hongkong&sensor=false
It returns the following error:
|
<GeocodeResponse> <status>REQUEST_DENIED</status> <error_message> You must use an API key to authenticate each request to Google Maps Platform APIs. For additional information, please refer to http://g.co/dev/maps-no-account </error_message> </GeocodeResponse> |
Cause
Google service has now changed the interface. It requires a Google MAP API KEY now and need to call Google MAP API via the https port.

if appeongetclienttype() = "MOBILE" then li_re = ln_inet.of_postURL( ls_request, ls_param, 80 ,as_response) else li_re = ln_inet.of_getURL( ls_request, as_response) end if …… |
