authentication_error
Authentication failed due to an expired API key. Please renew your API key to restore access.
This error has been identified and solved.
Reason
The error message "API key expired. Please renew the API key" in the Google API can occur due to several reasons:
Account Inactivity: If the account associated with the API key has not been used for more than 30 days, the key can expire.
Recent Account Changes: If the account was created within the last 30 days and the password or email address has been changed, the API key can also expire.
Propagation Delay: Sometimes, newly created API keys may not be immediately active due to a propagation delay, which can cause them to appear expired temporarily, even if they are valid.
Expiration Configuration: API keys can be configured to expire after a certain period, which is a security measure to prevent long-lived keys that could be compromised.
Solution
To resolve the "API key expired. Please renew the API key" error in Google APIs, you need to take the following steps:
Create a New API Key
Go to the Google Cloud Console.
Select your project or create a new one.
Navigate to the "API & Services" > "Credentials" section.
Click on the "Create Credentials" button and select "API Key" from the dropdown menu.
Name your key and click on the "Create" button.
Update Your Code
Copy the newly generated API key.
Update your application code to use the new API key.
Enable Required APIs
Ensure that the necessary APIs (e.g., Google Maps, Cloud Vision) are enabled in the project.
Here are the key steps in summary:
Generate a new API key through the Google Cloud Console.
Copy the new API key.
Update your code to use the new API key.
Enable required APIs if they are not already enabled.
