谷歌地图反向编码 API 突然开始失败

Question

In my react native app I am using Google Reverse geoCoding API to get location names from lat-lng. It was working fine for months, and it suddenly starts failing now.

The query that i was using:

fetch("https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=" +
            this.state.region.latitude + "," +
            this.state.region.longitude +
            "&key=" + GOOGLE_API_KEY
    )
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(responseJson => { ... })

I realized that i was using it wrong all these months as it should be .../json/latlng instead of .../json/address . So I corrected it now:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=....

as mentioned in the Offical Docs

Still its not giving any results, despite saying status: 200

Below is the response I am getting from this fetch call, it doesnt give any significant info of what could be wrong.

            "__collector": {}
        }
    }
}

I tried giving multiple different lat lng pairs (which were working earlier), but it doesnt work anymore.

I have a valid Google Maps Billing Account with a few hundred USD already in the credit. So it's not the billing issue as well.

UPDATE

When I put this query in browser (as suggested by @geocodezip in comment) it gives a billing related error response:

{
   "error_message" : "You must enable Billing on the Google Cloud Project at https://console.cloud.google.com/project/_/billing/enable Learn more at https://developers.google.com/maps/gmp-get-started",
   "results" : [],
   "status" : "REQUEST_DENIED"
}

Although the billing is already enabled. I am now talking to the Google Cloud Support, to get it resolved.

Answer 1

I talked to the Google Support and they told me that it could be because the registered billing account (for Google Cloud Platform) was in INR and its no longer compatible with Google Maps Platform Due to India migration.

https://developers.google.com/maps/gmp-india-faq#bill-why

And I have to change my (Google Cloud) project billing account from INR to a USD billing account. Despite my Google Maps billing account already in USD.

(Yes they are different. Google Maps billing acc & Google Cloud Billing acc)

Without any warning email, Google Maps suspended the maps API service abruptly !!

People using maps apis in their production app, please take care.
