# API key restriction problem

 * When adding an API key restriction (HTTP or IP), calendar events do not show.
   When there Key restriction is set to “None” then events appear. As reported by
   another user, Step 7 of “Creating a Google API Key” does not occur when creating
   the key and it’s my understanding restrictions will only work with a server key
   but I don’t see any way to determine if that’s the type of key that is created
   by default.

 * Yeah that’s just how it works right now. Maybe we will change it in the future
   but not at the moment.
 * Thanks for pointing out the docs changes, we are working to get those updated.
 * Are you having any issues or you just wanted to let us know that info?

 * Yes, the issue is pointed out in my first sentence; “When adding an API key restriction(
   HTTP or IP), calendar events do not show.”
 * Calendar events show when the API key restriction is set to None but when setting
   either HTTP or IP key restrictions, the events disappear from our web page.
 * So, how can we add a key restriction and keep the events viewable on our web 
   page?
 * Thanks,

 * As stated above that is not possible right now with the plugin. You can’t set
   the restrictions with the API key currently. It may change in the future but 
   I have no estimate about that at this moment.
