 * PS: Do not post it here, because your API key should keep private.

 * I got the same error. I also went through the whole process of creating a places
   API. Lots of time wasted.
 * I know what a Places ID is and an API Key. Niether worked.
 * Not sending error info, just explain why it not working.
 * I need an answer and I leave reviews.
 * Thank you,
