 * Hi
   I am getting an error **Google API Error:** Your Google API Key is not valid
   for this request and permission is denied. Please check your Google [API Key](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key).
 * This is the message in the View Retrieved Data
 * { “error_message”: “This IP, site or mobile application is not authorized to 
   use this API key. Request received from IP address 2a02:4780:a:1601:0:3b71:9b78:
   2, with empty referer”, “html_attributions”: [], “status”: “REQUEST_DENIED” }
 * I’ve followed the instructions, but not sure what else to do or what I’m missing.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fgoogle-api-error-8%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * [@danielpsnell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danielpsnell/) Thanks for
   asking about this error.
 * There is a clue in the Retrieved Data. Just set your IP address to the IPv6 mentioned
   here.

       ```
   
 * Once set as an API Restriction, go to Additional | Clear Cache.
