Error API_KEY_HTTP_REFERRER_BLOCKED

[falkrussow]

Hello
i recently got the following message

{ "error": { "code": 403, "message": "Requests from referer \u003cempty\u003e are blocked.", "errors": [ { "message": "Requests from referer \u003cempty\u003e are blocked.", "domain": "global", "reason": "forbidden" } ], "status": "PERMISSION_DENIED", "details": [ { "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.ErrorInfo", "reason": "API_KEY_HTTP_REFERRER_BLOCKED", "domain": "googleapis.com", "metadata": { "service": "youtube.googleapis.com", "consumer": "projects/00000ausgenullt00000" } } ] } }

I have Contao 4.9

According to the error message you have restricted your API key. You need to remove that restriction (or change it to an IP restriction for example) - or use a separate API key just for the sync in case you use the same API key for front end functionalities (and thus want to restrict the API key).

I only have the restriction on the IP. It works until a few days ago. I have the same problem in other versions of Contao, which always have their own API key and project. Everywhere the same error. Unfortunately there is nothing to be found in the log either.

I only have the restriction on the IP.

You need to double check that. According to the error message a HTTP referrer restriction is in place for the used API key.

I have now taken out all the restrictions for testing and then it works. But that is very insecure. If I enter the IP or domain again, it doesn't work again.

If I enter the IP or domain again, it doesn't work again.

You cannot use domain restrictions for server-side API keys. You can only use that for API keys used in the front end, e.g. for the Google Maps JavaScript SDK for instance, or Google Maps iframes.

IP restrictions should work.

Anyway, this has nothing to do with this extension.
