Not Found Error On Google Geolocation

Question

When i have put the url below to my browser adress bar i get a 'not found' text.

https://www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=API_‌​KEY

I have registered my app at console and get a api key for that application. I have even provide my credit card data at console and started my trial membership.

I am expecting that it returns me some json. But it doesn't. Why google is not recognize my api key and gives me not found page?

Answer 1

The URL https://www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=API_‌​KEY is for sending POST requests. Since you are navigating it directly in your browser, it won't return any result.

You need to send a POST request with Request body to get the desired result.

Please refer to the Documentation page for Geolocation requests to get more information on creating your Request.
