Google Maps API Key Error

I'm trying to connect my PHP script to the google maps API using CURL it connects fine but when i pass the API key it says that it is not valid, below is some of the code I'm using to get stats...

<?php
    $url = 'https://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address={ADDRESS}&sensor=false&key={MY_KEY}';

    $cURL = curl_init();

    curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, true);
    curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
                                                'Content-Type: application/json',
                                                'Accept: application/json'
                                           ));
    curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

    $result = curl_exec($cURL);

    curl_close($cURL);
?>

I have tried configuring my API keys for both server (set by IP address) and browser (set by Domain Name) on the Google API page at https://code.google.com/apis/console/

The problem that I'm having is every time i send a request i get a return JSON message saying:

stdClass Object (
    [error_message] => This site or IP is not authorized to use this API key.
    [results] => Array (
    )
    [status] => REQUEST_DENIED
)

If i try to goto the url in a web browser on the computer in question https://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=The%20White%20House,%20Washington&sensor=false&key={MY_KEY} i get the same problem:

{
   "error_message" : "This site or IP is not authorized to use this API key.",
   "results" : [],
   "status" : "REQUEST_DENIED"
}

Server type:

Thanks in advance for any help!

You could create table location in your mysql.every time you send a request .insert it to databse. after that you can count request by using count record in your database.i used this solution

The API key is not required for your use of google map API. It is a confusing error message that google replies with in this case. Just remove from your URL the '&key={MY_KEY}', and you should be fine.
