  "html_attributions" : [],
  "results" : [],
  "status" : "REQUEST_DENIED"
}

I also try creating android key and it return -

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

I solved the problem by enabling Geocoding api in the developer console.

Make sure you have 'Google Places API Web Service' enable, and you must use a Server Key (not an Android key)

Enable api

set credential

I tried this many time util I found the solution

if you will send Url from your app to get place information then you are using Google Places API Web Service not Google Places API for Android

So you must enable Google Places API Web Service on your API Dashboard and it will work.

Actually I was also suffered from this problem but enabling "Google Places API Web Service" worked for me.

The problem is that we are using Google Places's Web Service for getting Places and we are forget to enable Google Places API Web Service in Google developer console.

So please make sure that whenever you are using Google Place API and don't forget to enable Google Maps Android API and Google Places API Web Service .

While using google places api you android api key will not work , create a server key and use that server in in the places url while making request. In manifest your same android api key will lie. This should solve your problem.

Make sure Have you enabled Google Places API Web Service. Because Google Places API for Android not for it.
hope it will work.
if not then use a simply url "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?key=YOUR_API_KEY&components=country:gr&input=YOUR_INPUT_VALUE" like POSTJSON Thank you.

I solved this problem by following below prerequisites:

1) Make sure you are using below URL

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?input=YOURSEARCHTEXT&key=YOUR_SERVER_API_KEY. Don't use your android/IOS API key.

2) Make sure you have enabled following API in the console.

Google Places API Web Service (Paid Service)

I had the same problem. In my case the problem was that I tried to send request using simple HttpUrlconnection by this url: 

 https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=62.25227243964484%2C59.12338379770518&radius=500&key=my_key

Where my_key was a key for Google Places API for Android, but when I switched to Google Places API Web Service, this works fine. It seems that for using key for Google Places API for Android you should follow this guide https://developers.google.com/places/android/

It looks like you're using the Places API Web Service, which requires enabling "Google Places API Web Service" and providing a server key: https://developers.google.com/places/webservice/intro#Authentication

Since you're building an Android application, you may want to try the Places API for Android, which we just released in March :) The documentation is available at https://developers.google.com/places/android/

I hope this helps!
