Nearby Places Search Requests

Can I use google places api with direct HTTP requests to find nearby places? I am fallowing their documentation https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/search I create an api key but when I try to request HTTP from the browser like this one : https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query=123+main+street&key=API_KEY

I got this message:

<PlaceSearchResponse>
<status>REQUEST_DENIED</status>
<error_message>
This API project is not authorized to use this API. Please ensure this API is activated in the Google Developers Console: https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/places_backend?project=_
</error_message>
</PlaceSearchResponse>

Looks like the API is not enabled in your project. Follow the link in the error message, select your project and click "Enable".
