Google API Request Denied

I am trying to access the geocode API but it is saying my request is denied and giving me this error.

b’{\n “error_message” : “You must enable Billing on the Google Cloud Project at https://console.cloud.google.com/project/_/billing/enable Learn more at https://developers.google.com/maps/gmp-get-started”,\n “results” : [],\n “status” : “REQUEST_DENIED”\n}\n’

Can anyone tell me in detail what process I need to follow in order to use the API.

Hey @VinayakSingh11111,
Yes you need to do so.

Earlier it was able to do, but some time back google changed it policies and hence now we need to enable billing.

how can I enable billing?

But when I am trying to enable billing it is asking me to create a billing account and when I am trying to create it, after verifying my card it is again redirecting me to the step 2 part15h and I am not able to create my account. I have tried several times now. @prashant_ml

hey @VinayakSingh11111 ,
in the console itself , there are steps to enable billing.

Kindly check that your card is supported.
If it isn’t , it sometimes , just go previous steps without even giving any error.

Try with another card,

Hey @prashant_ml ,I have tried with other cards still no luck

well i am not sure about this then , usually we get this error due to card supportability only .
but it might be because you card doesn’t support automatic recurring payments.

You can contact google support team for this issue.
I am sorry for this buddy.
