Thanks for replying ... I was merely following the instructions on the web page I linked ...
https://support.google.com/code/answer/74501 ... viz, the dynamic loading equivalent of Google's own static loading example given there, in other words the dynamic loading equivalent of this: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=YOUR-KEY"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> google.load("search", "1"); // ... google.load("maps", "3"); </script> It worked until first the 302 affair of a week or two back previously posted about, but I was able to fix that, until now the search itself is giving a 404 seemingly as from this last weekend. It may have been deprecated in 2010, and was supposedly switched off in 2014, but I had no knowledge of that, and it was working last week. And there's still the question of why Google's own documentation is still claiming that it's current, apparently a decade after its deprecation was announced? Apparently the equivalent replacement service is the Geocoding service which is part of Google Maps. I have a Google Maps app and apparently Geocoding is already enabled as part of it, but when, following Google's own example page ... https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/start ... I put the followiing into a browser's address bar ... https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=<MyPostcode>+UK&key= <https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=IV274DN+UK&key=> <MyKey> ... I get back (I have to look at the page source to see it) ... { "error_message" : "API keys with referer restrictions cannot be used with this API.", "results" : [], "status" : "REQUEST_DENIED" } ... so now I'm wondering if the Geocoding API instructions are fully pukka, or if they are out of date as well!
