You don't mean that you enter your Google API key with those curly brackets, do you? — El Tomato, Feb 23 '18 at 13:43

It may be the reason of IP address got restricted by the Google.

You can follow below steps to rectify it:

Go to the Google API Console.
Select the project that was created for you when you signed up.
From the list of API keys, select the key you're using.
In the Restrictions section, select IP addresses (web servers, cron jobs, etc.).
Under Accept requests from these server IP addresses, enter the IP addresses from which your key is to be accepted, one per line. You may also enter a subnet using CIDR notation (e.g. 192.168.0.0/22).

You must call google directions api from a project with same bundle id associated with the key you created

strange behaviour i observe now you click above url it will give response with data. mean not including my api key. why this happen? – MRizwan33 Feb 23 '18 at 13:28
it's seems there is a wrong with this key , assure it's for directions , or copy past issue – Shehata Gamal Feb 23 '18 at 13:30
i think the issue is with url. i have just copy this url from stackOver. – MRizwan33 Feb 23 '18 at 13:35
This isn't the correct answer because the directions API is a web service and bundle restrictions can't be applied! – Underscore Jun 03 '21 at 14:29
