Google API issues.

When using a browser/website API key, I get error 403 forbidden.

When using a server API key, I get error 403 forbidden.

How exactly do you set up the google plugin?
I'm getting my api keys from here:
https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials

Thanks :)

Hi there,
@injuntony I made a randomised config that you could use for reference: https://gist.github.com/andyeff/05553ec8795067794e09

Single API keys are a straight forward "name": "key" mapping, whereas something like twitter which needs a few different things, has a nested set inside.

@doublebirdstrike The google plugin should have a @hook.api_key('google') line in it (or two, maybe) - that means it will read whatever key is in the config file named by "google" (check my example above).
Once you have the key in the config file, the plugin should be able to read it OK without any other changes.

Hopefully this helps!
