Request_Denied when clicking on location

[maxpac]

Hi,

Facing this issue when I'm not able to click on a location to spoof (see photo)

Anyone facing the same issue?

[fritzggerard]

this might occur when the MAP API or Location API reached the cota limit. You have to add your own MAPs API key

[maxpac]

how do i do that?

Having the same issue.

Can be solved by using your own Maps API key, although this requires to setup a Google Cloud Platform project.
After setting up the project, you can obtain the key here https://console.cloud.google.com/google/maps-apis/
Next clone the webspoof repository by following steps from Readme section "Develop", open src/config/api.js and replace the api key there.
After that, you can run (npm run dev) or build (npm run build) the app for use with your own api key. (This should prevent the issue further, unless you manage to reach the api free quotas)

Matty, can you dumb it down. I downloaded the nodejs but then what?

[MattyTesar]

For obtaining the api key, please follow this https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key . You will be asked to create or link a billing account though, which requires you enter your credit card information. But if you'll be using this only for the webspoof app, no excessive use, you won't be billed anything. (To be sure you can setup a budget of $0 to be notified in case of any charge)
(Make sure that you enable Maps JavaScript API and Directions API - check here https://console.cloud.google.com/google/maps-apis/overview)

For the next steps, open terminal.app on your mac, check you have NodeJS installed (eg. by running npm -v. If you get "command not found", install nodejs from here https://nodejs.org/en/ ), then go to the folder where you want to clone this repository (by typing cd 'path_to_folder'), run git clone https://github.com/iam4x/pokemongo-webspoof.git, cd pokemongo-webspoof and npm install
Then proceed to replace the api key in path_to_folder/pokemongo-webspoof/src/config/api.js and save the file.
Then enter npm run build in terminal, and after it finishes, you can find freshly built pokemongo-webspoof.app in pokemongo-webspoof-darwin-x64 folder.

Is that understandable, or are you having trouble with any specific step/s?

Hi, unfortunately Request denied even after replacing with own key. Any suggestions?

[MattyTesar]

Did you build the app after saving the changes and run the new version? Also, make sure you have Maps JavaScript or Embed API key with unrestricted use (you can check here https://console.cloud.google.com/google/maps-apis/overview - open the desired api detail from 'Enabled APIs' and then look to 'Credentials' section)

[CavemanGer]

For some reason the api key was not activated. Resolved this, now it works. Thanks a lot Matty!

Thanks a lot Matty for your Help.
After replacing the API Key and build the app the error Google Maps API error 400 has gone.
But "Request Denied" is still their. Which API ´s has to be activated?
Thank´s

[Blistex1899]

Direction API has also be activated, after that it works fine.

Thanks

[MattyTesar]

Direction API has also be activated, after that it works fine.

You're right, Directions API is quite essential for the autopilot feature. Thanks for pointing that out 👍

I get error messages after these steps:
cd pokemongo-webspoof && npm install
npm run build

macbook-air:~ User$ CD pokemongo-webspoof
macbook-air:~ User$ CD pokemongo-webspoof && npm install
npm WARN saveError ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/xyz/package.json'
npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/xyz/package.json'
npm WARN xyz No description
npm WARN xyz No repository field.
npm WARN xyz No README data
npm WARN xyz No license field.

if i understand the errormessage right its because the package.json file cant be found, but when i look in the pokemongo-webspoof folder its inside. so i copied the file in the root directory (user).. after this the installation "worked" but still with warnings..

After this i searched for the pokemongo-webspoof-darwin-x64, but i cant find it.
i can find a node_modules but no pokemongo.webspoof in it..

isnt it possible to change the API Key in an existing Pokemon Webspoof APP? There should be an api.js file too..

sorry for this nooby questions but im new in MAC..

[MattyTesar]

@megusta63 these npm install warnings aren't really important, if you see node_modules in your pokemongo-webspoof folder then the installation probably worked. Did you run npm run build after that, and if so, do you get any errors there? (make sure you run this from inside the pokemongo-webspoof folder)

[maxpac]

i'm getting npm command not found. Sorry, i'm bad at codings and commands
