google traffic times
I followed these steps from the webpage

Navigate into your MagicMirror’s ~/MagicMirror/modules folder
execute git clone https://github.com/pjestico/MMM-GoogleTrafficTimes.git
A new folder will be created, please navigate into it. Run npm install in ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleTrafficTimes

{
module: ‘MMM-GoogleTrafficTimes’,
position: ‘top_left’,
config: {
key: ‘my google API’,
origin: ‘my personal address straight from google’,
destination1: ‘Work:my work address straight from google’,
AvoidHighways: false,
AvoidTolls: false,
},

now this exutes fine, but nothing appears???

@gr1dl0ck and u enabled all three apis under the same api key

from the doc

You will need to enable the following APIs for your key, Maps JavaScript API, Geocoding API, Distance Matrix API.

it was the billing set up preventing it all, i enabled it read its free up to a certain amount of searches, just need to read into it a bit more to see how many times you can use it per month etc without incurring a cost
