Is this still working as designed? I reinstalled my magicmirror recently, and when I went to get this module working, it pointed me to get an API key at https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key which no longer appears to be free?

This is all I had for my config previously, so I can’t find if/what my key previously was:

   {
      module: 'MMM-MyCommute',
      position: 'top_left',
      header: 'Commute Times',
      classes: 'default everyone', 
      config: {
    travelTimeFormat: "h[h] m[m]"
      }
    },

I don’t know how it even was working since it doesn’t have the API key, but it definitely was working fine for months.

so i need to pay for the google API or why do they want to know my creditcard or bankaccount…?

@kecko Google changed the rules. As long as you are under a certain number of request, the. It’s still free. But if you go above that then you’ll automatically be billed. It used to be that you’d just get cut off at the threshold. I don’t remember exactly what the threshold is but I’m sure a quick search will turn it up.

Hi, thanks for the Module but i have a Problem with.
I have add 4 Stations and sometime the Modul works for 2 Stations.
But after 10 min i got a red Error on the working stations.

Whats the Problem?

Thanks.

@Kecko @j-e-f-f

Each To->From request costs 1 transaction query. In my case, I have 3 copies of the module, with 3, 2, and 1 lookup respectively, giving me 6 queries every time the module refreshes (which is every 10 minutes).

Note that Google gives $200 free credits per month for the Developer API’s. See this link for more details

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/usage-and-billing

If I’m reading it right, then based on the above you’d need to have 20,000 queries per month to exceed the free credits. Based on my usage, I’ll have around 26,000 per month (36 queries per hour * 24 hours * 30 days), so I’ll probably reduce the number of queries to get under the limit.

I think i have a problem with the API.

What is the error code for it ? If it’s 403, then check your login credentials.

Also what does “pm2 log” show from the command prompt ? That can give some indication of the issue.

I got the 403 error. I need to logon on the Pi? for the Module ?

I dont understand that i got error 403 and 200 on same time.
First way is error 403
Second way is 200 and its show me the Data.
