Did you enable the Billing for API Key? Google Maps is no longer free. You have to associate a credit card so that you can get billed if your site has requests that exceed the $200 credit they give you monthly for free.
geocode was not successful for the following reason: request_denied
First of all, the problem was loading the scripts as async, remove it..
try that jsfiddle with your API KEY
(function(){
let mapElement = ‘map’;
let address = ‘SPAIN’;
geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
geocoder.geocode({ ‘address’: address }, function (results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 17,
center: results[0].geometry.location,
disableDefaultUI: true
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById(mapElement), mapOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: results[0].geometry.location
});
} else {
alert(“Geocode was not successful for the following reason: ” + status);
}
});
})();
#map {
width: 100%;
height: 350px;
}
