I have been struggling a lot to fix an issue related with Google distance matrix API call. Please the below code which I use to calculated distance between two calls. It work perfectly fine in localhost and one website hosted in Hostgator.

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=Seattle&destinations=San+Francisco&key=YOUR_API_KEY

$details = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?units=imperial&origins=95864&destinations=91367&key=<API_KEY>' ; 
 
$json = file_get_contents($details);
 	$details = json_decode($json, TRUE); 

 	$distanceinmiles  =  ( $details['rows'][0]['elements'][0]['distance']['value'] * 0.000621371);  

 	if($distanceinmiles > 0)
 	echo "Distance: " . $distanceinmiles  ;
else
	echo "Bad request";

is to be replaced with original API key.

The same code works in http://egressacademy.in/distance.php and shows the distance properly.

However, when the code is checked from another website from Enom hosting provider it failed.

I have also added Key restriction in Google API console for both server IP addresses.

Can anyone please advise how to fix this issues?

Have you listed your domain in your Google account? Requests from the domains which you had registered with API key are only considered as valid - Coder
Hi. Yes, I have listed server IP addresses. Both servers IP addresses for the two website. The one hosted in enom is not working while the other hosted in hostgator works fine. - HeroCode
Not the IP address but I am asking about the domain? - Coder
There are also API keys which are specific to domain. Share some knowledge about your API key as well - Coder
Hi. Thanks for your response. I have setup the distance calculator form here at egressacademy.in/distance-calculator.php. It work perfectly fine. But when I use this code in another different domain by Enom, it failed. - HeroCode

Its problem with you php apache server. You have to enable 

allow_url_fopen = on

enable it then it will work again.
