The Street View Static API may issue an error or warning when something goes wrong. This guide explains each error message, and provides further instructions for resolving errors.
Invalid requests
In the case of an invalid request, the Street View Static API returns
an HTTP 4xx status code and a message describing the
problem. Below are examples of such error conditions. Note: This is not
a complete list of the possible errors. Please check the actual error code
and message returned by the API for details of specific problems.
| Example of error condition | Status code |
|---|---|
The request includes an invalid parameter, or a required parameter is
missing. For example, the size parameter is not within the
expected range of numeric values, or is missing from the request. |
400 BAD REQUEST |
| The API key included in the request is invalid. | 403 FORBIDDEN |
Errors that prevent a street view image from being displayed
If the request is valid, but another error occurs that prevents the street view image from
being displayed, the Street View Static API returns either text or an error
image instead of the street view image, depending on the error. An example of such an error
condition is when the application exceeds its
usage limits.
Errors related to API keys and billing
If you use the Street View Static API without an API key, or if billing is not enabled on your account, the page displays an error image instead of a street view image, with a link indicating the type of error. For example "g.co/streetviewerror/key".
