Google API directions doesn't work at all with GPT assistant

Question

I'm a low experience user so be patient with me please. I'm trying to create a GPT assistant to help me in my work and I need it to have access to Google Direction API to calculate distance between point A and B (I work in a logistic company).

So I've created my code (using a GPT Action Assistant) to access to the API:

      operationId: getDirectionsFromIncubatoioToDestination
      summary: Get driving directions from Forlì to a specified destination.
      parameters:

          required: true

        - name: origin

          required: true
          description: Fixed origin address (Forlì).
          schema:

            default: Forlì
        - name: key

          required: true

            type: string
            default: YOUR_ACTUAL_API_KEY
      responses:

          description: Successful response with directions.

                  routes:

                    items:

                      properties:
                        summary:
                          type: string
                        legs:
                          type: array
                          items:
                            type: object
                            properties:
                              distance:

                                    type: string
                                  value:
                                    type: integer
                              duration:
                                type: object
                                properties:
                                  text:
                                    type: string
                                  value:
                                    type: integer
                              end_address:
                                type: string
                              start_address:
                                type: string
                              steps:
                                type: array
                                items:
                                  type: object

After that I went to Google Cloud and create my project. In the dashboard I've went to API and Libraries, clicked on DirectionAPI and enabled it.

The first weird part occurs after that. When I go back to my API and Services view in the console I find the DirectionAPI DISABLED and if I click to Enable it, it enables but in the notification bell it says it's disabled (no idea why!????) I create my APIKey and go back to GPT.

I paste my key into the authentication area of the GPT Builder and if I test it I get this error:

  "domain": "maps.googleapis.com",
  "method": "get",
  "path": "/json",
  "operation": "getDirectionsFromIncubatoioToDestination",

    "key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
  }
}

  "status_code": 200,
  "action_id": "g-b95e704cd746d14f88df8964141c60edf3412748"
}

I've tried some help from Gemini but was pointless, tried some help with GPT itself but everything tells me back to check my API key and to see if the service is enabled.

But here the service is enabled:

While here in italian it's says that the service is disabled

I have no idea what to do next. Thank you for every help provided.

Edit: Sorry I forgot to add that I've replaced YOUR_ACTUAL_API_KEY with my APIkey Aizaxxxx...

Answer 1

If the box says 'ENABLE' is it disabled, if the box says 'DISABLE' it is enabled.

Try clicking the box until it says 'DISABLE'

ENABLE is imperative

ENABLED is a state.

Try the above.
