RefererNotAllowedMapError Google Map API

Question

Yesterday I tried to put a GoogleMap on a website (javascript), but I am still getting the Google Maps API error: RefererNotAllowedMapError.

The following steps I have taken:

Created credentials for this website (request an APi Key and add referrer in the API Manager. Accepted request from these HTTP referres is set to *.thewebsitedomein.nl/*)
Verify the domain of the website (added a CNAME record in the DNS record)

But I am still getting this RefererNotAllowedMapError.

Regenerating a new key didn't help, can someone please help me? Is there something I forgot to do?

Thanks! AHF

After adding a new CNAME record (without the www) in the DNS and verifying the website again, the Google map is displayed without javascript errors.

CNAME for apex of a domain is not a good idea: https://serverfault.com/questions/613829/why-cant-a-cname-record-be-used-at-the-apex-aka-root-of-a-domain. It can break your email for example. – Milan Krstic Feb 27 '19 at 21:09

From the Google Maps Error Messages documentation itself,

RefererNotAllowedMapError means that the current URL loading the Google Maps JavaScript API has not been added to the list of allowed referrers. Please check the referrer settings of your API key on the Google API Console.
