Q:

How to find nearest point of interest using Google Maps API?

For an application I'm developing, I need to find the nearest bus stops using the Google Maps API. How would I accomplish this?
The place search API just returns REQUEST_DENIED, so that isn't much help.

A:

I suspect that REQUEST_DENIED gives you a clue that your query is well-formed, but there is something invalid. If it's not the lack of the sensor parameter, it must be the key you provided. I don't have a key myself to test it, and Google refuses to give it saying the URL I provided is invalid... I can only suggest you to double-check your key, and maybe try with another account.
EDIT: Now I've managed to get my key and found your mistake: you forgot to put https, not http, in your request.
