Fix Google CSE 403 Error
Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR
I keep running into a PERMISSION_DENIED (403) response that says “This project does not have access to Custom Search JSON API.” At the moment I do not have a Google Cloud project or a Programmable Search Engine configured, so I need you to start from scratch, enable everything correctly, and prove the endpoint is working.
What I need you to do
• Create a fresh Google Cloud project, enable the Custom Search JSON API and generate an unrestricted-for-testing API key.
• Build a new Programmable Search Engine, obtain the cx ID, and wire it to the key so queries return results without quota or auth errors.
• Apply sensible key restrictions once everything is verified (HTTP referrers or IP, whichever is best practice).
• Provide a short, clear write-up of each step you performed so I can reproduce it later.
Acceptance criteria
• Calling https://customsearch.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1 with my eventual key and cx returns a valid JSON payload (no 403s).
• The document you hand over lists console URLs, settings changed, and any quotas or billing switches you touched.
Mention your past Google API or Cloud IAM experience in the proposal so I can gauge fit. The job should be quick for someone who has solved this exact issue before.
