The app returns a 500 error

When I attempt a location search on the weather app , It returns the following message.

HTTP Status 500 - Request processing failed; nested exception is org.springframework.web.client.ResourceAccessException: I/O error on GET request for "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Chicago&sensor=false&key=AIzaSyDwWmtflOJ9VPNFFnALlNxvB41oA5fbt70": Connect to maps.googleapis.com:443 [maps.googleapis.com/216.58.200.234, maps.googleapis.com/172.217.24.10, maps.googleapis.com/172.217.27.138, maps.googleapis.com/216.58.200.42] failed: connect timed out; nested exception is org.apache.http.conn.ConnectTimeoutException: Connect to maps.googleapis.com:443 [maps.googleapis.com/216.58.200.234, maps.googleapis.com/172.217.24.10, maps.googleapis.com/172.217.27.138, maps.googleapis.com/216.58.200.42] failed: connect timed out

I've provided my my API keys to the 3rd Party API requests. Can someone please take a look at this problem?

Hi, I might be a probably late, but I faced the same problem right know and I think I managed to solve it by editing the value of geocode.api.region value in the api.propierties file. In the video, the code is US, but since I am from Argentina I used AR and it started to work. Not a 100% sure that that is your problem, but you can give it a try.

# Google Geocoding API
geocode.api.name = Google Geocode API
geocode.api.key = YOUR_KEY
geocode.api.host = maps.googleapis.com
geocode.api.region = AR
