javascript - The Google Maps API server rejected your request

Question

I m working on an application which renders google maps on an image as below

<img alt="Google Maps (Scotland)" src="http://maps.google.com/staticmap?size=480x200&amp;maptype=mobile&amp;markers=55.9368450758,-3.03604939504,reda|55.9454374538,-3.18124534297,redb&amp;key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx">

The map is not getting rendered and when I right click on the source of image and click the url, I get the following message

"The Google Maps API server rejected your request. This site or IP is not authorized to use this API key."

I have checked the API Access on https://code.google.com/apis/console the API key seems to be all correct. Just wondering how to fix the site and IP bit?

See below the settings in google API console

Make sure you have enabled "Static Maps API" service in addition to "Google Maps API".
