Google Maps API Referer 403 Error

Question

My website uses the Google maps API (3.0) in a very heavy way. I had to register my application with Google APIs Console. In the "referers" section I put `*.websitename.com/*` (there is `*` at the start and at the end), but when I try to access maps from `http://websitename.com` it doesn't work and appear, and a Google message appears in the console saying it's unauthorized from this referrer (403 Error). How can I write the "referers" to allow both `http://www.websitename.com` and `http://websitename.com` as referers?

Accepted Answer

There is no single pattern that matches both cases, you must use 2 referers

```
*.websitename.com/*
websitename.com/*
```

EDIT : Keep in mind that sometimes it needs 5 minutes for changes to take effect.
