appId, apiKey sent over query parameter

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

I’m seeing 403 responses from the places widget:

{
    "message": "Invalid Application-ID or API key",
    "status": 403
}

I’ve made sure that the API key and app ID are valid. After looking into the developer tools, I see that it sends the api key and app ID parameters not as HTTP headers (as specified in the docs of the JS SDK), but as query parameters.

~Hi @CHH, you need to create a specific places account: https://www.algolia.com/users/sign_up/places~

~Right now you created an Algolia account. Sorry if that’s not obvious (it’s not). Thanks for trying places!~

~Reopen the issue if needed.~

EDIT: sign ups for Algolia Places have been disabled as the feature is being sunset on May 31st 2022. It is not possible anymore to create places applications.

Hi, I can confirm it was definitely not obvious that it is needed to create a specific places account 😃
