CURL ERROR NO 7 Issue occur in two cases : 1. Your server blocked port for security reasons. so you can ask to your server provider to enable it and server provider enabled to you. 2. Api provider does not accept different domain or some security or protected.

In your case Google disabled the service or pass credentials.

also use javascript library or google sdk.
