πŸ”₯ Google Maps in Watsonx Assistant – Access Denied?!

  • 1.  πŸ”₯ Google Maps in Watsonx Assistant – Access Denied?!

    Posted Thu April 03, 2025 08:48 AM

    Hi Team,

    I'm building a chatbot with Watsonx Assistant and trying to embed Google Maps using an iframe. Here's what I'm using:

    <iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/place?key=MY_API_KEY&q=Eiffel+Tower,Paris+France"></iframe>
    

    But instead of seeing a beautiful map, I get this:

    Access Denied  
    You don't have permission to access "http://au-syd.assistant.watson.cloud.ibm.com...." on this server.
    

    🚫 Access Denied
    "You don't have permission to access..."

    It looks like Watsonx Assistant might be blocking the iframe due to security policies or embedding restrictions.

    Has anyone managed to get Google Maps working inside a Watsonx chatbot? Is there a workaround to allow external iframes?

    Appreciate any insights! πŸš€

    Best,
