I just installed this plugin, and there appears to be an API issue with the response parsing:

Ambient is having problems. I see them everyday several times a day...

Most likely, it's an error in the results sent by Ambient.  You can check that by taking the URL where you redacted the key and cut and pasting that into a browser tab/window.  

If you just generated the key, it may take some time before Ambient actually activates the key and it works.

It was exactly that.  Might want to update your documentation saying that Ambient can take a long time to activate the API Key.  In my case I played with it for almost an hour and it didn't work.  This morning I restarted the service in Polyglot and it all came through immediately.
