Google maps API V2 stopped working

[Craig Blaszczyk]

Hi guys,

Maps API V2 has stopped working for me today, citing a 'bad api key' error:

>>> g = Google()

>>> g.geocode('an address')

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

  File "/home/craig/.virtualenvs/aaa/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/geopy/geocoders/google.py", line 81, in geocode

    return self.geocode_url(url, exactly_one)

  File "/home/craig/.virtualenvs/aaa/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/geopy/geocoders/google.py", line 88, in geocode_url

    return dispatch(page, exactly_one)

  File "/home/craig/.virtualenvs/aaa/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/geopy/geocoders/google.py", line 107, in parse_xml

    self.check_status_code(status_code)

  File "/home/craig/.virtualenvs/aaa/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/geopy/geocoders/google.py", line 168, in check_status_code

    raise GBadKeyError("The api_key is either invalid or does not match the domain for which it was given.")

geopy.geocoders.google.GBadKeyError: The api_key is either invalid or does not match the domain for which it was given.

I've also tried using the my API key (from the Google API Console):

>>> g = Google(api_key='AIzaSyArPsABms_FlecypnwTJZ5qZbacefefcL1E')

>>> g.geocode('an address')

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

    return dispatch(page, exactly_one)

    self.check_status_code(status_code)

    raise GBadKeyError("The api_key is either invalid or does not match the domain for which it was given.")

geopy.geocoders.google.GBadKeyError: The api_key is either invalid or does not match the domain for which it was given.

I've also tried using a domain, with the same results. I'm based in the UK, so I did:

>>> g = Google(api_key='AIzaSyArPsABms_FlecypnwTJZ5qZbacefefcL1E', domain='maps.google.co.uk')

>>> g.geocode('an address')

    return dispatch(page, exactly_one)

    self.check_status_code(status_code)

    raise GBadKeyError("The api_key is either invalid or does not match the domain for which it was given.")

geopy.geocoders.google.GBadKeyError: The api_key is either invalid or does not match the domain for which it was given.

Do you guys have any idea what's causing this?

Same behavior here. It was working yesterday. Today no luck. Anyone has an idea why?

I guess they're phasing v2 out. Happened to me w/ simple http calls (no geopy) last week. As Craig here, I've first tried to generate new keys, but they didnt work.

Hi all,

Looks like despite the claims on
http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com/2013/03/an-update-on-geocoding-api-v2.html
that the API would stick around for another six months, there looks to
be some breakage (possibly due to the URLs used by Geopy).

I've rushed out a version bump that includes a new geocoder at
"geocoders.googlev3.GoogleV3" (old one is "geocoders.google.Google").

https://github.com/geopy/geopy/blob/a1dfe0f072/geopy/geocoders/googlev3.py

Upgrading should be relatively simple if you are just using this for
basic lat/lon functionality.

1. Upgrade to geopy 0.95 ("pip install geopy==0.95" or manually do it:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/geopy/0.95 )
2. Update code to use the new geocoder:

Replace any "Google(...)" geocoder references with "GoogleV3()".
You do not need an API key. (If you are a Google Maps for Business
paid user, you'll need "client_id" and "secret_key" -- please see
http://goo.gl/somDT )
Alternate domain names (i.e. "maps.google.co.uk") may no longer work.

Please report any issues or weirdness at
https://code.google.com/p/geopy/issues/detail?id=34 .
