For 2 days now I have been getting the following for geocoding
requests:

{
"status": "REQUEST_DENIED",
"results": [ ]
}

I am aware of the per day limit of 2500 requests, and I was very
careful not to break that. We are requesting 5 geolocation requests
every 5 minutes. This should total 1440 requests daily.

It should be said that the same request from different ip's work fine.

Hard to say without more information. If you are geocoding on the
host (are you?), perhaps you are on a shared host (like rackspace) and
another domain on the same server started making geocoder requests.

There are no more requests from this ip.

IP is 69.164.206.247 if someone from google can tell me why.

Are you sure you've got sensor=false at the end of your url? That is
occasionally a cause of "Request Denied."

As stated in the original post, the request works from other IP's.

sensor=false is at the end of the url.

Hi Andrew,

Can you give a sample URL which fails?

According to our logs, over the past 2 days 69.164.206.247 has issued
656 successful geocode requests and 4 denied requests, which were
denied because they lacked a sensor parameter.

Thanks
Ben
