Mapquest has made changes to their API for Open Data

Open Tzarnal opened this issue 10 years ago • 6 comments

Due to changes made by mapquest to their licensing structure and API the mapquest geocoding is currently broken. Requests run into a key unauthorized for request page.

See here for information on the license change: http://devblog.mapquest.com/2014/11/17/are-you-a-community-edition-licensed-data-user/

Since no response is forthcoming I'm just going to add that you can force the mapquest geocoder to use the open data api manually which is a fine solution for now.

UseOSM = true;

Thanks for reporting this and the workaround. I haven't had time to look into the changes to their API yet. If some kind soul would like to send a pull request to fix it, I would be grateful.

I will attempt to fix this since I was the original contributor for OSM & MapQuest :) haven't had the need to use this lib in a while. Hopefully I get sometimes in the next week or so.

Could you describe the problem? It seems to me that MapQuest Commercial Api working fine, but not OSM. I've set UseOSM = true and got 4 tests failed, when MapQuest Commercial Api passed them (Just got an API Key with Free Plan).

Is this issue relevant with version 4.0.0?

I've tested geocoding with MapQuest's API today and it seems to work. However, I filed an issue with not getting correct results when using non-ASCII characters.
