geocode “dsk” rate limit when client and signature parameters are empty

Open smmurphy opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

First, thanks for writing this package! It's extremely useful.

I ran into the error:

Error: google restricts requests to 2500 requests a day for non-business use.

When trying to use 'dsk' as a source on a data table with more than 2,500 rows. I was able to work around this by setting the client and signature parameters to dummy values, but it seems like a pretty simple issue to fix, possibly as simple as adding an if clause, but I'm not sure what future plans you may have. Please see below for additional detail.

This error still appears to be occurring.

The code

geocode(users$location, output = "latlon", source = "dsk")

Returns: "Error: google restricts requests to 2500 requests a day for non-premium use."

(version 2.7)
