Google Maps API requires API token

[iancward]

I've been getting a lot of "Couldn't find " errors from this integration lately, and when I went to go investigate it, it appears that Google no longer allows to their maps API without an access key, as I received this warning when running the google maps query manually:

{
   "error_message" : "Keyless access to Google Maps Platform is deprecated. Please use an API key with all your API calls to avoid service interruption. For further details please refer to http://g.co/dev/maps-no-account",
   "results" : [],
   "status" : "OVER_QUERY_LIMIT"
}

I think #4 may fix this.

I know this repo is pretty dead but I needed it to showcase some things hubot could do. Was going to use google but they charge. If anyone in the future needs a free service, mapquest worked well enough for the 5 minutes I needed it for:

mapquest_key = process.env.HUBOT_MAPQUEST_KEY || ''
mapquest_secret = process.env.HUBOT_MAPQUEST_SECRET || ''
mapquest_url = "http://open.mapquestapi.com/geocoding/v1/address"
q = location: location, key: mapquest_key
msg.http(mapquest_url)
  .query(q)
  .get() (err, res, body) ->
    result = JSON.parse(body)
    if result.results.length > 0
      lat = result.results[0].locations[0].latLng.lat
      lng = result.results[0].locations[0].latLng.lng
      lookupWeatherAndRespond msg, lat, lng, options.separator, location
    else
      msg.send "Couldn't find #{location}"
      console.log("hubot-darksky google geocoding result: " + JSON.stringify(result))

Thanks for the reply. I was able to take your code and manipulate it for what I needed. It was very helpful.

        if result.results.length > 0
          lat = result.results[0].locations[0].latLng.lat
          lng = result.results[0].locations[0].latLng.lng
          if result.results[0].locations[0].adminArea5 == ""
            retcity = ""
          else
            retcity = "#{result.results[0].locations[0].adminArea5}, "
          if result.results[0].locations[0].adminArea3 == ""
            retstate = ""
          else
            retstate = "#{result.results[0].locations[0].adminArea3}, "
          if result.results[0].locations[0].postalCode == ""
            retzip = ""
          else
            retzip = "#{result.results[0].locations[0].postalCode}, "
          if result.results[0].locations[0].adminArea1 == ""
            retcountry = ""
          else
            retcountry = result.results[0].locations[0].adminArea1
          darkSkyMe msg, lat,lng , options.separator, (darkSkyText) ->
            response = "Weather for #{retcity}#{retstate}#{retzip}#{retcountry}#{options.separator}#{darkSkyText}"
              .replace /-?(\d+\.?\d*)°C/g, (match) ->
                centigrade = match.replace /°C/, ''
                match = Math.round(centigrade*10)/10 + '°C/' + Math.round(centigrade * (9/5) + parseInt(32, 10)) + '°F'
            response += "#{options.separator}"
            msg.send response
        else
          msg.send "Couldn't find #{location}"
