PyGeocoder with API Key

Question

I am using PyGeocoder

https://bitbucket.org/xster/pygeocoder/wiki/Home

I have created an API key with the simple server option, this does not present me with a CLIENT_ID option.

So I have the code:

from pygeocoder import Geocoder
business_geocoder = Geocoder(None, 'MY_API_KEY')
address_string = "London, United Kingdom"
results = business_geocoder.geocode(address_string)

This works fine, but my quote usage is not being reported in the admin console window, and I can change my API_key to any value and it still works. Is anyone else using this feature and if so how did you implement?

E.g. this code works

business_geocoder = Geocoder(client_id=None, private_key='whatever')

This code, gives an error:

business_geocoder = Geocoder(client_id="some", private_key='whatever')

pygeolib.GeocoderError: Error Forbidden, 403

Google documentation seems to indicate that the Simple API key authentication method is not supported with Geocoding APIs but they still work somehow.

I just updated version 1.2.3 of pygeocoder so you should be able to just do

Geocoder('YOUR_API_KEY').geocode(...

after you upgrade your module

pip install --upgrade pygeocoder
