Google Geocoder

[zioludo]

Hi all,

I am trying to do a straight forward geocoding task but I keep getting “palladian.extraction.location.geocoder.GeocoderException: Received status code REQUEST_DENIED” error. I did setup the API key and I have setup the billing in my google account…

What’s the issue?
Thanks

Ludo

Hi Ludo,

the most obvious reason would be that the entered API is invalid – please verify this first.

If that doesn’t help, turn on debug logging (preferences → KNIME → KNIME GUI → DEBUG) and check for such a line in the “Console” tab:

DEBUG Google Address Geocoder 0:2        Response = {
   …
}

It should contain more error details. Feel free to get with this information and I’ll try to assist.

Dear Philipp,

Thanks for your prompt reply… and thanks for your amazing work!
To make a long story short i figured out from the console that I had Google Map API enabled with the key and not the geocoding one. Now it works…

Have a great 2020
