Enabling API key handling (MissingKeyMapError)

See original GitHub issue

It looks like Google Maps no longer allows key-less API access as of yesterday June 22th. This will probably require to enable passing an API key to gmplot. Currently using gmplot fails with MissingKeyMapError.

Merged api key branch. Reopen if the issue is still present. fwiw, I’ve been using api-less plotting since this ticket was opened without issue. I understand the notebooks may be a bit different.

In case anybody encounters the same problem, here is the workaround i’ve been using for Jupyter / IPython.

from IPython.display import IFrame

def jupyter_display(gmplot_filename, google_api_key):
    """Hack to display a gmplot map in Jupyter"""
    with open(gmplot_filename, "r+b") as f:
        f_string = f.read()
        url_pattern = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?libraries=visualization&sensor=true_or_false"
        f_string = f_string.replace(url_pattern, url_pattern + "&key=%s" % google_api_key)
        f.write(f_string)
    return IFrame(gmplot_filename, width=990, height=500)
