HTTP firbidden error about mapsplotlib HOT 5 CLOSED

well, this might be related to when you use mplt.plot_markers(new_df), you use requests.get() to call a url that contains your api key. See my issue (#12) for details. I re-opened the issue because I think it might be a reoccurring problem.

I was able to sidestep the problem by individually calling the img for the map itself.

from mapsplotlib.

As I described in #12 this is happening if you have not set up billing details for your account in the developer console (first 300$ are free). Adding this should fix it!

Try this code out to get the image.

def get_img(country, zoom, size, scale, maptype):
    # url variable store url
    url  = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?'
    url += 'center={}&'.format(country)
    url += 'zoom={}&'.format(zoom)
    url += 'scale={}&'.format(scale)
    url += 'size={}x{}&'.format(size, size)
    url += 'maptype={}&'.format(maptype)
    
    r = requests.get(url)
    img = Image.open(StringIO((r.content)))
    
    return img

get_img(country = 'United States', zoom = 4, size = 640, scale = 1, maptype = 'hybrid')

You would have to do something like this to figure out what's going on.

import inspect

print(inspect.getsource(mplt.plot_markers))
