Python / Google Maps API - TimeoutError: [Errno 60] Operation timed out when calling a function from the terminal

问题

I'm calling a function from my terminal, which connects to the Google Maps API to return the coordinates of a place.

However, I'm getting this error

sock.connect((self.host, self.port))
TimeoutError: [Errno 60] Operation timed out

The process is as follows:

>>>> python
>>>> from geocode import getGeocodeLocation
>>>> getGeocodeLocation("New York")

Error:

sock.connect((self.host, self.port))
TimeoutError: [Errno 60] Operation timed out

The code I'm using is as follows geocode.py - I don't think there a problem with this as it ran fine before.

import httplib2
import json

def getGeocodeLocation(inputString):
    # Use Google Maps to convert a location into Latitute/Longitute coordinates

    google_api_key = "my_api_key"
    locationString = inputString.replace(" ", "+")
    url = ('https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=%s&key=%s'% (locationString, google_api_key))
    h = httplib2.Http()
    result = json.loads(h.request(url,'GET')[1])
    latitude = result['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lat']
    longitude = result['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lng']
    return (latitude,longitude)

Any ideas what might be wrong?

I get (40.7127753, -74.0059728) as output when I run your exact code (with my own key) on RStudio Cloud. So this is likely an API key-related, environment-related or network-related issue.

To narrow down the issue I recommend you try it out on the same platform. These is how I set it up:

geocode.py

import httplib2
import json

def getGeocodeLocation(inputString):
    # Use Google Maps to convert a location into Latitute/Longitute coordinates

    google_api_key = "MY_API_KEY"
    locationString = inputString.replace(" ", "+")
    url = ('https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=%s&key=%s'% (locationString, google_api_key))
    h = httplib2.Http()
    result = json.loads(h.request(url,'GET')[1])
    latitude = result['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lat']
    longitude = result['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lng']
    return (latitude,longitude)

main.py

from geocode import getGeocodeLocation
getGeocodeLocation("New York")

Also make sure that your API key is valid and that you have billing and Geocoding API enabled on your project. Refer to Google's get started guide.

Hope this helps you!
