Without API Key, you're requests credits per day will be very limited. In order to use the API key in each of your requests, you must first activate the Google Maps API and obtain the authentication credentials for it.
Log in to your Google account, go to the API console, activate the 'Google Maps Geocoding API' and get an 'API_KEY'.
Then you can use this key in the url every time you send a request to the api in this way,
//maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=$latitude,$longitude&key=API_KEY;
Please note that the sensor param is deprecated in the latest versions of the API. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to attach it with the request URL.
