I am trying to geocode addresses on Google Maps using the google_geocode function from the googleway package in R. I am using a key obtained from Google that allows me to overcome the 2500 / day limit (and charge a fee for this). I have different types of problems, mainly due to the way the addresses that I use are written, but there is one problem I would like to ask here: how is it possible that sometimes I do not receive any requests using googe_geocode, but if am I typing the same address bar at http://www.google.com/maps/ returns the result?
My example:
address="AVENDAÑO, 30-32 VITORIA-GASTEIZ 01008, ES"
google_geocode(address=address,key=mykey)
$results
list()
$status
[1] "ZERO_RESULTS"
But if you look for the exact same address bar in Google Maps, I get the right place (showing that it is Abendaño Kalea in Vitoria, Spain):
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Abenda%C3%B1o+Kalea,+30,+01008+Vitoria-Gasteiz,+Araba/@42.8451894,-2.6855022,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0xd4fc213d775d83d:0xc2a5f2ffa8721c2a!8m2!3d42.8451855!4d-2.6833135
