@Sebastien Bacher Just doing an occasional Python GET request to the
same URL others are using:
https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate?key=geoclue
Alternatively, calling that URL in a browser. It works occasionally, but
mostly it just returns a 403. The JSON string:
{"error":{"errors":[{"domain":"usageLimits","reason":"dailyLimitExceeded","message":"You
have exceeded your daily limit."}],"code":403,"message":"You have
exceeded your daily limit."}}

Title:
geoclue mozilla location api key rate limited
Status in geoclue-2.0 package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
I am using Ubuntu 19.04
geoclue version: 0.12.99-4ubuntu2
geoclue2 version: 2.5.2-1ubuntu1
The key used by geoclue in ubuntu to access the mozilla location
service appears to be rate limited.
Here's the relevant lines in /etc/geoclue/geoclue.conf
# URL to the wifi geolocation service. The key can currenty be anything, just
# needs to be present but that is likely going to change in future.
url=https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate?key=geoclue
The comment is wrong, using an invalid key gives a 400 error.
$ curl https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate\?key=random_key
{"error":{"code":400,"message":"Missing or invalid API
key.","errors":[{"domain":"usageLimits","message":"Missing or invalid API
key.","reason":"keyInvalid"}]}}%
Using the current key gives a limit reached error
$ curl https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate\?key=geoclue
{"error":{"code":403,"message":"You have exceeded your daily
limit.","errors":[{"domain":"usageLimits","message":"You have exceeded your
daily limit.","reason":"dailyLimitExceeded"}]}}%
