[Google Maps] API access denied

[ghost]

My code:

<?php
require_once('vendor/autoload.php');
ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
use GuzzleHttp\Client as GuzzleClient;
use Geocoder\Provider\GoogleMaps;
use Http\Adapter\Guzzle6\Client;
use Geocoder\Query\GeocodeQuery;

$httpClient = new \Http\Adapter\Guzzle6\Client();
$provider = new \Geocoder\Provider\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps($httpClient,$key ='AIzaSyBbiute7hwz_ESi3U75ETeRwgnjfceZm3s');
$geocoder = new \Geocoder\StatefulGeocoder($provider, 'en');
$result = $geocoder->geocodeQuery(GeocodeQuery::create('5 Place des Palais 1000 Bruxelles'));
$query = GeocodeQuery::create('5 Place des Palais 1000 Bruxelles')
    ->withData('streetNumber', '5')
    ->withData('streetName', 'Place des Palais')
    ->withData('postalCode', '1000')
    ->withData('locality', 'Bruxelles');
$results = $geocoder->geocodeQuery($query);
  ?>

the error thrown by the API: Uncaught Geocoder\Exception\InvalidServerResponse: API access denied. Request: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=5%20Place%20des%20Palais%201000%20Bruxelles&language=en&region=AIzaSyBbiute7hwz_ESi3U75ETeRwgnjfceZm3s - Message: You must use an API key to authenticate each request to Google Maps Platform APIs. For additional information, please refer to http://g.co/dev/maps-no-account

I tried passing the API key as a parameter but it isn't working.

I fixed it by doing the following:

<?php
require_once('vendor/autoload.php');
ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
use GuzzleHttp\Client as GuzzleClient;
use Geocoder\Provider\GoogleMaps;
use Http\Adapter\Guzzle6\Client;
use Geocoder\Query\GeocodeQuery;

$apikey = 'AIzaSyBbiute7hwz_ESi3U75ETeRwgnjfceZm3s';

$httpClient = new \Http\Adapter\Guzzle6\Client();
$provider = new \Geocoder\Provider\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps($httpClient, 'Brazil', $apikey);
$geocoder = new \Geocoder\StatefulGeocoder($provider, 'en');
$result = $geocoder->geocodeQuery(GeocodeQuery::create('240, Rua Clóvis da Fonseca'));
var_export($result);

  ?>

This is not a correct way to pass parameters to a function in PHP.

$provider = new \Geocoder\Provider\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps($httpClient,$key ='AIzaSyBbiute7hwz_ESi3U75ETeRwgnjfceZm3s');

This is the correct way:

$provider = new \Geocoder\Provider\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps($httpClient, 'AIzaSyBbiute7hwz_ESi3U75ETeRwgnjfceZm3s');

Other remark : I suggest you generate a new API key because everyone knows your API key. Don't publish secret API keys !

Thanks @jbelien, I know, i was in despair because I will use the project in our map display, on my job, I will change the key.
