Hello, The function osm_geocode always return me an error with this messages: "Please provide a openstreet API key". Where can I get a openstreet API key? Thanks,

The README for this repository has a link to the nominatim service where you can request an API key. http://open.mapquestapi.com/nominatim/

It would indeed be useful to mention in the documentation

that you need an API key
how you can get an API key (I found it in the help files: https://developer.mapquest.com)
How you can store the API key: e.g. I've used this code:

R.utils::setOption("OSM_API_KEY", "yourkey")

The comment by LennertSchepers should really be in the documentation. Was easier than searching through http://open.mapquestapi.com/nominatim/ for the answer.
