The link to sign up and generate a Mapzen API key doesn't work #55

The how-to guide states that you need an API key to configure the whosonfirst import. The sign-up link doesn't work right now. I am aware that Mapzen is shutting down its services. :-( So how will this be handled as from now on?

I ask because it seems necessary to use an API key in pelias.json:

    "whosonfirst": {
      "datapath": "/data/whosonfirst",
      "importVenues": false,
      "importPostalcodes": true,
      "importPlace": "101715829",
      "api_key": "your-api-key"
    },

Hey @jengeb, We no longer require the api_key parameter. We've built functionality into Pelias to replace what was previously handled by a Mapzen API. If you try the dockerfiles setup again (simply running./build.sh should be enough, as it will download updated images), it should now work.

Let me know how it goes!
