Hi @hwchen2009

After some debugging and searching, I found out that Google has changed their pricing plan, which restricts free usage of their StreetView API:

Unfortunately, this means that you will need a billing plan to be able to download images (this was not the case when I developed this package).

You can however still request for metadata for free (which is why the preview still works).
