Google's geocoding API with a service account

I wanted to make requests to Google's geocoding API using a service account authentication/authorization instead of the regular API key. However I found no example of such implementation or any indication that it is even possible. I also didn't find anything saying it is not, therefore this question: does anyone know if it's possible and how to do it?



My last attempt ended up with this error:




{
"error": "invalid_scope",
"error_description": "Empty or missing scope not allowed."
}



which makes sense, since I could not find the right scope.

  • As far as I know Google Maps web services don't support authentication with service accounts. The only supported methods are API keys or client ID with digital signature in Premium plan.
