php get latitude from address without api key

I have function that get address and return latitude and longitude.

The problem is that after a while i'm getting 0.00000 for both lat & lng. I guess that i need to add "&key=API_KEY" to the url, and if i got it right it's cost money.

Is there any other way to get address lat & lng ?

function get_address_lat_lng ($address)


$prepAddr = str_replace(' ','+',$address);

$geocode=file_get_contents('https://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address='.urlencode($prepAddr).'&sensor=false');

$output= json_decode($geocode);

$lat = $output->results[0]->geometry->location->lat;
$lng = $output->results[0]->geometry->location->lng;

return (array('lat' => $lat, 'lng' => $lng) );

console.log('User's Location Data is ', response);
console.log('User's Country ', response.country);

ipLookUp()


Check your console logs on browsers but this is based on IP of client.
