SCREENSHOT
There is some closure magic happening when passing the callback argument to the addListener
method. This can be quite a tricky topic if you are not familiar with how closures work. I would suggest checking out the following Mozilla article for a brief introduction if it is the case:
❯ Mozilla Dev Center: Working with Closures
I believe the suggested format is:
House Number, Street Direction, Street Name, Street Suffix, City, State, Zip, Country
The results get less specific the less information you can supply, obviously.
In your sample, the geocoder is searching for a street named 'bloom', of which there are similar matches in OH instead of CT. Removing 'bloom' from the query and then searching returns Bloomfield, CT.

Providing a key is not required for most geocoding API requests. When you do not provide a key, Google will use an IP-based quota to determine when you reach the 2,500-queries daily limit.
Some parameters require a key and will not allow IP-based quota. These are explicitly marked in the documentation with:
Currently, this is only for two parameters in reverse geocoding:
result_type
andlocation_type
.
