Google geocoder throwing MissingKeyMapError on one page but not another

Question

I have two websites that do essentially the same thing - take addresses and put them in a database. Both websites seem to have the same code. But one page throws the MissingKeyMapError and the other doesn't. I don't see much difference between the two. Can anyone help please?

First website jquery:

var latlong = [];
//addresses is a long array made up of addresses such as
//"1056 BRUSHTON AVE, Pittsburgh"
var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
$(document).ready(function() {
    var count = 23963; //the record number in the database
    setInterval(function(){
        if (addresses.length > 0) {
            for (var i=0; i< 11; i++) { //limit of 11 at a time so don't overwhelm API
                var address = addresses[i];
                count++;
                locate(address, count);
            }
            addresses.splice(0, 11); //go to the next 11 addresses
        } else {
            clearInterval();
        }
    }, 30000);
});

function locate(address, count) {
    geocoder.geocode( { 'address': address}, function(results, status) {

      if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
        var lat = results[0].geometry.location.lat();
        var lng = results[0].geometry.location.lng();
        $.post('php/push_latlng.php', {address: address, lat: lat, lng: lng, count:count },function(){
               //put it in the database
        });
      }

    }); 
}

Second website jquery:

var latlong = [];
var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
$(document).ready(function() {
    $.post('php/get_address.php', function(addresses){
    //get addresses out of the database and turn them into json             
    var obj = jQuery.parseJSON( addresses );
            //addresses are in the format "1800 Mulberry St, Scranton, PA"
            for (var i = 0; i< 2; i++) { //arbitrary small number
                var medID = obj[i].medID;
                var address = obj[i].address;
                locate(address, medID);
            }
    });

});
function locate(address, medID) {
    geocoder.geocode( { 'address': address}, function(results, status) {
        });
}

The second page throws this error: js?sensor=false:32 Google Maps API error: MissingKeyMapError https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#missing-key-map-error

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I have both these sites now in the same directory - same error. — LauraNMS, Jul 08 '16 at 15:32

Keys are now required. Sites that were active before June 22, 2016 without keys are "grandfathered" and will continue to work without keys (at least for now). New sites will require a key.

I was thrown off by having two pages in the same directory - one threw the error and one didn't. Thank you! – LauraNMS Jul 08 '16 at 16:56

Have you created one of your pages (or run the maps code on it) prior to June 22, 2016, and one after that date? It could be related to that. – EmanueleF Jul 12 '16 at 04:58

@Danery: Yes, one site was pre-June 22 and one was after. – LauraNMS Jul 12 '16 at 13:36
