I am using Ubuntu 19.04
geoclue version: 0.12.99-4ubuntu2
geoclue2 version: 2.5.2-1ubuntu1
The key used by geoclue in ubuntu to access the mozilla location service appears to be rate limited.
Here's the relevant lines in /etc/geoclue/
# URL to the wifi geolocation service. The key can currenty be anything, just
# needs to be present but that is likely going to change in future.
url=https:/
The comment is wrong, using an invalid key gives a 400 error.
$ curl https:/
{"error"
Using the current key gives a limit reached error
$ curl https:/
{"error"
