Error 502 with OpenStreetMap Geocoding

Geographic Information Systems Asked by Gavin on January 24, 2021

I’m a fairly new user to QGIS. I’ve used OpenStreetMap to geocode small data sets (30-ish points) with no problems. Now I’m trying to plot 1100 points. I’ve loaded up a basemap and a polygon layer, formatted my CSV with location data (address, city, state), but when I try to use the ‘Web Service Geocode’ tool as I have in the past (see below image), I get the following error:
Failure connecting to API: HTTP Error 502: Bad Gateway

I was under the impression I didn’t need an API key for OSM, but maybe I’m wrong?

If you are using Nominatim (as it seems that you are), its usage policy applies, mentioning things like "an absolute maximum of 1 request per second".
