Error from GeoPy

[dsagman]

Describe the bug
Error from Geopy: Using Nominatim with default or sample user_agent "geopy/2.4.1" is strongly discouraged, as it violates Nominatim's ToS https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/nominatim/ and may possibly cause 403 and 429 HTTP errors.

Error seems to be coming from: /Giveme5W1H/extractor/extractors/environment_extractor.py line 55.

To Reproduce
Fresh install on Mac OS, attempting to run sample code for a single text from the examples directory. Using a virtual env for installing python modules.

Expected behavior
Get 5Ws from sample text.

Log
ConfigurationError: Using Nominatim with default or sample user_agent "geopy/2.4.1" is strongly discouraged, as it violates Nominatim's ToS https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/nominatim/ and may possibly cause 403 and 429 HTTP errors. Please specify a custom user_agent with Nominatim(user_agent="my-application") or by overriding the default user_agent: geopy.geocoders.options.default_user_agent = "my-application".

Versions (please complete the following information):

• OS: Mac OS 14.1.1
• Python 3.11
• GeoPy 2.4.1
• Giveme5W1H 1.10.18
• Stanford CoreNLP NLTK 3.8.1

I'm not technically sure, but for me this seemed to be an issue derived from geopy.

The exactly same error message can be found in here.

I've solved (maybe?) it by changing line 55 of Giveme5W1H.extractor.extractors.environment_extractor.py file as

self.geocoder = Nominatim(domain=host, timeout=8)

into

self.geocoder = Nominatim(domain=host, timeout=8, user_agent='MY_USER_AGENT')

where MY_USER_AGENT is a random string.
