Ruby Geocoder for google business

Im using the Geocoder gem for ruby. With V2 of the google maps API for business you could pass in your API key in config/initializers/geocoder.rb in V3 of the API they no longer give you an API key but rather a client-id which is basically a cryptographic key that you use to create a signature for the url. Since I cannot obtain an API Key I dont quite know how to do the latter. Has anyone ran into this problem? If so could you please point me in a direction other than googles documentation.

The following config should work(Replace with your own information):

# -*- encoding : utf-8 -*-
Geocoder.configure do |config|
  config.lookup = :google_premier
  config.api_key = [ 'GOOGLE_CRYPTO_KEY', 'GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID', 'GOOGLE_CHANNEL' ]
  config.timeout = 10
  config.units = :km
end
