I can't find any information on rate limiting with the Google Books API. I'm interested in doing ~300K total ISBN queries to retrieve lists of book categories, and I want to throttle my requests to stay under their limit. I have a developer API key, but not OAuth. Does anyone know what the rate limits are for the Google Books API, or at least have a ballpark?

Number of requests per day per project: 50,000. Number of requests per view (profile) per day: 10,000 (cannot be increased) Number of requests per 100 seconds per project: 2,000. Number of requests per 100 seconds per user per project: 100 (can be increased in Google API Console to 1,000).
In the API Console, there is a similar quota referred to as Requests per 100 seconds per user. By default, it is set to 100 requests per 100 seconds per user and can be adjusted to a maximum value of 1,000. But the number of requests to the API is restricted to a maximum of 10 requests per second per user.
maxResults - The maximum number of results to return. The default is 10, and the maximum allowable value is 40.
According to this post,

Around 100k/day is not a problem.
You can also request more quota, if you need it, as follows:
"Your quota request should be processed within a few business days at most. Basically we want to hear from our developers so we know what type of traffic they are sending, so we can add resources to accommodate them as necessary. But from what you describe, perhaps 100K/day, should not be a problem."
