Google Translate API always returning 'Daily Limit Exceeded'

Question

I'm trying to get the google translate API up and running. On the getting started guide, it gives the following example: https://www.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2/detect?key={MyAppId}&q=google+translate+is+fast

I just want to get this working for now, so I'm just trying to get it working view via a browser post, so I created a testing web application (screenshot):

and grabbed the API key, replaced the sample URL's key with my API key. I get the following response:

{
 "error": {
  "errors": [
   {
    "domain": "usageLimits",
    "reason": "dailyLimitExceeded",
    "message": "Daily Limit Exceeded"
   }
  ],
  "code": 403,
  "message": "Daily Limit Exceeded"
 }
}

I should also note, that I have signed my account up with the billing option (I plan on using the service quite a bit), so I should have no issues at the moment.

I'm obviously doing something wrong, but I don't know what. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

For getting data translated you have to enable billing and have to register your credit/debit card.After you register your card 1$ will be deducted and then you will be able to use your URL

I did it recently and it worked fine.

I am also working on translating project nowadays.

Let me know if you need any kind of help on this topic

Answer 2

I would first confirm that the Translate API is enabled under the "APIs" link in the Cloud Console - if it is not enabled, that effectively sets the quota to zero and may produce a similar message.

If the API is enabled, then the following link describes how to check the usage limits for your project: https://developers.google.com/translate/v2/pricing
