You have exceeded your daily request quota for this API. Google Places API iOS Swift

Question

I am trying to use Google Places API in a very simple app. I just want to locate all the shopping malls near the current location. I used this web service:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=12.9412390245245,77.6171295438685&radius=1000&sensor=true&types=shopping_mall&key=MY_SERVER_KEY

It was working, but now I am getting the following error message:

{
   "error_message" : "You have exceeded your daily request quota for this API.",
   "html_attributions" : [],
   "results" : [],
   "status" : "OVER_QUERY_LIMIT"
}

How can I avoid this? Also, while creating server key, I did not provide any IP address, as I don't have any server. I don't want to pay anything for this simple service. Is there anyway we can avoid it or any other free alternative?

Answer 1

here is your answer link

@engin-kurutepe Have answered it very well .

He writes "Make sure that you're not hitting the Google API too fast. They don't limit the total number of requests but the rate of requests. About 10 requests per second is more or less the fastest you're allowed to hit their APIs."

Hope this Helps!

Answer 2

Almost every Google API has a daily free quota. For Google Places API it's 2500 requests per day and 10 requests per second. If you want to use more than that, I would suggest to enable billing. If you still want to use the free quota, please wait for a day to get those 2500 requests again.

P.S. : The quota is based on specific accounts. Please make your own API key using Google API console if you're using a random one.

Hope it helps.
