Retrieve Google Analytics quotas consumption via API - google-api

i want to be able to fetch all the quotas status related to the google analytics API consumption. One part of it seems to be available via IAM:
First, accessing to these data through an API would be nice..is it possible with the IAM API ?? If so, can i get a sample ?
Next, i need one more data: the google analytics quota consumption PER VIEW (which is limited to 10.000 queries per view per day)..is it also possible to fetch this data, one way or another ?
Cheers,
Clément.

At this time there is no way to programmatically access the quota usage of any Google API.
You will either need to check it manually on the google developer website or you will have to keep a count yourself in your application.
There is no other way of fetching data the Google Analytics data. If you have a 360 account you can have your data extracted into Big Query.
You can only make 10000 requests per view per day. There is also no way to increase this quota.
IAM API is for use with Google cloud and not discovery APIs so no that is not going to help you either.

Google Analytics Data API: missing flag for identifying `golden` data

I've been using such API for generating reports over Google Analytics:
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v4/rest/v4/reports/batchGet
This API has result field isDataGolden:
Indicates if response to this request is golden or not. Data is golden when the exact same request will not produce any new results if asked at a later point in time.
Currently Google Analytics has new API for generating such reports:
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/data/v1/rest/v1beta/properties/batchRunReports
But there is no analogue of isDataGolden field in this API
Question:
Is such flag will be added to new API, or maybe there is another instrument to get only golden data from new API?
p.s.:
I need to use this new API, since old one does not support new analytics properties without Universal Analytics view_id
The Google analytics data api is used for extracting data from google analytics ga4 accounts. The reporting api is used for extracting data from Universal analytics accounts. These are two different systems and should not be compared. You can not use the Google analytics data api to extract data from universal analytics accounts with view ids.
If you check the documentation for RunReportResponse which is the response returned from running a reporting in google analytics data. You will find that there is no is golden property or any property of that nature.
Remember this api is still in beta the team is still working on it. One may appear in the future. You will need to wait to find out if google will add any field like this in the future as anyone who would know is probably under NDA and cant tell you.

Is it possible to dynamically query Google APIs to see how much of the limit/quota you've used?

For a given Google API, is there any way to dynamically check usage against any of the current limits for that API?
For example, this page https://developers.google.com/classroom/limits?hl=en shows that I can query the Classrooms API 4,000,000 times per client per day. At midday, without going to the API Console, how could I know that I've already hit 3 million queries?
I'm hoping that there's a billing or usage API that covers this, but can't see it.
Note: I'm not having any issue right now with a specific call, just anticipating that my usage will scale up significantly in the next few months, so am looking for a solution for monitoring rather than advice on not hitting the limits at all. My specific use-case is for Google Classrooms, but reading wider around this I can't see a general solution either.
Answer:
No, dynamically you can't retrieve this information.
Feature Request:
You can however let Google know that this is a feature that is important for the Google Workspace APIs to have, and that you would like to request they implement it.
The page to file a Feature Request for the Google Classroom API is here, as there is no specific component for Google Workspace APIs in general I would suggest filing it here instead.
You can use Google's Cloud Monitoring API to achieve this. This is the documentation page for APIs-
https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/v3
This is the documentation page for concerned metrics-
https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/metrics_gcp#serviceruntime/quota/allocation/usage
https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/metrics_gcp#serviceruntime/quota/exceeded
https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/metrics_gcp#serviceruntime/quota/limit

Extending YouTube API Quota with limited funds

With a simple java program, I send GET requests using YouTube Data API specifically videos.list, in order to get the public metadata of a video and store it as .json files.
For my universities research, we have to do this with all available YouTube video IDs provided in the Youtube-8M Database.
Therefore, I would like to know if there is a way to extend the available quota for requests (I already know about the billing option, but I am a student and my university is small).
I have read the YouTube API terms, which states that only one project per client may be used to send such requests with the necessary API Key.
If I understand it correctly, even my simple java code is such a client.
In some other Stack Overflow questions about extending ones daily quota with API Keys, some suggested creating multiple accounts or projects.
Is this a legal option or not? Or is there another possibility to get a higher quota for simple requests used in research like I do right now?
If you go to the Google Developer console where you enabled the YouTube API. the second tab is called quota
Click the pencil next to which ever quota it is that you are blowing out. A new window will pop up with a link called apply for higher quota.
Fill out the form to apply. To my knowledge you do not have to pay for additional YouTube quota but it can take time to get approved. Make sure you comply with everything on the form.
I have never heard of the one project per client term. Technically you can run your application using different API Keys it should work fine. Technically there is nothing wrong with creating additional projects on Google Developer console. You don't need to go as far as creating another Google account.

Google Maps API token/authentication

Google Maps API provides an Autocomplition service.
According to this blog post (official?) this service is limited only by adding "powered by Google" logo.
When I'm using js library (http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&libraries=places) I'm not sending any Key information. But in a sniffer I can see some token GET parameter, which seems is generated by library.
Which one limitation information is correct?
How Google can track without Key (in case it is limited by requests per day)?
Is that possible to retrieve autosuggestion by js (from google.maps.places.Autocomplete), but then using reference (without storing) on backend and loading place details (similar to getPlace() functionality of an Autocomplete object)? If this not limited, how to generate token?
Google Places API Web Service
The Google Places API Web Service enforces a default limit of 1 000
requests per 24 hour period, which you can increase free of charge. If
your app exceeds the limit, the app will start failing. Verify your
identity to get up to 150 000 requests per 24 hour period, by enabling
billing on the Google Developers Console.
Now check at the very top of that page
Note: These limits do not apply to the Places Library in the Google
Maps JavaScript API, which is covered by the Google Maps JavaScript
API limits. If you are developing a web based application that only
needs to search for places, and does not submit new places, you should
use the Places Library of the Google Maps Javascript API rather than
the Google Places API Web Service. The Places library assigns a quota
to each end user rather than to each key. This means that your
available quota increases with your user base rather than being capped
at a fixed amount.
they are probably using ip address to identify different users.

Get Google Calendar API Limit

Is there any way to get the requests quota of Google Calendar API by calling some API method in code?
I know that I can see the total and remaining requests count on the project dashboard. But, I want to fetch it in my application and display it to admin user on a web page for convenience so that he doesn't need to sign in to Google to view the quota.
Thanks
No there is no way to see how much of the Quota you have used on any of the Google APIs. I normally keep a running count of requests for display to the user. But there is no way to check what the over all quota usage is for the application.
I have done send feed back from the Developer console several times asking them to add an API. There are cloud monitoring APIs but nothing for monitoring quota usage.
