We need to get user's profile picture from Google+ by API: https://content.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/{UID}?key={APP_KEY}(https://developers.google.com/+/api/latest/people/get)
Does anyone know there is daily call limitation number or not ?
Thanks.
The Google+ API has two different quotas depending on the methods you call.
The "Sign-in" quota which includes the people.get method is limited to 20,000,000 calls per day (which should be plenty to get started). Even though it says "Sign-in" the methods will use this quota even if the calls are un-authenticated only using an API-Key.
You can visit the Quotas section in the Google APIs Console for your project to check these quotas (and how much you have used up already) and also request more if necessary:
https://code.google.com/apis/console/#:quotas
Also see the docs about which methods are included in the "sign-in" quota.

I'd like to manage the playlists on my account automatically with a program I'm going to write. To this end, I took a look at the youtube API. However, it seems to me that the only sensible way to do that is to have a Google G Suite account in order to get access to the OAuth 2.0 API. At the same time, it confuses me that I need to pay a monthly fee just to be able to manage my own playlists. Am I missing something or is this indeed the only way?
You actually don't have to pay anything for normal operations (e.g. if you're able to function within the boundaries of the default quota allocated to your app). To manage (ie. list/create/modify/delete) your channel's playlists you'll have to use the following API endpoints:
Playlists.list, Playlists.insert, Playlists.update and Playlists.delete;
PlaylistItems.list, PlaylistItems.insert, PlaylistItems.update and PlaylistItems.delete.
For read-only operations on public data it suffices to have an application key.
For write operations you'll have to familiarize yourself with OAuth 2.0 authorization in the context of this API. See a brief top level description given by one of my recent answers. Then you'll have to go through the official docs referred to therein.
I wonder if someone else has experienced the same issue, and might have an answer to it.
I am using the Google Places API. There I do two kinds of requests
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/
and
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/
After I have done about 20,000 of these requests my Quota of 150,000 has been eaten up, and I do get an error message.
The strange thing is, when I look at the Google API Console I can see the following:
In the API & Services Section I can see the following (which reflects the real requests I have done)
and in the IAM & admin section I do see a much higher value
This looks artifically high, and is limiting the service way to early.
Does anyone else have the same issue?
I figuert out, why there is this difference in request in the API view and requests in the Quota view.
When using the TextSeach Places API, each text search request, will be multiplied by a factor 10 towards your free contingent.
it is mentioned at this page:
TextSearchRequests
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 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.
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.
