Google place API pricing and queries uplift request - google-places-api

Regarding the usage of Google Place API, Google allows 1000 queries per 24 hour for this Place API, and 100,000 queries per 24 hour if the account is verified with a credit card. Exceeding 100,000 queries per 24 hour, we can write to Google to request for an uplift.
Does anyone have any experience with lifting the limits for the queries of Place API?
And if you didn't get approved, what is the Google's pricing model for exceeding usage of the queries?
Thanks

There is currently no pricing model for Places API as it is a free service. If you exceed your usage you will simply receive "status": "OVER_QUERY_LIMIT" in response to any subsequent Places API requests. Even if billing is enabled, you will not be charged for the use of the Places API.
If you apply for a Places API Quota Uplift, as long as your application meets the Google Maps Terms of Service and Places API Requirements, you should receive an uplift in quota.

Youtube Data API v3 quota usage application level

I want to create an app for uploading videos to youtube. So I used youtube data API. And I will serve a service for my users to uploading video youtube.
And Official documents says that:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/getting-started?hl=tr#calculating-quota-usage
Google calculates your quota usage by assigning a cost to each
request. Different types of operations have different quota costs. For
example:
A read operation that retrieves a list of resources -- channels,
videos, playlists -- usually costs 1 unit. A write operation that
creates, updates, or deletes a resource usually has costs 50 units. A
search request costs 100 units. A video upload costs 1600 units. The
Quota costs for API requests table shows the quota cost of each API
method. With these rules in mind, you can estimate the number of
requests that your application could send per day without exceeding
your quota.
Is this quotas for a application level or user level. If it is for application level, In this way I have 6 video upload credit from youtube?
What is the clear explanation for this case? Is there any difference about app level quota between user level quota?
The quota is accounted per Google project. That is that each Google project has allocated an amount of daily quota (by default 10000 units) and each API call (being it through an API key or through an access token obtained upon completing successfully an OAuth 2.0 authentication/authorization flow) is deducted out of that quota amount.
Thus, by means of a given Google project, one given application -- if granted permission by several users to access their YouTube channel upon the successful completions of OAuth 2.0 authentication/authorization flows -- could well upload videos to multiple channels.
But, as you noted, in case of one having allocated an amount of 10000 units of quota to his/her Google project, the number of videos that may be uploaded on any given day cannot exceed six (if not counting the other API calls the application may issue).
Of course there's the possibility to apply for quota extensions (by filling in this form); but be aware of the fact that, according to the experience of the users of this forum, the answer from Google does not arrive shortly.
These are application level quotas. When your application runs and you authorize a user the user uploads a video to their account.
If we look at the quota for my system
My application itself has a quota limit of 10000. but each user can max use 180,000 quota. Which is useless as my application itself can only do 10000.
My application itself can use 1,800,000 per minute but again its useless as the total for the application is 10,000.

Google API Quota Limits for Youtube API

Hi I'm new to Youtube API. I have problem in Quotas in Youtube API.
Youtube API allows to use only 10,000 quota points per day. My project is fully based on uploading videos to a Youtube Channel. For a single video upload(insert) through API it cost upto 1600 points, with this i can upload only 6 videos per day. I have applied for Quota increase. I don't know when my quota will be increased. But my Quotas Dashboard confusing me, it shows
it allows 1,800,000 queries per minute and it will allow only 10,000 queries per Day. If Youtube API can allow 1,800,000 queries/minute then Queries per day must be in Millions! In which basis I'm getting this Quotas Dashboard.
That quota is normal. A possible explanation for the quotas they are giving us could be that their biggest worry are not so much users firing 1000 requests very quickly in a short time frame but users firing 100 000 querys throughout the whole day. I've witnessed a similar issue with a thirparty provider that screenscraped a website. These people were so stupid they didnt cache anything and created much load on the site. Since they didn't react on complaints the only choice was to block them completly. Youtube uses a finer grained approach.

Can Google Calendar API be used to create scalable scheduling service?

I need to create a scheduler for my own SaaS, and I'm trying to understand whether Google Calendar API is a fit for that. Basically I could have hundreds of thousands of calendars. Each calendar may be a user of my service, but not a Google user. It seems that perhaps I could use resource calendars under my Google Cloud service account. My biggest concern is whether my usage will fall within the Calendar API's service quotas, either automatically or by requesting a quota increase?
Yes service accounts will fall within quota usage limits. There is also a limit about creating more then 25 calendars in a day causing the user to end up in read mode for the rest of the day.

Google Calendar API Usage Limits
The Google Calendar API has a courtesy limit of 1,000,000 queries per day.
To view or change usage limits for your project, or to request an increase to your quota, do the following:
If you don't already have a billing account for your project, then create one.
Visit the Enabled APIs page of the API library in the API Console, and select an API from the list.
To view and change quota-related settings, select Quotas. To view usage statistics, select Usage.
On the one hand, you could work around the quota issues by sharding your users across multiple Service Accounts. You would probably also want to shard them across multiple App IDs.
On the other hand, don't do it. In my experience, using Google APIs outside their intended use case doesn't end well.

Get remaining queries / quota for API

How do I programmatically retrieve (ideally through the API) my remaining quota for that same API? Specifically the Youtube Data API.
Well, as of now, there is no tool that can do this or compute the remaining quota used in the API. What can I give you is this feature request coming from this SO question that requesting to have a Quota statistics API for the Google Products. But sadly to say, there is no exact date when they will approve and release this API.
What can you do right now is to estimate the remaining quota of your YouTube API by using this Quota Calculator. By using this tool, you can now know how much quota that you are using every day.
Hope this information helps you.

Google api limits for platforms (DFP)

I'm not sure where to read about the API request limit for a Google platform such as DFP.
I want to know if the limits are on a per platform basis, or a per google API console account basis? Because there may be several API accounts under
a single platform
Thanks
According to their support,
The API will give a QuotaError if the number of requests exceeds the limit. It is recommended to implement a back off before retrying the request. If you have DFP Small business, then it is recommended to limit requests 2 per second, if you have a Premium account, limit 8 requests per second.
For any additional information you could refer their,
Online Documentation
Ask for help in their Google Group
Hope that helps. Cheers
