Question

For some reason the JSON request for Google Maps Goeocode API isn’t working. If you type this url in the address bar:

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway+Mountain+View+CA&sensor=false

It will return this:

{
   "results" : [],
   "status" : "OVER_QUERY_LIMIT"
}

Note that example is taken directly from the Google Developers site: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/.

How can you retrieve the JSON request?

Answer 1

It doesn’t return this to me.

You simply made too many queries.

See https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/#Limits

Use of the Google Geocoding API is subject to a query limit of 2,500
geolocation requests per day.(User of Google Maps API for Business may perform up to 100,000 requests per day.)
