I am using Google Maps API to display about 50 locations on the map.

  • 0

I am using Google Maps API to display about 50 locations on the map. I am using client side geocoding. I am using window.setTimeout to control the number of geocode requests that the application sends per second. If I send more than 1 request per second, I am getting an OVER QUERY LIMIT response.

Question: Isn’t this limit supposed to be 10 queries per second? If yes, then what could I be doing wrong? If no, then does Business API has more generous queries per second limit?

Please note that our application is not going to hit the 25,000 queries per day.

    The geocoder has quota and rate limits. From experience, you can geocode ~10 locations without hitting the query limit (the actual number probably depends on server loading). The best solution is to delay when you get OVER_QUERY_LIMIT errors, then retry. See these similar posts:
