I have a project relay on google drive API and i hit API limits all the time.
And i need to know if google drive API limits is set per accounts or per projects?
And if it is per project, is there any limitation per account?
Thsnks
Google Drive API limits are subject to limits based on per project, per user and per time frame.
You can see your quota by creating a project in the Google Developer's Console, and from the Burger Menu (☰) menu in the top left following:
☰ > IAM & admin > Quotas
From here you can see your quotas for each service, clicking on Google Drive API will bring you to the Drive API specific page which shows you how many Queries per day, Queries per 100 seconds, and Queries per 100 seconds per user that the selected project is subject to.
The Developers console also has graphs showing your traffic and request history to all API services, so is a good place to see where you are hitting your limits and potentially reduce this where you can.
There is a batch update method of Drive which if you are making multiple requests can significantly reduce your number of requests, but as mentioned on the Google Developers blog they are deprecating this endpoint on 12th August 2020 and so API specific batch endpoints would need to be used.

I need to enable the Advanced Drive Google service in order to be able to use Google Drive API. I need it because, only with this API, can I share Google Drive files programatically without sending emails to the users.
When enabling Advanced Google services, I'm asked to agree to the Google Cloud Platform and Google APIs Terms of Service. My question is, "Do I expose my account / my company, to costs by enabling advanced Google services?" I just want to use Google Drive API to make use of one method only.
There is no cost to enabling the Google Drive API for use with Apps Script.
Use of the Google Drive API doesn't have a cost associated with it.
There are three quota limits for the Drive API, which are controlled through the Google Cloud Platform, not through Apps Script. It's highly doubtful that you'll hit those limits. The limit for Queries per day is 1 Billion. But even if you did hit a Drive API quota limit, there is no cost, the API would just stop working.
To be charged for any API, you'd need to enable billing and set up a billing account. It's good to understand the liability before making a commitment. If you ever decide to pay for a service, make sure that you know how to shut it off. There should be tools to keep track of how much of a quota that you've used.
If you hit the storage limit in your Google Drive, then you can "upgrade" to a higher storage limit, which would cost you something. Users with personal (free/consumer) accounts can pay for more Drive storage with a product named Google One.
If you have a Google Workspace account, then extra storage can be purchased also, but it's different than Google One.
There are Cloud Computing Storage products that do cost something, but they probably have a free tier.
I created service account to consume Google Drive REST API for domain wide delegation. But from document I came to know that there are some limits API consumption such as
Number of request per day per app.
Number of requests/second/user etc.
Now my questions are
How can I find these exact numbers of my google service account?
What are default numbers for free account?
Is these numbers vary from service account and install app type applications?
Can anyone one help me please?
Each request to the Google API will be counted. You can monitor your quota details from Google Developer Console.
APIs & Auth -> APIs -> Select the API -> Navigate to Quota tab.
Currently for the Drive API it reads "Courtesy limit: 1,000,000,000 requests/day". It's a per app quota.
After you've enabled the Drive API you can also set a per user rate limit (by default 100 req/sec) to prevent one user from depleting your app's quota. That's available in the "Quotas" tab.
There is also a link to request more quota in the "Quotas" tab in case you need more than the default 1B req/day.
We are using API for static maps. Some times map is not displayed with the correct information, Instead it displays a crossed image . This is happening randomly for few seconds.
Ex1: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=51.4666667,-116.5833333&zoom=11&size=380%20x%20380&sensor=false&markers=51.4666667,-116.5833333
Ex2: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=51.4355096,-0.405238800000006&zoom=13&size=380%20x%20380&sensor=false&markers=51.4355096,-0.405238800000006

Most websites and applications may use the Google Static Maps API free of charge. However, if you consistently generate a high amount of traffic, usage limits apply and you will need to pay for extra usage. If your site or application generates 25,000 Static Maps image requests or more each day, for more than 90 consecutive days, Google will attempt to get in touch with you to talk about payment. Don't worry, if you go over the limits, Google won't immediately shut off your API access or display error messages on your site.
It is recommended that you sign up for an API key, so that you can track your usage via the Google APIs Console. Please note also that the following additional limits apply to applications that don't use an API key: 1,000 Static Maps image requests per IP address per 24 hour period, and 50 Static Maps image requests per IP address per minute.
Quick question, just to clarify the wording and meaning (because it's changed a couple of times for Map loading...)
There are the two following statements in the Places API FAQs:
The Google Places API has the following query limits:
Users with an API key are allowed 1 000 requests per 24 hour period.
Users who have verified their identity through the APIs console are
allowed 100 000 requests per 24 hour period. A credit card is required
for verification, by enabling billing in the console. We ask for your
credit card purely to validate your identity. Your card will not be
charged for use of the Places API. While the lower limit is sufficient
for development and testing, we recommend enabling the higher limit
before launching your application. It is possible to request an
additional quota. If granted, the additional quota is free of charge.
If, at some stage in the future, an option becomes available to pay
for an additional quota, that quota will be over and above the
existing free quota, and you will need to sign up for it explicitly.
Note that some services may have a multiplier:
The Text Search service is subject to a 10-times multiplier. That is,
each Text Search request that you make will count as 10 requests
against your quota. The Radar Search Service is subject to a 5-times
multiplier. That is, each Radar Search request that you make will
count as 5 requests against your quota. If you've purchased the Google
Places API as part of your Maps API for Business contract, the
multiplier may be different. Please refer to the Google Maps API for
Business documentation for details.
This implies that use of the Google Places API is restricted to 100,000 queries per day, or 10,000 if you're doing a Text Search.
However, on the Uplift page, it says the following:
If you are developing a web based application that only needs to
search for places, and is not submitting new places or Place Bumps,
you should use the Places library of the Maps API rather than using
the 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.
I am using the Places API in the following way:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=XXX&libraries=places
...
service = new google.maps.places.PlacesService(map);
service.textSearch(request, callback);
And also for some details searching and photo searching.
Therefore my question is; Given my usage of the Places API, am I subject to the 100,000 queries limit on my app, or am I essentially uncapped at an app level, as my quota is per end-user? (i.e. per unique IP? if I had 10,000 users I have an effective quota for my entire user base of 100,000*10,000?)
EDIT:
For clarity: if I throw my API key into https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=-33.8670522,151.1957362&radius=500&types=food&name=harbour&sensor=false&key=XXXX, it will increment my Places quota count on the Google API console, however if I run queries through my JS app, I see no quota use change. I want to make sure that i'm not suddenly going to be hit with a massive quota result.
Use of the JavaScript API services, like those provided by the Places library, have quota assigned to each end-user. It's a very similar setup as objects like the google.maps.Geocoder, which has been discussed in a bit more detail in this Geocoding Strategies article.
You may apply for an uplift to the quota so that the restriction is taken away and you have unlimited access:

This form is applicable to Android, IOS and Web.
Is there a quota for drive api the dash sugestes 500k but is that a day or a month? can we ask for a quota increase?
Also can I use picker to select all google drive files from the external app?
The quota in the APIs Console is per day, it should actually read "500,000 queries/day".
To ask for more, just click on the "Request more..." link next to it and fill the form.
You can use the Picker to display a list of the currently authenticated user's Drive files. Check the docs at https://developers.google.com/drive/integrate-open
