Consumption APIs for Azure China.
Which API do I need to call for China which is similar to https://consumption.azure.com?
For web direct customer, we have this article (https://docs.azure.cn/en-us/billing/billing-get-usage-information, both English & Chinese support) to guide to download usage details from account center; while for EA customer, this article (https://docs.azure.cn/zh-cn/enterprise-agreement-billing/enterprise-agreement-billing-download-usage-report, Chinese only) gives the proper guidance i.e., for billing API – feature wise, China have the same function on EA portal and process is the same, however, we use china azure URL instead global, e.g. ea.azure.cn. We summary china azure billing API in this article (https://docs.azure.cn/zh-cn/enterprise-agreement-billing/enterprise-agreement-billing-download-usage-report). Hope this helps!!

I was trying to use the Model Derivative API in Postman but received the error:
"You are not allowed to use this API because your Forge trial is expired."
When I go to manage.autodesk.com I see that I am assigned the Forge product.
When I go to forge.autodesk.com and check my Forge Account Details, it says my free trial has expired and I can purchase additional credits. Do I not get credits from being assigned a Forge product from my company's account?
No, you cannot get credits from your company's account as they are non-transferrable. Only the company's account will have the credits that can only be used by the app credentials of the company account.

Google Maps is available in China per their documentation:
The Google Maps APIs are served within China from the domain
maps.google.cn. This domain does not support https. When making
requests to the Google Maps APIs from China, please replace
https://maps.googleapis.com with http://maps.google.cn.
I have tested this outside China without any issues, however I can't find any documentation that prohibit developers from using http://maps.google.cn outside of china. Does anyone knows about any restrictions?
The answer is already stated in that description. The "https://maps.googleapis.com" or simply "https" is not supported in the China. That is why you need to use "http" and not "https". There is no problem with that outside of China because we can still access that http://maps.google.cn. The only issue is http is not a secured and the data is not encrypted, and it can be intercepted by third parties to gather data being passed between the two systems.
So if you are not in China, it is better to use the https://maps.googleapis.com. The http://maps.google.cn is only for the people who wants to use Google Map that is live in China.
Hope this information helps you.
When using the google maps static API service, all my requests are showing up as a 403 Forbidden. When taking a look at my request, I notice this error message: "The Google Maps API server rejected your request. This service requires an API key."
The code that is calling the service is below:
<img src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=Albany,+NY&zoom=13&scale=false&size=600x300&maptype=roadmap&format=png&visual_refresh=true" alt="Google Map of Albany, NY">
I've used the static map service before and it worked fine and easily. But for some reason, all my requests show up as a 403 now? I've never had to use an API key in the past. If I do use an API key with this call, it works.
What is going on here?
The Google Static Maps API now requires a key (as of June 22, 2016), existing applications should be "grandfathered" with keyless access. See this blog post for more information (relevant text below):
As of June 22, 2016 we are making the following changes to the Google Maps APIs Standard Plan:
We no longer support keyless access (any request that doesn't include an API key). Future product updates are only available for requests made with an API key. API keys allow us to contact developers when required and help us identify misbehaving implementations.
We have implemented a simple 25,000 map loads per day free limit to new Google Maps JavaScript API, Static Maps API, and Street View Image API implementations. The confusing 90-consecutive-day grace period for these APIs is being retired on October 12, 2016. With this change, developers can predictably plan for growth while media sites and US nonprofits can request more quota at no charge via our dedicated support programs.
We have reduced the daily map load maximum limit you can purchase for Google Maps JavaScript API, Static Maps API, and Street View Image API from 1,000,000 to 100,000 requests per API.* We believe higher-volume developers are best served with a Premium Plan license, which includes technical support and a Service Level Agreement, and with this change we've also created consistency between Standard Plan quotas across our maps and web service APIs.
We now count Google Maps JavaScript API client-side requests towards the daily limit of the associated web service API.*
The new policies will apply immediately to all Maps API implementations created on or after June 22nd, 2016.
Existing applications have been grandfathered based on their current usage to ensure that they continue to function both now and in the future. We will also be proactively contacting all existing API key users who, based on usage growth patterns, may be impacted in the future. If you’re an existing user, please take the time to read our Policy Update for Standard Plan summary for details on how each of these changes might affect your implementation.

(b) No Direct Marketing. You must not print more than 5,000 copies of
sales collateral materials containing a screenshot of the Content for

What is the most suitable map API for vehicle tracking and fleet management service?
FYI, from Google map terms of service-
License restricted for- (c) dispatch, fleet management, business asset tracking, or similar enterprise applications (the Google Maps APIs can be used to track assets (such as cars, buses or other vehicles) as long as the tracking application is made available to the public without charge. For example, you may offer a free, public Maps API Implementation that displays real-time public transit or other transportation status information. If your Maps API Implementation is deployed internally or you are charging for use of your Maps API Implementation, please contact the Google Maps API Premier sales team for more information);
I am not comfortable with this clause. Do I need to pay if I integrate google map in my tracking application where users are supposed to pay for the tracking data storage and service?

Do I need to pay if I integrate google map in my tracking application where users are supposed to pay for the tracking data storage and service?
Yes, that's what it says.
Contact Google and get a quote. For another use we got a quote that was quite reasonable -- your use might be more expensive.
