Is there a quotas and request limitation when using google fit api? I want to use the google fit api and I'm curious if there is a limitation when using it.
You may check your project's Fitness API current limit of in the Google Developer Console. As I've checked my current project, the default limits are:
86,400 Queries per day
500 Queries per 100 seconds per user
1,000 Queries per 100 seconds
Daily quotas reset at midnight Pacific Time (PT). You can request more quota limits or view quotas for your other services on the Quotas page, found in IAM & admin.

Daily quotas for Google services are described here. For example 100 email recipients per day. How is "day" defined when evaluating the quota? Does the quota get reset when it's midnight in my time zone? Or in Greenwich? Or do they count the statistics of the past 24 hours with a sliding time window?
For Apps Script it's seems no resource to get such info.
But you can check Google Cloud quotas help page to get an idea on how Google calculates per day quotas:
For per-day rate quotas: The Current usage is the total usage for far in the current 24-hour period for day-rate quotas.
Also see this related questions on when non-Apps Script quotas reset:
When does the daily error limit for the analytics API reset?
Google API: Quota Limit Reset Times and Timezone
The answer you are looking for is currently written here in this reference article:
Limits per day are applied over a rolling 24-hour period, not a set time of day.
So basically, quota limits are restored over a set of 1-24 hours starting from the recent period that it was depleted.
And, aside from that, these quota limits are not subject only to App Script, rather than the service quota it uses by their Google Service is all used by their designated quota reserve as explained here:
Note: In addition to the Apps Script quotas, some features have quotas created by the Google product they're associated with. A use of a product feature in Apps Script depletes all associated quota reserves. A feature becomes unavailable if any of the associated quotas are reached.
Side note:
As mentioned by CizRanger, the two conditions below are the requirements needed for you to increase your quota limits if you are using a Google Workspace account:
Your domain has cumulatively paid at least USD 100 (or equivalent)
At least 60 days have passed since reaching that payment threshold
This is a really good question!
Based on my experience the Quota reset for certain quotas is reset within 24 hours right after the last run of your script.
Moreover, you need to keep in mind that if you have a trial Google Workspace (After you convert from a free trial account to a paid subscription) this means that you need to:
1-Your domain has cumulatively paid at least USD $100 (or equivalent).
2-At least 60 days have passed since reaching that payment threshold.
In their notifications about the new billing system for the Google Maps APIs, Google very clearly state that you "can set usage limits to protect against unexpected increases". However, I haven't found any documentation regarding how to set these usage limits against an API key. Does anyone know how to do this?
To clarify, I would like to set my own daily usage limits against my API key to prevent it ever going over the free threshold for the static maps API.
I understand Google means that you can set your custom daily quota for each individual API in order to stay within free 200$, not a global per API key/project/Billing account daily quota. As far as I know there is no such thing as limit per daily usage in $ per Billing account yet.
There are alerts that you can establish in your Billing account and receive notifications if your usage is close to the defined budget. Have a look at the following document that explain how to set alerts:
https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/budgets?hl=en
If your project uses only Static Maps API, it is easy to set daily quota to stay within 200$ per month. The price sheet says that you can have up to 100 000 free requests per month. That means 100 000 / 31 = 3225 free requests per day. You can go to Quota section of Static Maps API in your project
https://console.developers.google.com/google/maps-apis/apis/static-maps-backend.googleapis.com/quotas?project=YOUR_PROJECT_ID&duration=PT1H
and change your daily quota as shown in my screenshots
edit number requests per day
and you are set.
I hope this helps!
OK a bit late for reply, but maybe somebody else can use this.
You do get tons of free map hits etc.
If you don't link a pay account, then you are limited to 1 hit per day (that's google maps) which is useless. All other quotas like 10000 per 100 sec etc are secondary to the 1 hit per day.
Now once you have linked your pay account or a Credit Card etc, to google development console then you get full quota for free user, plus more if you go over your quota covered by your Credit Card.
However don't panic, for first year it's all free and you get $300 (at this moment) worth of free stuff.
Even if you go over this limit Google will first ask you if you wish to change to payment system or continue with free.
If you decide to pay then you will be charged per indicated on google dev site.
If you decide to go with free option then the service to your site will stop until next rotation, i.e. day or month etc depending on service.
see this table.
Unless you have millions of hit on your map page or app, then the free quota is more than enough for normal sites.
Here is a price calculator by google.
As you see you get a lot of unlimited stuff and some paid if you go over your recurring credit of $200 or $300
Google makes it so complicated because it involves people coming from old system and those registering between roll over etc.
perhaps this will help too.
You can also set budgets and alerts just in case you go over budget (via Billing section of dev site)
So in short :) you get tons of free and if you have a lot of visitors the surely you make some money to pay for the services.
Note that google charges for all their API services in 1 place so if you use say Geocoding and firebase and cloud dev etc then you will soon start paying.
Sorry for any typos, I did this fast.
Capping API Usage
Depending on the API, you can explicitly cap requests in a variety of ways, including: requests per day, requests per 100 seconds, and requests per 100 seconds per user.
You might want to limit the billable usage by setting caps. For example, to prevent getting billed for usage beyond the free courtesy usage limits, you can set requests per day caps.
For more info, check this doc: https://cloud.google.com/apis/docs/capping-api-usage
I've been accessing the Google Cloud Vision API from a script in a Google Sheet using UrlFetch and the REST API.
Until I got "UrlFetch failed because too much upload bandwidth was used" I didn't even know there was a quota on UrlFetch!
Is the a way to access Google Cloud APIs from a Google Apps Script so I can dodge the quota?
Quotas protect the users of Google services by preventing unforeseen spikes in usage, on the benefit of both the user (who might get unexpected bills if the quota is related to a payed resource) and the community (who will have more resourcesa available, as they will not be monopolized by users that are making an excesive use of them).
That is the reason why quotas cannot be exceeded, although depending on the service (and specific quota) you are using, you may be able to request a quota increase by following the documented procedure or contacting the support team of the product in use.
Finally, in order to identify which is the quota that you are currently hitting, refer to this documentation page where you will be able to find the quotas for URL Fetch, which as of February 2018 are:
As a side note, you have to take into account that these quotas are refreshed at the end of a 24-hour window, so your quota will be resetted to 0 every day. Moreover, this is also on a per-user basis, so you can work around this limitation by spreading your URLFetch usage across several users and days, if that is something that you can manage.
My app needs show some places by add javascript.
I read the places api just now,but i had a confusion: if i add many places by my server,can other people see it on my app immediately?and How did google charge for it
Yes, if you have your API KEY people will see the changes immediately.
about the charges for use;
The Google Places API Web Service enforces a default limit of 1,000 free requests per 24 hour period, calculated as the sum of client-side and server-side requests. If your app exceeds the initial limit, the app will start failing. You can increase this limit free of charge, up to 150,000 requests per 24 hour period.
The maximum limit for free usage is 150,000 requests per 24 hour period. If your app exceeds the limit, the app will start failing again. Purchase a Google Maps APIs Premium Plan license to get more than 150,000 requests per 24 hour period.
and more you can read from here.
I currently have an application based on phonehap cordova and makes use of the maps and services of google mpas.
Some of these services are the geocoding and Directions service, with the geocoding I had problems about the "Over query limit" when geocoding more than 250 addresses so I had to implement the use of SetTimeout and delays in time not to send more than 10 Or 20 requests per second. As with geocoding is made use of the service Directions Service in which routes are made on the map and which sometimes also throws the error "Over_query_limit" so that also makes a setTimeout or a timeout in each Routing request.
But this timeout or setTimeout causes the application to slow down by doing these processes for what we already know.
According to this problem and the different plans and tariffs that google offers which of them could serve me to cover mainly these two problems?
The client side per session limits are the same for Premium and Standard plans. You can execute 10 initial requests and after that 1 request per second.
The rate limit is applied per user session, regardless of how many users share the same project. When you first load the API, you are allocated an initial quota of requests. Once you use this quota, the API enforces rate limits on additional requests on a per-second basis. If too many requests are made within a certain time period, the API returns an OVER_QUERY_LIMIT response code.
The per-session rate limit prevents the use of client-side services for batch requests, such as batch geocoding. For batch requests, use the Google Maps Geocoding API web service.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/geocoding#UsageLimits
In order to solve the issue you should create server side code and call web services as suggested in documentation. With web services you will have 50 QPS and 2500 daily request for free (100K daily requests with Billing enabled) in Standard plan. With Premium plan there is no daily limit and you have 50 QPS as well.
Have a look at documentation for further details
