Trying to figure out the limitations of the Google Maps API for Business.
It appears that usage limit is 100K loads/day per one Business account (here). A business account can include a number of authorized URLs (up to 100), which can be as general as domains (here). Meanwhile, a single website can load up to 25K loads/day for free (here).
So my main question is - seems the Business account doesn't get you all that much in terms of usage limits - and actually hurts you in case you have several domains (e.g., 8 domains which would have 200K combined limit (25Kx8) in the free case, but only 100K in case of using Business account). Is that how it works?
A smaller question: are there limitations on which URLs can be authorized? (I.e., do they have to be within the same TLD or not)?
If you already have an M4B license I would encourage you to contact M4B Tech Support team:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/business/faq#support
If you do not have access, but are using M4B then fill in this form:
http://support.google.com/enterprisehelp/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=142246#q3
There are number of reasons why you would like a M4B license. Some customers buy it for interbal pageviews, some for the increased Web Service quotas and others for the Tech Support and SLAs.
If you would like to know more you can contact the Google Sales team:
http://www.google.com/enterprise/earthmaps/maps.html
Regarding the TLDs, the answer is no. They can be any http or https URLs.

I want to use google place API in a web application, I just wanted to confirm that API is free or not?
If it is Paid feature then what are the charges?
You may view the pricing of each API here.
Places API is not free, however, once you set up your billing account, you will be entitled for a one time $300 free credit(usable for Google Cloud Platform products) and a monthly recurring $200 free credit(exclusive for Google Maps Platform products), after consuming the credits, you will receive an OVER_QUERY_LIMIT and will not be billed.
If you wish to not receive an OVER_QUERY_LIMIT error when credits are exhausted, you may upgrade your billing account and will be billed accordingly for the usage after the credits.
For each API you need to enable billing but the first $200 of each month is free. Check out the pricing structure for specific API and functionality to better understand how much $200 will get you (based on Oct'19 price structure).
Source: Google cloud pricing
You need to have a billing account if you want to use this API.
From the documentation:
Reminder: To use the Places API, you must include an API key with all API requests and you must enable billing on each of your projects.
You don't have to pay for this API because the payment method are pay as you go but you will need to restrict your requests quota so you wont get charged.

I'm programming a software based on google maps api for emergency vehicles. Is it possible to make the directions api allow breaking traffic rules (like turning left where it's not allowed)?
Thank you
I don't think it is still possible with the latest version of Maps API. It is still a feature request.
Also, I don't see if a workaround exists.
I'm afraid there is even worse thing that might disallow using of Google Maps API in applications for emergency vehicles.
Have a look at paragraph 10.2 (g) of Terms of Service. It reads:
General Google API Restrictions. The following restrictions apply generally to all Google Services, including the Google application programming interfaces at https://developers.google.com/products/ (or such other URL as Google may provide) (the “Google API(s)”). You will not:
g. Use the Google APIs for any activities where the use or failure of the Google APIs could lead to death, personal injury, or environmental damage (such as the operation of nuclear facilities, air traffic control, or life support systems).

I'm aware that for adding HTTPs to a site, one can either:
buy a overpriced SSL certificate from a reputed CA like
VeriSign
or purchase a much lower priced certificate from several
other companies
or one could even use his/her own self signed
certificate i.e, for free.
But for a decent HTTPs implementation that is:
you want most of standard browsers recognize the certificate(there shouldn't be any warnings/ errors on standard browsers)
security is tight rather than just a false impression of secure site.
brand name of CA is not that really important to you.
for a public site similar to LinkedIn but smaller in scale(no financial transactions, but users profile data).
economical pricing
Would implementing such an HTTPs always come at a price ? What is the cost effective way to implement it ? I don't want to spend hundred of dollars an year initially, when I have lower user base.
StartSSL offers certificates at prices based on the effort it takes to validate the data that you want to have validated, rather than based on the added value percieved by the customer. As a result, domain validated certificates are free, because validation can be fully automated. These kinds of certificates ensure that the client is talking to the domain advertised in the common name, rather than to some man-in-the-middle or some host that the domain resolves to as a result of DNS poisoning.
None of the personal information that you provide will be available in a domain validated certificate. If it would, than it would imply that the CA actually validated that information.
For a lot of sites, this is enough security. For shops, banks and other sites that require certain personal information from the client, this is clearly not enough. These sites should use certificates that not only ensure that the user communicates with the site that he wants to, but also that the site is run by the company that he wants to do business with.

I had an idea for my first mobile application and I was thinking of making it in HTML5 + Jquery Mobile. The core functionality is:
to be able to take a picture of a receipt
digitize all the information.
I've never made a mobile app before and I'm not sure if this is possible. If there is no API available, how would I go about rolling my own receipt reader? Thanks! Please let me know if I am being stupid.
Edit: I found a service that lets me use their application to take a picture(or e-mail the picture) of the receipt and have it extract the necessary information. http://www.proongo.com/b/receipt-reading.php. I'm not exactly sure how to use this service but I will do more research tomorrow and share with you what I find.
I found an OCR API service with a number of different pay-per business models called OCRAPISERVICE. They have a number of examples hosted on github using various mobileOSs through PhoneGap. They do have a free-trial model that lets you submit 100 requests.
I guess you need to apply OCR for software solution with a function of recognizing supermarket receipts. There are many open source OCR solutions like Tesseract and others. However, they are targeted to general OCR. Therefore, you have to use some additional tools for recognizing receipts via a mobile app.
Recently we have worked on the web-based app for receipt recognition. Here you may find some details of the research: http://rnd.azoft.com/applying-ocr-technology-receipt-recognition/
Besides Tesseract, all the big boys: Google, Microsoft and IBM have now got their own offering of OCR APIs. These APIs provide simple image-to-text OCR scan with various degree of accuracy. I find Google Vision to be the most accurate for pictures of a receipt. You would still need to extract the data out of the half-garbage text though.
If you want an API that returns field metadata like: total amount, tax amount, date and merchant information, where you apps can consume directly. Check out https://www.taggun.io. I've built the APIs specifically for this purpose.

We are a software company developing a system using Google Maps for our customer internal use (commercial, with GPS device). I know that our customer need to have Google Maps premier license.
My question is: Does my company need to pay Google any license fee for development purposes?
(IANAL and I don't speak for Google)
I would definitely check with Google and/or get your own lawyer's opinion, but the bolded section below would make me think that you would not need a premier license for the development phase.
