If I have a Database of 50,000 users with there address and every time a new user is created the want to see who are the top 10 closes users by driving distance.
Google starts charging 50 cents for 1000 requests. I'm looking a better may to do this that would limit my costs.
Also is there a better way then having to run the API against all 50,000 users every time a new user is added?
At first you may select closest users by the direct distance. You don't need paid functionality for that.
Let's say 20 would be enough bacause it's very unlikely that so many addresses will be the closest by distance but farther by driving route than others.
In that case you need only 20 requests to check the users closest by route.

I recently subscribed on HERE Api for Freemium account, cause as far as I understood, I could make 250k requests per month and only would be charged after that, recently I'm working on Waypoints Sequence, and suddenly during a dev test, I got the error "Daily limit of 10 requests has been reached".
I thought that the limit was 250k requests per month, but then I read that the user can only make 10 requests per day by App ID, but makes no sense when the month limit is significantly higher.
Out of Freemium Account there's only the Pro/Premier Plans, which are actually very expensive for me right now.
Does anyone have a workaround for this? Or have another "Waypoints Sequence" tool to recomend?
Thank you all in advance
Currently, for Freemium plans only, the following limits apply:
Custom Locations: you may upload a maximum of 3 layers with a maximum of 100 polygons or polylines.
Waypoints Sequence: up to 10 requests per day.
Advanced Data Sets: up to 100 requests per hour and 1,000 per day.
Please contact our Sales team (Contact Sales) if you want to raise your limits. Thank you.
From the picture, you can see how followers statistics looks on minter.io
The only way how I imagine I would count the followers change: I would download the list of all he followers every day by the Instagram API to my DB. And after having this history already can calculate any change.
But on minter.io you can have such a graphics after few minutes after registration... How???
They are probably storing this information on a daily basis and hence are able to keep a historical trend.
If you go to the minter.io website, they mention at the bottom that they have collected data for close to 198 million accounts. I guess you were one of those.
You don't need to get the list of all followers just to show the absolute change in the numbers. The Instagram API gives that directly when you query any of the endpoints giving user information.
I know how it works at smartmetrics.co.
Smartmetrics collects information about all followers of tracked accounts and build history based on this data. So if you followed someone who is already tracked, you can get history for your account.
But minter makes fake linear graph according to some tests: How to Get Historical Data from Instagram API
Crowdbabble and Minter re-use Twitter tokens, which allows them to collect data on millions of accounts. This gives you the historical data that you want -- change in followers over time. As an individual, you aren't able to access the Twitter API and aggregate data like that for storage as easily. You don't have thousands of people giving you tokens that you can then scrape and store on a regular basis.
Crowdbabble has a free 14 day trial with no payment info required. If you don't want in-depth analytics, Twittercounter will give you your follower numbers over the past 30 days -- you can view each day separately.
noob here using Arduino Wifi (Adafruit CC3000) to send data. Or try. I have read and understood about rate limits and a limit on number of data items uploaded per connection. But I searched and cannot find what the numbers are for those limits. One per minute? I have deduced by testing that the number of data items is two, and tried to send my 6 data points in three consecutive calls of two. That crashes and burns with assorted errors, so I suspect I'm hitting the rate limit.
P.S. Two datapoints per minute work, so API key, etc is not an issue.
Can anyone tell me what these limits are?
Thanks very much for your time.
If you have a developer account (free), you have a max of 25 requests per minute. This includes if you have an app on the front end pulling/sampling the data. It includes all the GET PUT and socket connections as well.

I've searched Google and the Twitter documentation for a very straightforward answer for how the following scenario would play out. Specifically, I'm wanting to understand how Twitter's rate limiting works on a "per user" and "per app" basis. Can someone take a look at the example below and explain to me what would happen. And please don't just refer me to a Twitter documentation URL! Thanks in advance.
Example:
The "GET friends/list" API call is currently limited to 15/user and 30/app within the 15 minute window (See https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/accounts-and-users/follow-search-get-users/api-reference/get-friends-list).
If I have 4 users who all make the "GET friends/list" API call 10 times each within a 15 minute window (i.e. 40 calls made) does that mean I violate the 30/app limit? I'd still be within my limits for each of my 4 users, but do their individual calls eat away at the app limit too? Or is the app limit entirely separate and related solely to my app's token/secret?
The number of users (aka user tokens for your app that you've saved in your app store/config) give you that many times the specified per user limit (different for different APIs) for your app.
In your example, you're well within your limit if you make 10 calls per 15 minutes per user to the 'GET friends/list' API call since you have 60 (4 X 15) calls you can make per 15 minutes.
App limit applies if you don't have user tokens via user authZ/consent and are calling in application context only.
You should try your scenario with a 15 minute sleep after iterating over the 4 users and making 10 (upto 15) calls each in the user context (on the user's behalf) and you'll see that all works fine.
Ok I have looked into this, and I'm not sure if anyone else has experience with it. I'm having termendous difficulties with Yelp and Google's API.
To help explain what I am trying to do here is the concept of the website. We would have to pull restaurants based on user distance, and then randomize them based on quality of restaurant based on feedback from review websites (Yelp, Google, urbanspoon, zagat, opentable, kudzu, yahoo - doesn't have to be from all), and feedback from our users (on results page for the random restaurant users can select good recommendation/bad recommendation). There’s a lot we could calculate for our formula. Things that will dictate your results will be based on if you’re at home or work. If you’re at home you will have more time to drive out to the city to grab some dinner or lunch. If you’re at work we would have to recommend restaurants nearby as lunch is typically 30 minutes to a hour. A 30 minute lunch would require take out most likely or quick service. A hour lunch break you could dine in at a local fine dining restaurant. So in a nutshell, user comes to website. Select if they're at home or work, click submit and we will have a random restaurant selected for them to go. If they don't like it they can click retry and a new restaurant can show.
The issue I am having is using the API to gather all the restaurants in the US. I know it can be done because there are similiar websites/apps that pull restaurants that are closest to you such as Ness, Alfred, and I believe there's two more but I can't remember the names.
Anyone know if this can be accomplish? As I desperately need some help. Thanks in advance!
Yelp is the API that can provide you list of restaurant as per your search, your search can be area specific, lattitude/longitude specific etc. there are number of API through which you can see the reviews of different restaurant and put some logic based on that.
I think the logic of home/work order is something that you have to integrate in your application, yelp API can provide you with the results as per your search.
Go through their documentation for further information.
