We are developing a project working with Gmail API, it might exceed the API limit on this page https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/v1/reference/quota
API Limit
Daily Usage 1,000,000,000 quota units per day
Per User Rate Limit 250 quota units per user per second
"Exceeding a rate limit will cause an HTTP 403 or HTTP 429 Too Many Requests response and your app should respond by retrying with exponential backoff."
So we can we make a call from script, to check the number of API call left before we run the project? Or it can only be seen in google API console in a web page?
Does the HTTP 403 error bonded to Daily Usage limit and HTTP 429 bonded to User Rate Limit?
Does the API limit Daily Usage means calendar day?
The link that you've provided gives a lot of information about Gmail Quota Usage and limits.
1.So we can we make a call from script, to check the number of API call left before we run the project? Or it can only be seen in google API console in a web page?
To view the quota usage, access your developer console. And you are correct, it is viewable using the console. You can also see traffic ( number of request per seconds), and error ratio of the enabled API of your project.
2.Does the HTTP 403 error bonded to Daily Usage limit and HTTP 429 bonded to User Rate Limit?
According to the documentation Usage Limits:
Exceeding a rate limit will cause an HTTP 403 or HTTP 429 Too Many Requests response and your app should respond by retrying with exponential backoff.
An error 4xx is more likely be related to user rate limit. And the documentation discussed what to do when experiencing an error 4xx (exponential backoff).
3.Does the API limit Daily Usage means calendar day?
Daily usage means the maximum API requests per day
Hope this info helps.

When I try to change Google Sheets API quotas (300 per minute to 600), it says "You can't request more quota because your project is not linked to a billing account."
If I set my billing account, is there a cost to change Google Sheets API quotas?

According to a help article by Google:
There is no charge for requesting a quota increase. Your costs increase only if you use more resources.
So by going from that, you should not be charged if you increase your quota but instead if the number of requests to the server goes past the original quota. You will be charged by the number of requests to the server so if you hit 301 read requests per minute then you will be charged accordingly, but not the same as hitting 600 requests per minute. If you stay below the 300 read requests per minute quota then it appears that you will not be charged.
I am developing an app which uses the distance calculation of HERE maps API...
I am preparing for the case when the API doesn't return what my app expects (correct response including distance infos). So I want to be prepared for the case the API Request Quota was exceeded...
What HTTP status code does it return when API Quota was exceeded?
Does it return a 200 with some JSON which explains that and error occurred because of quota?
You should also get a 429 error from the API, with a message "Limit Exceeded".
If you exceed the Location Services 250,000 Transactions or Data Hub 2.5GB Data transfer or 5GB Database storage included for free in the Freemium plan, you'll receive an email telling you to add payment details to your account.
You'll have some "wiggle room" above your limits to help ensure your access is not unintentionally shut down. However, it's possible to exceed the threshold, including "wiggle room", which would result in account deactivation, even before we can notify you.
for detail please check the FAQ section with question
"12. What happens if I exceed limits on my Freemium plan?"

As per the documention of the OneDrive API https://dev.onedrive.com/README.htm, under the Throttling option, "OneDrive has limits in place to make sure that individuals and apps do not adversely affect the experience of other users. When an activity exceeds OneDrive's limits, API requests will be rejected for a period of time. OneDrive may also return a Retry-After header with the number of seconds your app should wait before sending more requests."
So i would like to know what are the limitations that causes the OneDriveApi to reject request
Based on how use the API many requests to it or if you are trying to do something that the user is not info need abt
I am developing a mobile application that will request Instagram server for searching photos with the hashtags.Client id is passed with the request.
Since the request limit provided by Instagram is 5000/hour so my question is:-
While requesting api of Instagram via client id rate limit is considered in respect of client id or IP address?
Please suggest me on the same.
I have read the doc but it was not mentioned there.
From the Instagram Developer site (endpoints):
Limits Be nice. If you're sending too many requests too quickly, we'll
send back a 503 error code (server unavailable).
You are limited to 5000 requests per hour per access_token or
client_id overall. Practically, this means you should (when possible)
authenticate users so that limits are well outside the reach of a
given user.
see also "Rate Limit Exceeded Instagram Error":
I tried to count my likes until i hit “Rate Limit Exceeded” Error, It
came around 100 – 150 Photos, and i waited for 5 mins and tried to
like again then the error goes off until i reach some 50 to 60 pics,
from the analysis i suppose Instagram is permitting to like 100 – 200
photos Per Hour.. and for Follows its 60 – 100…
According to the developer documentation clients are allowed to make 5000 requests per hour, but at the moment my application is being limited to 350 requests per hour. The error code I get is 400, and the message is "The number of maximum requests per hour has been exceeded. You have made XXX requests of the allowed 350, in last hour.". Do you know why this request limit is in place, and how it can be increased to the listed 5000?
Note: My application uses the API to like certain images, but according to the documentation I should still get 5000 requests per hour.
5000 is total number of API requests(any instagram APIs) you can make per hour using a access_token, however certain APIs like Commenting, follow/unfollow, liking have its own limit of 350 or something to limit spam. 5000 limit is for total API calls per hour (recent photo api + search APIs + like API +...)
See the official documentation API End User Limit for more details.
The 5000 per hour limit refers to authenticated requests, ie: those which use an access_token. Since you're not using an access token, you're limited to fewer requests per hour. From their documentation:
You are limited to 5000 requests per hour per access_token or
client_id overall. Practically, this means you should (when possible)
authenticate users so that limits are well outside the reach of a
given user
