I'm developing an application which use map. I'm trying to avoide google API (because their request time are limited).
I want something complete free but can provide feature like geocoding, reserve-geo, find nearest place ...
Any suggestion ?
Have you looked at geonames? They are using googlemaps as well as openstreetmap for the forward and reverse searches. I know openstreetmap can handle everything that you are asking for.

how do i get information from this page 'https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/quotas' programmatically, i couldn't find any API service to do this, is there a way to do it?
Currently, this is not possible to achieve, however, there's a feature request to consider having this functionality.
I have a book recommendation project for school, and I want to add a picture for each book. I was thinking I could use a search engine API to return the first result, but I'm having trouble with them:
The Google .NET Api seems to be unsupported
The Bing API
The Flickr Api is well documented and it actually works, but the images on there aren't what I'm looking for
Have you tried http://jpg.to ?
[searchterm].jpg.to
i.e.

For a project, I wan't to build a webapp, which shows (semi-) real time Tweets with specific keywords.
I'm not sure how to start. Can somebody explain to me how I need to start. I have a PHP framework for my website.
With what language do I need to retrieve data form the Twitter API. JSON? PHP?
Where can I find a nice tutorial?
I hope somebody can provide me a few lines of code, just to help me on the right track.
Thanks!

You could use the Streaming API with the Phirehose library (PHP).
The method "filter" of this API catch all the tweets with the specified keywords in real-time. You can take a look at 140dev for an example of application using this library.
Since Google has deprecated their old web search API as of recently, what are people using to do customized local search? (i.e. search for "donut shop" near this latitude and longitude) Sticking with the deprecated API? Using another Google API? Another provider entirely?
Their suggestion to use their new Custom Search API doesn't seem useful for local. Maybe i'm missing something under my nose?
Google Places API is in developer preview.
I personally used Yahoo! Local Search
The Yelp API is pretty slick as well -- it'll give you local search capabilities and you can also get ratings information.
I've found this Quora link quite useful:

I'm writing a location base client and would love to integrate Panoramio with my client, now the problem is that I can't find a way to interact with the Panoramio using a ~REST-like service.
I know they do have an API but it's mostly for embedding the content into a website and not as to interact thru me code (at least from documentation)
Have any of you hacked a way thru this?
I am writing the clients natively for android and iphone in case you are wondering.

well it seems like the answer came a bit fast... and although this is easily accessible thru their website it is discussed in their forum and even google has posted about it in their geo developer blog
a sample request to get images from a bounding box will go along the lines of the following example:
http://www.panoramio.com/map/get_panoramas.php?order=popularity&set=public&from=0&to=10&minx=-124.29382324218749&miny=36.089060460282006&maxx=-119.8773193359375&maxy=38.724090458956965&callback=MyCallback
Update: I have found also the official page to their data api.
hope it helps!
