I am looking at Google BigQuery API and couldn't find any info regarding any sandbox or developer account, so if I just want to test it before I try, I still have to pay, correct? just wanna confirm.
Thanks,
Andy
You should be able to try it out without paying, you're just limited to 10,000 requests a day after which you'd need to pay to continue using it.
Just go to your api console, make a new project, and activate BigQuery from the list. When you do you'll be asked to sign the agreement, which does have a payment terms section that states:
3.1. Free Quota. The Service is provided to Customer without charge up to the Fee Threshold.
You can take a look at the pricing page here: https://developers.google.com/bigquery/docs/pricing
BigQuery sandbox launched last friday (Feb 1st) which allows you to try BQ free without a CC, just need a gmail account. Check the docs out here: https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/sandbox
or from the BQ marketing page:

I'm using Google's Workspace Migrate tool to move Gmail data for users from one Workspace domain to another. After about 10 minutes, Gmail message migrations stop with an error saying "Quota exceeded for quota metric 'Queries' and limit 'Queries per minute per user" of service "gmail.googleapis.com' for [Google Cloud project number]."
I don't see in Google Cloud that I'm actually hitting any limits. I don't have the ability to throttle API requests as I'm using a tool provided by Google. Do "free" Google Cloud projects have different limits than "paid" projects?
I'm expecting Google's tool to work as advertised. I have a case open with their support, but I'm not getting anywhere fast when it comes to a solution.
Hello 👋 Not sure if you already got an answer to this, but I recommend checking the Quotas page on GCP to see your current usage. You can access that here. Search for the "Queries per minute per user" metric for the Gmail API and look at your "Seven-day peak usage percentage". A note, though, since your question was posted more than seven days ago, you might need to rerun a migration to see your current usage.
Regarding your question about the limit for "free projects", I can't really help there. I can tell you that on our project (which has a billing account attached), we have the limit set to 15,000.
You can always ask Google to increase your quota if you're not getting enough for your use case.
I have been using Google BigQuery without billing enabled until yesterday for the past 3 weeks (Until Jun 4th Australian Time). But today it gives me error stating "You have to enable Billing".
My Question is :
Was i just got lucky so far? Or something changed recently ?.
I started using Browser tool with public data then i created few tables and it all worked and then started using command line tool yesterday and today it gave me error.
Anybody faced similar issue ?
Google BigQuery is a premium service, and we started billing on June 1, 2012. We sent a reminder about this on our bigquery-announce mailing list (which is the list to subscribe to for announcements about new features) but here is the same information:
The BigQuery API allows up to 100GB/mo of free query processing.
After exceeding the free tier of query processing, your project must be signed up for billing. See our pricing page for more details. This is also required to be able to load data into the system.
If you haven't activated billing on your project, and exceed the free quota, the BigQuery API will return a 403 "billingNotEnabled" error with the message: "Billing has not been enabled for this project."
To enable billing on your project, you must register a credit card with Google Checkout.
For more information, see this link for an overview of the Google API Console. Then see this page for steps to enable billing.
Your first billing statement will arrive at the end of June, 2012.
Thanks,
Michael
I have developed one app in which i have used the Google Place API. This is what places doc says about limitation.
The Google Places API has the following query limits:
Users with an API key are allowed 1 000 requests per 24 hour period.
Users who have also verified their identity through the APIs console are allowed 100 000 requests per 24 hour period. A credit card is required for verification, by enabling billing in the console. Your card will not be charged for use of the Places API.
So my question is that if i enable billing for Place API then its free? Is it really true?
Yes, you will have what they are saying. I have done that, so I can confirm... If you put your credit card info, you are letting them know that you are a verified user, and that therefore you won't misuse their services.
And for the second question, we are talking about Google here. It is really true, you won't be charged, they can make money from other sources :)
EDIT:
Actually, if you need more than the "verified" option, it seems you can contact them as stated by Thor Mitchell (Product Manager #Google) in this topic at Quora: Pros and Cons of Places API
"The limits on use (after identity verification) is 100,000 requests
per day, and we're happy to talk to developers who need more about
their requirements."
As of today, the limit is 150,000 free requests per day, but the documentation is hard to make sense of in terms of how they bill overage.
Latest update March 2019:
"For an overview of pricing for the Google Maps Platform products, please see the Pricing Sheet.

I have been using the Google Websearch API for over 1 year now. The service was deprecated in Nov 2010 but continues to provide results to date. More recently, google has started to enforce the 1,000 queries (?) per day limit on this deprecated service. I swear, last month I made over 10,000 API calls in one day without any errors from the service (same IP, same API key).
So I guess my question is has anyone found an alternative yet? I know yahoo boss is pretty good but I am working exclusively on Google for my projects. I do not mind spending money for for this service either as long as i can get 64 results from Google.
On that thought, how are services like Zoomrank able to bypass all Google limits? I have a subscription with Zoomrank and I can get daily rankings for all my keywords. Do they have a tie-up with Google or are they just accessing some secret service I don't know about.
Some people have suggested the new Google custom search, but i dont know how does that help me search the web? Google CS is limited to the CSE you create and searches within those engines. If I am looking for web results for Pizza, Google CS doesnt help me.
Thanks for your input. Much appreciated
UPDATE: #ggez44 points to some official Google documentation of the solution described below here: http://support.google.com/customsearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1210656
You can use the Google Custom Search Engine to search the entire web.
In brief:
Create a CSE that searches a single site (e.g. google.com)
In the CSE control panel's Basics section, set to "Search the entire web but emphasize certain sites"
In the Sites section, delete the single site that you added when you created the CSE

Once that's implemented, you can enable billing in the Google API Console at a CPM of $5, to a total of 10,000 queries.

I've written a subscription based web app that I want to charge (by credit card) a monthly fee. There are 3 different plans and once they sign up, they should be billed that amount, automatically, every month until they cancel. Is there an easy way to set this up (some sort of online service maybe?).
You can use Paypal's merchant service to provide reoccurring charges for a subscription.
Pretty easy to implement, they provide plenty of examples and even a sandbox to get you up and running.
There are now some service providers that take care of your billing and subscription needs. You use their API and they handle billing and subscriptions for you. Their services work with payment systems like PayPal and Authorize.Net.
Take a look at the following sites:
Chargify
Spreedly
Cheddargetter
I would suggest not using Paypal or Authorize's recurring payments directly. Their APIs are brutal, and the functionality is very rudimentary. It may work fine for when you're just starting out, but if you ever want to change anything down the line, you'll be in trouble.
I work for CheddarGetter, so I'm biased, but you should check us out.
Our competitors are not as robust or flexible, but they are definitely better than using Paypal or Authorize.net directly.
