How can I ask for more quota and how much does the request to the Google Maps Geolocation API cost?


I developed a mobile app based on the Google Gears API

URL from the API: https://developers.google.com/gears/

But the API is not supported anymore.

I want to migrate my app to the Google Maps Geolocation API.

URL from the API: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/business/geolocation

I check the features of the Geolocation API and it seems it is the best solution to migrate my app maintaining the functionalities I had using the Gears API.

I was developing the migration but I finished my daily quota.

When I ask for more quota on the Google API console, I am redirected a form to contact a Google sales executive.

On the other hand, I enabled the billing and I have a credit of 15$ but even though I can not change my daily quota.

How can I ask for more daily request quota and how much money does it cost?

Cheers,


Solution

  • You need to contact to Google Sales for using Google Maps Geolocation API, because Google doesn't provide for free quota except for testing quota (100 times/day). And you might also need to buy Google Maps API for business license, the geolocation API might require the business license. So asking to Google Sales is only available option.
