Is the number of Client-Side requests for Google Custom Search API limited?


I've an account with Google Developers, where it shows that the limit is 1,000 requests/day for a specific API key. My question is, is this the number of requests by the server or the client side?

Currently, I'm using the deprecated

http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&hl=en&gl=en&userip=&q=test+imdb&start=0&rsz=8

for making AJAX requests by client and display it.None of my code is server side. Which seems to work fine. But the results arn't up to date and clearly, it might be completely removed from service anytime soon.

I'm also using the USER-IP parameter while using that API to make sure google knows how is requesting how many times. So, can I make as many client side requests as possible?


Solution

  • The limit 10.000/month is per-app (per-client) as you are using it with your key, so it doesnt matter does the client start the calls because they are on behalf of your app
