Google translation API single request limit


I'm getting:

Error 413 (Request Entity Too Large)

Using the new Google Cloud Translation API, via Python client. I need to cut my text limit, but not able to find the limit. My request contained 15185 characters.

Looks like my error is not related to Quota limits:

Solution

  • Same situation here although I found the following in the docs:

    https://cloud.google.com/translate/quotas

    https://cloud.google.com/translate/faq

    In the second link there is a specific question about chars per request and it says it shouldn't be more than 5000
