Does google charges for API requests made to Google Sheet, Docs, Calendar etc.,

I just wanted to know Does Google Charges us for using API for Sheets, Docs, Calendar etc. Since when I search in google for sheets I do see information regarding Request limitations but not for pricing.

For Docs I see **All the API are free of charge". But I missed that for Google Sheet.

So rather than asking only for Google Sheet. I just wanted to know will google changes for using there API's of all the Applications(Sheets, Docs, Profile, Calendar etc).

Solution

  • The Sheets API is free of charge if you don't exceed the limit of 500 requests per 100 seconds per project, and 100 requests per 100 seconds per user.

    Same goes with the Docs API, if the below limits are respected:

    • Read requests:

      • 3000 per project per 60 seconds;

      • 300 per user per 60 seconds;

    • Write requests:

      • 600 per project per 60 seconds;

      • 60 per user per 60 seconds;

    The Calendar API has the same policy, it is free of charge if the limit of 1,000,000 queries per day is not exceeded.

    Essentially, you can check the status of your quota by accessing the Google Cloud Project which uses the API in question and checking the Quotas section.
