I want to use any of these 3 APIs:
Maps JavaScript API
Geocoding API
StreetViewPanorama(Dynamic Street
View)
But I could not get an exact information on how the billing works.
I want to know 2 things regarding these:
By using any of these APIs, can we get requests for free without adding the billing details?
If its mandatory to add billing details, how many requests will I get for free if billing details are added?
Anyone who knows these, please help.
By using any of these APIs, can we get requests for free without adding the billing details?
No, you will have to add the billing details to get the requests.
If its mandatory to add billing details, how many requests will I get for free if billing details are added?
You get the equivalent of 200$ per month for free. The price of each request is stated here: https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/pricing/.
Once you have used 200$ worth of requests, you will have to start paying.
If you are afraid of going beyond the free 200$ per month you can setup quotas to prevent sudden, unexpected bills.
For example: "if i have to spend more than 1$, stop serving the APIs." so that your bill at the end of the month will be maximum 1$ - or 0$ if you so please:
Manage Your Cost of Use
To manage your cost of use of the Google Maps Platform APIs, you can set daily limits to all requests to any billable API.
To view or change daily billable limits for the Maps JavaScript API, do the following:
Go to the Maps JavaScript API Quotas page in the Google Cloud Platform Console.
From the projects list, select a project. In the Requests section, on the Requests per day line, click the edit icon, then enter the preferred total billable daily quota, up to the limit (if any) specified by Google.
From: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/usage-and-billing#set-caps
In order to use maps services, you will need to provide a valid billing account/payment method. this is because once your free trial period is over or free trial credit is fully used up then you can simply upgrade to a paid account.
Once you have a valid/working billing account then you are entitled to receive a free $200/month maps credits. once this credits is fully consumed then it checks for your free trial credit worth $300 valid for 1 year. if you have this free trial credits then it can be use to offset any charges. otherwise if your account does not have a free trial credits left then you will get billed automatically using the payment method setup on your account.

I am working for a project where I have to integrate google recaptcha v2 . I am afraid about what happens if the captcha monthly limit exceeds , How will the google response looks like at that time ? How will I validate for such a scenario ? Basically after 1 million usage is over I have to allow login of the user Has anyone done this thing?
I have written frontend validation basic code till now, if the length of google response is 0 or greater Since I don't know what will be the google response after 1 million quota I am not able to write any code to validate that?
You will not receive an error creating a token with a call to execute, instead you will receive an error when you create an assessment using that token after 1 million if you have not set up a billing account.

When to enable billing
To enable and use reCAPTCHA Enterprise on Google Cloud, you do not need to enable billing for your Google Cloud project. However, you need to enable billing for your Google Cloud project in the following scenarios:
You want to exceed the free monthly usage limit of reCAPTCHA Enterprise, which is 1 million assessments per month. For more information about the free monthly usage limit, see Pricing.
You are about to exceed the free monthly usage limit of reCAPTCHA Enterprise and you want to continue using reCAPTCHA Enterprise to protect your website without breaking your production workload.
Caution: If you do not enable billing for your Google Cloud project, reCAPTCHA Enterprise returns an error for any new request after you reach the free monthly usage limit of reCAPTCHA Enterprise.
You want to migrate site keys from the non-Enterprise version of reCAPTCHA to reCAPTCHA Enterprise.
You want to use the password leak detection feature of reCAPTCHA Enterprise.
To learn how to enable billing for your project, see Enable billing for a project.
If you make the call to assessment using the REST endpoint you will get a 429 RESOURCE EXHAUSTED response.
I'm doing an Apple Pay WEB integration (using JS) and Braintree as a payment provider.
I need to calculate some taxes (US sales tax) for the order.
Current flow: The user clicks Pay with Apple Pay button, the Apple Pay payment sheet is displayed (we require shipping address containing the postal address,zipcode,name and email).
After that the payment sheet is displayed -> I call the session.onshippingcontactselected function, but at this point I can only get the locality,administrativeArea,postalCode,country and countryCode values from the shippingContact, so I'm not getting the addressLines containing the street name and its number. I need these values as well to accurately calculate my tax.
I know that Apple says in docs that they only provide the full address after the user authorizes the payment, meaning after the payment was done (this is too late for me, cause I need to know the tax amount before the order is being placed/before the user authorizes/pays the order).
Is there a workaround through this?
Full disclosure: I work at Braintree. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact support.
As this information is delivered by Apple directly, there isn't a means by which you could circumvent the redacted shippingContact information provided in the pre-authorized session using Braintree's integration. If you need the full address to calculate tax you'd need to collect that from your customer earlier in the payment process or use a different means to calculate tax using the information provided in the shippingContact object. I'd recommend sending our support team an email to discuss this further.
I am using cordova for hybrid mobile applicaiton. I will use google map and google reverse geocoding for places, but both of them has limit, this app will be a mobile app so could over limit, Is there a way to do it without limit ?
Based on Google Maps docs:
Excess usage over the complimentary quota for each Google Maps API
service is calculated at the end of each day.
Web service APIs offer 2,500 free requests per day. If you enable
billing to access higher quotas, once you exceed 2,500 requests in a
day, you will be billed $0.50 USD / 1,000 additional requests, up to
100,000 daily.
The Google Maps JavaScript API, Google Static Maps API, and Google
Street View Image API offer 25,000 free map loads per day. If your
site generates excess usage every day for 90 consecutive days, Google
will attempt to contact you with information about payment options.
Learn more about what happens if you exceed the usage limits.
If you chose to enable billing you will need to provide your credit
card details. Your excess usage will continue to be calculated at the
end of each day, and the total charged to the credit card provided at
the end of every month, priced as given below.
So, unsless you want to hack Google, who is owner of this forum, the answer is no.
There is an opensource map library,
https://www.openstreetmap.org
And they have services for geocoding: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim
So you can also take a look at the different solutions like this one.
I have seen this question and some others that state that the usage limit is 25,000 client side requests per day and that there is a query limit which I haven't found a figure for.
Is there also a limit for the requests that a single user could make? Could a single IP rather than many site users make 25000 requests in a 24 hour period?
No this is not with Google Maps API. Google MAP Api is flexible with the usage. They don't shut down API if your usage goes beyond 25000 in a day. They check it for period of 90 days.
If usage is still higher then you need to buy paid service.

I am working on a site for a client where purchases are always sent to a third party in Magento CE ver. 1.8.1.0. While doing some style edits, we ran into a deeper issue; all of the shipping addresses are anchored to the account that created the billing information. The initial problem became apparent when dealing with shipping address pre-population in onepage checkout, where shipping was defaulting to the billing address (when tracing the methods calling the name). We could resolve this part on the frontend by repopulating the fields (or depopulating them) with javascript/ajax, however this will still leave an administrative nightmare unresolved on the back end, which will need to be addressed for the clients business model to work as intended. Basically, we need to disassociate the shipping addresses completely with the billing account and assign independent addresses to each purchase rather than keeping them all tied to the origin account, so when whoever is administrating the site has to deal with ongoing business concerns, they don't have to sort through a billion addresses in admin >> customers >> (account) >> addresses to deal with customer issues. Is there any extension that can easily accomplish this, or alternately some hidden core functionality to do so? Writing a custom solution will be difficult on the budget.
