Google Maps Geocoding API Usage Limits

The Google Maps Geocoding API has the following limits in place:

Note: These limits apply to the Google Maps Geocoding API web service which is primarily intended for server-side geocoding. If you are geocoding data in response to user input on the web, or on a mobile device, consider using client side geocoding.

These limits are enforced to prevent abuse and/or repurposing of the Google Maps Geocoding API, and may be changed in the future without notice. Additionally, we enforce a request rate limit to prevent abuse of the service. If you exceed the per-day limit or otherwise abuse the service, the Google Maps Geocoding API may stop working for you temporarily. If you continue to exceed this limit, your access to the Google Maps Geocoding API may be blocked.

Increase your Quota by Enabling Pay-as-you-go Billing

The standard Google Maps Geocoding API supports up to 100,000 requests daily. A project will be restricted to the complimentary 2,500 per-day-limit until you enable billing on the project. Once billing has been enabled, if you exceed 2,500 requests in a day, you will be billed at $0.50 USD / 1000 additional requests, up to 100,000 daily.

The maximum billable limit defaults to 100,000 requests per day. You can change this limit by clicking the edit icon next to the Total quota on the Quotas page of the API in the Google Developers Console.

If your API usage reaches your billable limit on any given day, your application will not be able to access the API for the remainder of that day.

Google charges you at the beginning of each month for the previous month's activity, using your specified payment method.
