Migrated discussion from AppEngine group:

Over the past couple of weeks I have noticed an increase in the
number
of "OVER_QUERY_LIMIT" responses we have been receiving.  Currently
whenever we make a call to be geocoded we keep track of that call and
decrease a counter on our end.  I have historical data that shows we
usually end the day with at least 300 queries left.  This AM, I
cannot
even make a query off the server because it returns the limit
message,
and I show in our table that we have some 2300 call left.

Is there a call that can be made to get your current query limit? If
not, does the 2500 calls allowed happen in a sliding window? Are
there
hourly limits to prevent flooding?

This would be greatly helpful provided our search mechanism first
attempts to get relevant geocoded data from the server before
actually
calling over to Google for an unknown geocode.

Thanks.

Is this the maps API you're referring to?

------------------

The Geocoding API v3. I am using the Xml response.

I just hit the limit tonight testing some changes that needed to be
implemented.  I had 698 addresses to geocode. I pulled them from the
database and submit each address using:

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address={0}&sensor=false

I then write back some of the data in the response. I checked and 26
came up empty. I reran the code and 2 came back with the
OVER_QUERY_LIMIT. So, it took 3 passes to geocode 698 addresses. I
had
to use 726 calls.  Luckily this is only one of the tables that needs
updating and we only submit it to geocoding when the address changes.
We keep track of all our calls when geocoding on the server side as
stated previously.

Thanks again for the help.

You know this is the App Engine list, not a Maps or gdata list, right?

Any possible help here?
