We're currently integrating Google Drive/Docs access in our mobile Apps and use the Google Document List API for this purpose. Are there any restrictions on the number of requests allowed for single API key?
I can't find any information in the Google API Console as the Document List API is not listed there. I can only activate the Google Drive API (which does not yet support functionalities we need).
The Documents List API does not use API keys in the same way as the newer APIs such as Drive. We (Google) do not give exact quota details for this API, but in general the value is extremely high. You may encounter 503 responses which indicate that you should perform exponential backoff. If, despite this, you are hitting an absolute ceiling, you should contact us and we will investigate, and look to increase your quota.

I want to get data from YouTube via IMPORTXML function in Google Docs.
It used to work before, but now "Imported content is empty."
For example, to get likes, I use the query:
=IF(ISNA(IMPORTXML("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkgR0SxmMKo","(//*[contains(#class,'like-button-renderer-like-button')])[1]"))=TRUE,0,
IMPORTXML("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkgR0SxmMKo","(//*[contains(#class,'like-button-renderer-like-button')])[1]"))
but it is not working now, the imported content is empty.
So, the question is, what query should be to get data.
Your code above is scraping the YouTube site, relying on undocumented features of YouTube's API.
Instead of being in contradiction with DTOS -- e.g. paragraphs D.7 and E.6 --, I would suggest you to use the YouTube Data API's endpoint Videos.list, for obtaining the number of likes of any given video through the property statistics.likeCount.
Here is what DTOS says about undocumented features and scraping:
[D.7] Undocumented Services
You must not use undocumented APIs without express permission. You must access data from YouTube API services only according to the means stipulated in the authorized documentation of that YouTube API service.
You must not reverse engineer undocumented YouTube API services or otherwise attempt to derive the underlying source code of these API services.
[E.6] Scraping
You and your API Clients must not, and must not encourage, enable, or require others to, directly or indirectly, scrape YouTube Applications or Google Applications, or obtain scraped YouTube data or content. Public search engines may scrape data only in accordance with YouTube's robots.txt file or with YouTube's prior written permission.
I am going to implement a python client that search videos on youtube with different queries. Apparently I should use youtube data api for this. Even though I read quata cost I just want to be sure that using youtube api is totally free of charge. Sorry it is too basic.
Yes, using the YouTube API does not incur any monetary cost for the entity calling the API. If you go over your quota an 403 Error will be returned by the API.

Google already provides a Python client for all of its APIs, including YouTube, which handles authentication, forming and making the API request as well as some datatype translation (i.e. JSON to dictionary, etc.). (link)
Yes it is, but some restrictions like limit you can use only 100000 units per day.
and 3000 per second per 100 user per day. For more quotas you have to apply for it. You can apply key or oauth id at HERE. Hope it will help you.
I'm using Java SpreadsheetService class from gdata 1.47.1 and from time to time my service account gets blocked and asked to solve some CAPTCHA. In the block message Google asks me to prove that I'm not a robot and I violated some terms. This happens usually when I exceeded 18-22 requests from one IP and from one service account per one second.
Does anybody know is there a way to avoid such blocking and/or increase my quota. I found that I can control the quota for Drive API and many others, but still can't get how to control Spreadsheet quota.
UPDATED
The interesting moment, that using spreadsheet API doesn't affect to any quota included in Google developer console. For example when I create document it hits to Drive's quota (I can see it in 'Usage quota'), but when I update cells/get worksheets via spreadsheet API it doesn't hit any.
Project quotas can be seen on the Project's developer console page. Typically a project is given
1,000,000,000 requests/day
1,000 requests/100seconds/user
In which you can add more if necessary (you'll incur charges though). In terms of quota specific to Spreadsheet, I don't think there's any references to that. I'll probably just assume its the same quota the Drive API is using.
Hi I have made an app and enable Google Places api for that project.
I create a project on google developer portal and add the key in to my iOS app After that I start to send request to google Api and My search Works very well as I also know that google has per day request limit on each Api
Now today I send Max. 30 request and after that from google Api I was given error that your daily quota is reached which is 1k request / day.
I did not find any solution on any where Kindly help me to solve this problem.
You need to request more quota:
https://developers.google.com/places/uplift
If you reached the quota while testing your app, make sure that you have used the developer key for that purpose.
What kind of Search are you using?
Some types of searches cost more than others.
For example, one of the autocomplete search types, Text Search, has a 10x multiplier. (https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/usage)
Make sure that you look at the usage limits specified for each API/service you are using.
Additionally, if you are looking at your online dashboard you can see the real-time number of requests that have been made / are being made to each API/service by project. This can help debug when these requests may be being made and how many are occurring per call you believe to be making.
I want to parse google and yandex search results for my little website analyzer utility.
so i should send hundreds requests per minute. What is good practice for this issue?
Is google search api a good way?
The Google Search API may not be used for bots. Google will block your utility if you request too much searches.
