App Engine & Google Geocoding Service (OVER_QUERY_LIMIT)

[Zarko]

Can you guys please take care of the:
"Join apps quota for the Google Geocoding service from inside App
Engine"
(In a URL fetch for example).

P l e a s e

I can deal with 2500 free request quota per day,
but lately I am getting OVER_QUERY_LIMIT responses after just 1-2
first request for the day...
A primer key cost like a million, and I can't even get 1% of the free
quota,
because I am using App Engine (and I share quota/IP with "everyone").

By the way I can't transfer the job to the client (it's not a browser
app).

I and many others will thank you if you can fix this issue

Are you sure your app is using the API legally then? 

Note: the Geocoding API may only be used in conjunction with a Google map; geocoding results without displaying them on a map is prohibited.

Yes, it is in use with a Google map, actually I am trying to save
requests to Google from clients...

This issue comes and goes in this thread all the the time.
I also suggested in the past to delegate the job to the client since I
could't see a scenario where we use server side request and be within
the TOR's.
(see here : http://gaengine.blogspot.com/2010/05/google-maps-api-quotas-and-app-engine.html
)
I was wrong. Recently I run into a case where I had to do this and
still I am sure I am within legal limits, this is so when you need the
geolocation service in order to publish a static map served from
Google.
So this is a real problem and the issue has to be resolved somehow,
although I think we are discussing this in the wrong group. IMO that
this is an issue for the maps group and we should adress it there.

Happy coding:-)
