rate limitation

[Sonali Aggarwal]

Hi,
Does geopy has a rate limitation? (the number of queries that can be
sent) I could not find from the documentation what it is.

Thanks,
Sonali

Hi Sonali,

I think it depends on the geocoder that you use.

For instance, if geopy is relying on Google Maps, the following would apply:

"Use of the Google Geocoding API is subject to a query limit of 2,500
geolocation requests per day. (User of Google Maps API Premier may perform
up to 100,000 requests per day.) "

Cheers,
Luis
