optimizing calls to map api

[batfink]

I am new google maps and javascript and here's my question:

I have a set of lat and lang from third party source and use reverse
geocoding on google maps javascript api to display map and markers
based on user. But I want to minimize calls and reduce traffic to
google maps api. For example, if I fetch data from google maps api
once for a set of lat/lang, I want to cache it for some time period on
my web server and avoid subsequent calls to map api for same set of
lat/lang. Instead use cached data for rendering. I am not sure if it
is recommended way of using google maps.

Thanks!

We allow caching for performance reasons. Check the terms of service for more detail:

See 10.3:

Thanks. I am also looking for patterns that are used in the past by
this community or recommended by google for optimizing traffic to maps
API.
