Use a Proxy.  Then you can come through your own IP-pool.

Subject: Re: [google-appengine] Re: HItting query limit using Geocoding API
from App Engine

 

We are delegating some of that to the client now, but it is far

less than ideal. Our client is mobile, so every byte that we send

over can end up costing our users money (you would be surprised

how sensitive some people are to this).

 

Thanks for the resource, though. I wish country level would be

enough information for us :-(.

 

Doing some additional searching around, it looks this issue has

been bought up by some other users on the maps forum:

May be you can delegate the geocoding job to the client side using
js ?
also you can take a look here :

Hello,

This seems to be more of a problem with the geocoding api than app engine,
but I'm unable to get ahold of anyone on that team so I'll post here
instead.

The new Geocoding API doesn't do any form of url signing or api keys for
non-premier accounts and resorts to using IP address to control quotas.
Since App Engine uses a shared IP pool, my app gets clumped in the quota
limitations of other apps. This must be a somewhat frequent problem for
other apps, since 90% of my geocoding attempts get an 'OVER_QUERY_LIMIT'
message. These last few days, it has been closer to 100% at 500-600 queries
spread out over an 15-20 hours.

I'll add that I don't think using a pool of IPs is at all the issue. Any
large scale deployment would be hitting the Geocoding API from a pool of
IPs, and if the pool were dedicated to a single service, the service would
be circumventing the Geocoding API quotas anyway.

Is anyone else on the list having this issue? Have you been able to work
with the geocoding team to get auth tokens that don't require having a
premier account?
