Does anyone know what the actual usage allowances are for the Google API e.g. number of calls / frequency of calls? I appear to have triggered them. My requests to the snippets URL are coming back with 403 Forbidden in my C# code, and if I copy the URI across to my browser I see the "we're sorry" error (copied at end of this message). I've probably only made 100 calls this morning, but they were quite similar as I am debugging my app.
It complains that it thinks "automated requests" are occurring from a virus etc., my program is making automated requests, but obviously is not a virus! I am not currently doing any authentication of a developer ID or my google username or password - could this be contributing (I did see a previous post saying authentication was not required for snippets). Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Paul. We're sorry... ... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now. We'll restore your access as quickly as possible, so try again soon. In the meantime, if you suspect that your computer or network has been infected, you might want to run a virus checker or spyware remover to make sure that your systems are free of viruses and other spurious software. We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope we'll see you again on Google. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Base Data API" group.
