Use of the Static Maps API requires registration of a free Maps API key. The Maps API key allows you to use the Static Maps API, as well as the standard Maps API.
Use of the Google Static Maps API is also subject to a query limit of 1000 unique (different) image requests per viewer per day. Since this restriction is a quota per viewer and not per key, most developers should not need to worry about exceeding their quota. Additionally, note that requests of identical images, in general, do not count towards this limit beyond the original request. If a user exceeds the limit as proscribed above, the following image will be displayed indicating that the quota has been exceeded: This limit is enforced to prevent abuse and/or repurposing of the Static Maps API, and this limit may be changed in the future without notice. If you exceed the 24-hour limit or otherwise abuse the service, the Static Maps API may stop working for you temporarily. If you continue to exceed this limit, your access to the Static Maps API may be blocked. If my site exceed this limit, the access will be blocked? this limit is counted by ip? someone can help me? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
