Hi there ... I'm developing an application in C# which sends the reverser geocoding request by http to google (http://code.google.com/ apis/maps/documentation/services.html#Geocoding_Direct), retrieve the XML response ... parsing the information which i need and store them to the database.
Because the intensive of our company, we do a lot of reverse geo request per second ( currently now about 5 requests/second in normal time and 7-8 requests/second in rush hour ... for the company may growing in the future we may reach the double amount of requests in the future). Because of the intensive of showing the result on hand so i decided to use multi threading for all the requests ( currently now is optimized to 10 threads at a time)... At first i've turned to the extreme performance with low sleeping time and low waiting time then i've gotten some error like 403 (forbidden), after that i've optimized it a little bit and after filling about 8000 records i got the 602 ( properly something with the 15000 requests/day limitation ) ... So what should i do to lift those limitation out? Yes our company have Premier license, but everything i had now is jut the API key which send to me by email from my boss, all other information such as contract, the SLA, blah blah not in my hand right now (and in our software development department no ones have the Google technical contact either), should I contact my boss which has already been on vacation, first? But what should i told him in the email (because my boss told us when we decided change our geocoding system from our old geocoding service provider to Google, that Google allows unlimited geocoding when we became Premier user, but now i got about 15000 per day). We have a the testing environment (which our local test server) which already had 100.000 unresolved records. I've tried a free API key at first and after that the premier key which is not made any differences. ( do i guess it's based on the IP address) ... We really want to test the application properly before we're going to implement them on the Production server. I did my searching and this is what I've found (http:// groups.google.de/group/Google-Maps-API/browse_thread/thread/ 1d2a0c09b37bdf10). Maybe because I'm too stupid to understand ... but i need a better explanation (maybe not better but something which i can understand with my low LV of brain (or IQ you could say) ) of the reason why my application began return me the 602 status code after around ~ 10000 successful attempts ... Please give me a proper response or at least what i should do right now ... so i can act fast (because the old contract with our old geocoding service company will end at the 01/01/2009) ... don't give me some response like ... "please use the search button" or "give us the link" ... that kind of responses gave me a lot of troubles, and waste me alot of time since i developed our web application base on google map API ... thanks god that in the end i did managed it on time. But i think i really need help and not flame this time in order to carry out this new application on time (we can have about half months more ... that is the maximum limitation otherwise we have to sign a contract for ... another year lol). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
