I have a website that is doing an address lookup during the
registration process, and everything was working fine until around
April 28th, 2010. Since this day, we've been getting throttled with
620 ("too many attempts" errors) by Google Maps API. This was being
performed by our servers (spread across 4 different IP addresses), and
could not have been exceeding the max # per day, per IP address Google
allows. The only other possible problem would seem to be with the
rate of requests we're sending to Google. So to address this, we
switched the lookup to be done via javascript (i.e. coming from the
registrant's IP address) to limit the # of requests coming from our
servers. We continued to use our registered API key on these
requests. Also, some of our requests are going through, but the %
that are being accepted has dropped around 80%.
I'm wondering if there was some recent change to Google's policy
regarding these lookups, or if our API key has been flagged for some
reason. If nobody knows the answer to this, is there anyone at Google
I can contact for more info on my particular API key?
Regards
