Roads API Usage and Billing

Reminder: To use the Roads API, you must enable billing on each of your projects and include an API key or OAuth token with all API or SDK requests.

Roads API requests generate different SKUs depending on the type of request: nearest roads, route traveled with snap to roads, or speed limits.

Usage limits

While there is no maximum number of requests per day, the following usage limits are in place for the Roads API:

• Requests per minute are limited, calculated across all Roads API endpoints.

  Note: The usage limit is based on number of requests for the Speed Limits endpoint as well, even though billing is based on the number of elements.

• A maximum of 100 points per request.

Adjust quota

Quota limits define the maximum number of requests allowed for a specific API or service within a given timeframe. When the number of requests in your project reaches the quota limit, your service stops responding to requests.

Important: To understand how an increase in quota could affect your bill, check out the pricing calculator.

To modify a quota value for your API, follow these steps:

1. In the Cloud console, navigate to Google Maps Platform > Quotas.
2. Select the API for which you want to modify the quota.
3. Identify the quota value that you want to change, and select it using the checkbox.
4. Click Edit, enter a new quota value, and click Submit request.

View quota increase requests

Important: You must have the appropriate IAM permissions to view quota increase requests.

To view all quota increase requests, including past and pending requests:

1. In the Cloud console, navigate to Google Maps Platform > Quotas.
2. Select the API for which you want to view the quota increase request.
3. Click Increase Requests.

Tip: Make sure to monitor your quota usage regularly to avoid service interruptions. Learn more about quotas and quota alerts.
