The Google API Console distinguishes between Google+ API and Google+ API (Sign-in). What's the precise distinction here, i.e., what specific calls does the latter refer to?

(The sign-in quota is showing up as many per second per user, which would seem excessive if it really is just a single user signing in. I guess it's an arbitrary value.)

The methods that require authorization of the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login scope fall into the "Google+ API (Sign-In)" quota. All other Google+ methods fall under the "Google+ API" quota.

"Google+ API ("Sign-In") quota covers these methods:

  • people.list
  • people.get
  • moments.insert
  • moments.remove
  • moments.list

Google+ API quota: - All other methods

  • Hey. I am sending now all the request using Google+ API quota without Sign-In. And its limit is pretty small. I'm using the service with my developer key: `service = apiclient.discovery.build(service_name, service_version, developerKey=api_key)`. I didn't get what should I do to use the sign-in version of quota. I am following pages and fetching comments, +1s and resharers. I'd like to use sign-in quota for +1s and resharers (people.list API call). – Baskaya Jul 29 '15 at 05:26
