I am using Geocoder "getFromLocation" API provided as part of Google SDK in my Android application (Link https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Geocoder.html) to get location address details. The input parameters fed to this API are latitude, longitude which are obtained from "getLastKnownLocation" API of Location Manager.

I would like to know if there is any API usage limit per day for Geocoder "getFromLocation" API provided by Google as this API does not ask for any API KEY?

Any input on this will be very helpful. Thanks

  • The Geocoder "getFromLocation" is not from Google Maps API so you don't need any API key for that. – Yong Boon Fei Nov 24 '16 at 02:53
  • If you check [Geocoder getFromLocation](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Geocoder.html#getFromLocation) , nowhere does it state that there's limit usage for that call. So I think you'll do just fine using that. – ReyAnthonyRenacia Nov 27 '16 at 10:41
  • Thanks for the comments. Will update if I observe any changes with respect to what we have discussed. – abhat Nov 28 '16 at 06:39
  • @abhat From your observations did you find any limit for this? I am also using same and want to know is there any limit? – Shailendra Madda Apr 03 '18 at 11:49
  • @shylendra any update on android geocoder usage limit policy? Do you get reverse geocoded results on every attempt? – Nabeel Thobani Nov 22 '18 at 05:18
  • @NabeelThobani Yes, we need to enable billing now, AND 50 requests per second (QPS), calculated as the sum of client-side and server-side queries. source: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/usage-and-billing – Shailendra Madda Nov 22 '18 at 07:31
  • @shylendra Looks like you have moved to google geocoding api and consuming like this: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=40.714224,-73.961452&key=YOUR_API_KEY Any idea about usage limit of Geocoder that's mentioned below: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Geocoder – Nabeel Thobani Nov 23 '18 at 11:53
  • @NabeelThobani as noogui mentioned in the previous comment there is no any limit in using Geocoder getFromLocation. You can refer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/17782962/2462531 – Shailendra Madda Nov 24 '18 at 10:38
