Calculate hits left in my

Question

i am calculating distances between two places using the google api.

 https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?&origins={origin}&destinations={destination}&key={api_key}

i have a api key, which has usage limit of 2500 requests per day.

i am calculating multiple distances in my .py program. when the key usage limits exceeds, i get query over limit error.

I want to know how many hits are left in my api.

is there any way of doing it programatically?

@ScottHunter say i am using the key for n distance computations, so i want to find how many keys are left i.e. (2500-n), and i dont have a track of n. — Shubham R, Jun 09 '17 at 13:17

I wanted to add this a comment but I'm not allowed to.

But why not check for the day and keep a counter. When reached 2500 stop requesting the API and when an new day arrives reset the counter?
