We have a pharmacy search application. We are trying to get the input address from the user and the user specified the address at that address Can find in raduis. We are planning a geo code from the third party service to the address entered by the user. After getting the Geocode we will search for pharmacies in our DB and address the results around that address. Each result will have a link that will show a new tab / window that maps.google.com will display the location.
If we use the Google Geocoding API service to get Geocode, will they charge for it? I'm not showing a map on my UI Is it OK or is there a violation of Google Terms? Does this scenario also apply to 2500 requests / days? I see MapQuest is a service that will only return GeoCode.
Thanks, Avinash
Double check with Google's Terms of Service, But usually they start denying your API requests after reaching your limit. If you are a repeat offender, they can permanently stop their IP from using their APIs. This limit is on the call that you do in the Geocoding API and is unrelated to whether you display the map using your Maps API. The following include strategies to work within these limits:
