Where to start Google Books API

[CaptainRiggs]

I have no idea where to start to ask my questions so my apologies for posting here.

I have written a simple pythons script to access data about books using ISBN

Response from my request was that I have exceeded my daily quota.

I had only made one request for one ISBN number as a test case.

Checked my quota useage and it shows zeo useage 

Where on the community board do I go to ask my questions and get help with my project?

Hello @CaptainRiggs,

Thank you for contacting Google Cloud Community. 

I understand that you are unable to set the quota limits to any number higher than 0. Please correct me if I misunderstood.

Please note that the eligibility criteria to increase quota is based on your service usage history. It is suggested to reach out to the Sales Teams for requesting additional resources and to discuss further options for higher quota eligibility.

By submitting your request through this form, our sales team will directly get in contact with you within 2-3 business days and process your request.

Note: If you are in your free trail, you can't request a quota increase. 

I hope the above provided information is helpful 🙂

Thanks & Regards,
Manish Bavireddy.

Hi @Manish_B I am having a similar issue on my project.

I have been using the Google Books API for about a year developing a project and it's been fine the whole time. I have never hit quota of 1000 calls per day, never even near it.

Now suddenly I'm regularly getting an error 429 Quota exceeded for Queries per Day. I am definitely not hitting limits and it's showing 0/1000 calls made in GCP for the Google Books API.

Please look into this possible technical error.
