Currently I am working with Google Calendar integration in our product. I am very new to the Google Calendar API.
As a first step, I have gone through the Google API documentation, and I am little bit confused with the Calendar API usage limits. I have the following questions regarding this:
What is the usage limit for Calendar API? I have seen as 500,000 requests per day. Is this limit based on the hosting domain/URL or a particular user?
In some other document, it says 10,000. Is this limit for one user? Can I get the details of how it is counting?
Can I use the Javascript API for integration since Google released it for beta version?
https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/javascript/start/start-js
Which will be useful: either the Javascript API or the server side API? Is there any difference in usage limit between the Javascript API and server side API?
1, 2: Currently it is 500 000 queries a day per project. That means all your users combined can make at maximum 500k queries a day. There is also a per-user limit of 5 queries per second which you can change in the console (console.developers.google.com). If you need more queries per day, you can submit a quota request through the console.
3, 4: yes, you can certainly use javascript. There is no difference in limits for server vs. client apps.
For 1 and 2 the current quotas (set maximum by default) are as follows:
Queries per day: 1,000,000
Queries per 100 seconds per user: 500

We are using google analytics on our website to record the statistics. however, we need to show the total visits is it possible to show from google analytics API? TIA
Im not sure where you want to show the total visits but if its on your website you need to remember a few things about the Google Analytics api.
The first being that there is a data latency which means that it takes between 24 -48 hours for your data to complete processing. If you attempt to request say the current visits for today then the number will not be correct. You could request the number of vists for say three days ago and get back a number that is stable.
The other issue you are going to have is with quota. If you intend to load this from the API everytime a user visits your website they you will quickly run out of quota as you can only make 10k requests against a view in a single day so depending upon how many times this page is loaded this may not work for you.
An idea would be to load the data once at night and store the data in your database some place and then load from that as then you are only making a single request to the api and are unlikely to run out of quota.

Yes, just get ga:sessions metric defining the time interval that interests you.

I am trying to build an application using Google Analytics real-time API. So, I see this quota limit at 50,000/project. I am aware of 10,000/Google Analytics View limit. So, based on these values, my application can handle only 5 users/day.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there any workaround for this?
Its 50,000 API calls per day to query your data, not for collecting data.
What is this 10,000 Google Analytics View limit you refer to? It is not listed on the GA quotas and limits page
There is a 10million hits per month limit per web property, if you go over that then they ask you pay for GA360
Google document Google Calendar API Usage Limits states 1M queries per day. Is the quota per project or per service account/client? I know it is possible to request increase of quota, but want to know if multiple service accounts can each have 1M queries per day.
Most Quotas are project based. So if you have a single project on google developer console and you create six service accounts they will all be using the same quota.
If you create two projects on google developer console and create a service account on each then they will each have their own quota.
You may still want to apply for the extension it doesn't cost anything but it can take a while to get approved.
What is the Google Analytics Management Write API quota limit? Is it 50 requests per day or 500, because the documentation states that it is 50 requests per day but when I'm filling the quota augmentation demand form, it says that it's 500 requests.
50 requests seem to be too low and it is the case for my project.
On the other hand, where can I check my daily usage of write requests? The console usage tab doesn't show it.
EDIT: Here is a screenshot of the Google Form to demand an increase in quota limits
Google form quota limits
Google Management Write API is at 500 requests per day.
The quota limits depend a lot upon which methods you are using. Please consult the Quota Limits documentation.
The following quotas apply to Management API, Core Reporting API v3, MCF Reporting API, Metadata API, User Deletion API, and Real Time Reporting API:
50,000 requests per project per day, which can be increased.
10 queries per second (QPS) per IP address.
In the API Console, there is a similar quota referred to as Requests per 100 seconds per user. By default, it is set to 100 requests per 100 seconds per user and can be adjusted to a maximum value of 1,000. But the number of requests to the API is restricted to a maximum of 10 requests per second per user.
If your application makes all API requests from a single IP address (i.e., on behalf of your users), use the userIP or quotaUser parameter with each request to get full QPS quota for each user. See the standard query parameters summary for details.
Write APIs
These quotas apply to the write (insert, update, patch, and delete) requests:
50 write requests per project per day, which can be increased
1.5 queries per second (QPS) per Account ID
actually quota
response from Google
the default quota is 50.
There used to be a whitelist so it was effectively 0 until you got whitelisted and then it was 500 (once whitelisted). We removed the whitelist and reduced it to 50 so that people can use the API without having to wait to be whitelsited. If they need more they can request additional quota.
I wonder exactly the same. I wish to get my write quota increased to 500.
From my experience, the usage of your write requests is under "Queries per day". This morning I only made 50 write requests and it now shows 50/50 000 queries for today. Doesn't really make sense...
This post won't clear up the write quota but it will show a source of the confusion - hopefully Google will clarify this
This api-quota-faqs page clarifies a number of ambiguities regarding quotas and batching (e.g. batching doesn't help with the Management API write quota).
But the 50 vs 500 ambiguity is currently still perpetuated: The current version of that page shows "Last updated April 13, 2018":
What is the maximum quota increase limit for Management API write requests?
The maximum daily quota per project for Management API write requests is 500. We normally don't grant more than 1,000 to 2,000 write requests per project per day. In some cases, we grant higher limits temporarily. Please include your justification in the quota increase request form.
That page is required reading before submitting the form to request an increase but that shows 50 - see image
Our usage metrics shows 71 successful Management API write requests for the day but we still got write quota errors - so neither 50 nor 500 is validated.
Regarding finding the usage:
(I don't see our Management API write quota listed with the other quotas)
The traffic and error metrics are found at APIs & Services > Dashboard.

I am a developer and working on a website that uses Google Analytics standard account. I use core-analytics Apis (for .Net) for querying GA to fetch different details such as total page hits, unique page hits, avg. time spent on a page, last viewed date for each web object in the web site.
I need to make 2 queries for each web object to get all these details and we have a large number of such web objects to fetch data for. In past few days I have noticed that these statistics are not being retrieved for some objects. In the logs I found an exception “Quota Error: User Rate Limit Exceeded” which states that I am exceeding the quota limit.
When researched this error, I found that below are some threshold limits that are applicable to GA standard account:
General quotas:
50,000 requests per project per day
10 queries per second (QPS) per IP
Core reporting API quotas:
10,000 requests per view (profile) per day
10 concurrent requests per view (profile)
I am not sure if which of these quotas are being exceeded. But I suspect that either 10 QPS or 10,000 req/view is being exceeded.
Question 1 : Could you please let me know if there is any way by which I can increase these quota limits(even if it involves extra cost by switching to premium account).
Question 2 : If we cannot increase the quota, can anyone please guide me how can we fetch details such as total page hits, unique page hits, avg. time spent on a page, last viewed date in a single query instead of two.
Please let me know in case you need any other details from my end.
First off you cant increase either the 10 queries per second (QPS) per IP or 10,000 requests per view (profile) per day
If you rerun the request and it doesn't work then you may be hitting the 10,000 requests per view (profile) per day once you hit that its not going to work again for that profile until the next day.
If you are unable to make any requests against any views then you are probably hitting the 50 k limit which you can request an extension of. It normally takes a month or so to get an extension.
As for the 10 requests a second I suggest you slow down your application and make sure that you aren't running to fast. You can also add quota user which can help with that.
