Google Maps Moves to Paid API Access 11th June
Posted: Wed May 02, 2018 7:53 pm
HI all,
see:
https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/ ... g-changes/
This is a fairly major change which will affect a number of plugins and websites/and multiple apps I suspect.
Google has moved away from free API usage and from the 11th June will now charge and requires VISA/Billing details for everyone using their service.
From my testing it would appear FindFriendsMini WILL go over the free limit if set to update every 5minutes. (this depends on numbers of geofences and friends you have setup)
This plan may change (?probably not it would seem), and I will have a think about the best way to move forward
Inital Options
re:
Counting all API calls and then limiting API access well under free-limit,
Using another API,
Disabling API access altogether and limiting some of the information we currently use.
