I'm planning a project that makes a certain class of products easy to customize and buy, and I need to use the google shopping API to get product info, reviews etc. displayed actively on the page.

I'm not a very technical person, but I see that the API has a 2500 query limit per day per key. Has anyone here used the shopping API in a web app? Do you guys know of a work around to this limit? How do those shopping sites for generic misspelled products get around it?
 


Aren't their query limits key specific? So do people just get a bunch of Google accounts and use multiple keys/IPs?

the answer with google queries is always just proxies hitting public endpoints...their APIs have limits that aren't sustainable for real business

Look for their public endpoints instead of their API endpoints. An example is Page Speed...with an http request analyzer, you can discover their public JSON endpoint and can query it directly instead of using their bullshit API that allows 250 hits a day from one key.
