Hey @ZenithX9271,
Three months of API hunting? Yikes, I’ve been there—let’s get you unstuck! 😊 On your Google API question: if you’re seeing "<10,000 requests per month" in the Cloud Console, it depends on the API, but here’s the scoop. For Google Maps APIs (like Maps or Geocoding), they rolled out a new Essentials plan in March 2025—10,000 free calls per feature, every month, not just a one-month tease. Other Google APIs might have different free tiers (e.g., Photos API has a 10,000/day quota), but for Maps, it’s forever free under that limit. Autopay? Only if you’ve got billing enabled and go over—otherwise, you’re safe, no charges.
To use it, you’ll need to enable billing in the Console (just link a card, no upfront cost), but stay under 10,000, and it’s all free. I’ve leaned on Maps APIs for dynamic data myself—great for live maps or location lookups. Wanna try it? Set up a project in the Console, enable the Maps JavaScript API, grab your API key (under “Credentials”), and test this:
[javascript
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&callback=initMap" async defer></script>]
Head to “APIs & Services” > “Dashboard” to see your 10,000-call quota. If Maps isn’t your thing—or if it’s a different Google API—let me know what you’re building! Weather, locations, something else? I can point you to stuff like OpenStreetMap (free maps) or RapidAPI (tons of APIs) too.
- Thanks a lot!:)…On Fri, 7 Mar 2025 at 16:47, varun ***@***.***> wrote: Hey @ZenithX9271 <https://github.com/ZenithX9271>, Three months of API hunting?

Thanks a lot!:)
…Welcome
PLEASE READ
**Respected Author,
May I know that whether you had bought the Google API's or as mentioned in Google Console that one can use at free if the requests or <10,000 per month
Just to confirm that whether this free of cost if requests < 10,000 is forever or just for the first month and then AutoPay starts from then
Can you please clarify this
I'm literally searching for valid APIs to get the dynamic data for integrating it in my project from last 3 months, but there is no good source where I can get.
Can you kindly help me out**
