The Geocoding API uses a true rate limit. I would guess the static maps API does the same. In other words, since there are 86,400 seconds per day, your requests would have to be spaced at approximately one per 3.5 seconds.
That said, I have a hard time imagining such an application which would conform to all the other terms and conditions in the TOS. I would suggest reading through the TOS, making certain that your application is in compliance, and then - if it is - adjust your timing. jg On Mon, Jan 7, 2013 at 10:10 AM, nata <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I have a script where I am doing 1 request of an image every second. > Something like this: > > http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=44.058683,-70.861028&zoom=12&size=640x640&maptype=roadmap&sensor=false&format=png32 > > I can only download about 250 images and then I get the HTTP 403 status.
