Welp, now Google will lock this API down soon.

This API is hit on every search keystroke in modern browsers with a small debounce delay, so its tolerance to frequent requests will be pretty high.

How would they, without impairing normal users? You need an API for the public that allows you to get suggestions rather quickly without an API key, for all the users that are not logged into their Google account.

Probably the same way they lock down Google search from too many HTTP requests.

[Cthulhu_]

Yeah I'm sure there's a reasonable flood control on that endpoint, which for project like this probably won't kick in.

[mdoms]

Captcha? This won't work for their regular use cases.

[awb]

Probably server-side rate limiting based on IP.

[Kiro]

This API has been well-known forever.
