<![CDATA[Google maps API key]]>Hi, guys! I’m asking for help about google api key because it only provides $200 per year, so it’s about 4 requests in a day. What shall I change in this module MMM-MyCommute to make more requests. Maybe it will ask other sites. It’s perfectly for me to get a request to this Yandex map.

That said, I don’t understand why they are making it so complicated (with this odd $200 voucher per month) and uncomprehensive.

Consider switching to Mapbox or HERE.

Painful, wish there was some better documentation as to what to do on googles end.

Because google changed his rules few months ago and I can’t find right information about it.

I THINK you can use the Google maps API unlimited for this purpose for your $200-but-free-subscription. You don’t need to consider limiting to a few calls per day. It is a bit oddly presented by google.

Please confirm someone.

It will show traffic as well, right? Do you know what exactly i need to do to set it up so that it’s only the one call a day needed? and for the life of me i just can’t figure out how to set it up on the google console to limit it so i dont go over 200 per year. I know i need billing added which is fine, but i am concerned as to how many requests im making through the mirror. I just want to make sure that whatever i install is literally just 1 per day allowed.

You can use MMM-MyCommute with a free Google API can’t you? I used it for months, but not currently.
Are we talking about the same module/API?

@ooom416354 MMM-MyCommute should be perfectly suitable for you

I’m currently using MMM-Traffic and it was able to pull general data but not include any actual commute times based on traffic. Is there a step by step place I can go to to configure billing for my project and also set up some sort of quota so that it just stops working when I hit $200? In reality, I really just need one request a day at 6 AM to show the commute time when I leave, nothing more than that at all. Is that possible as well to configure that in my module (or another module if not possible with this one?)

And this is the problem. I can add pollFrequency but it will cost $7 per 1000 requests. I’m trying to find free solution

pollFrequency: 600000,
