Paid on delivery
We are having a running application and website for bookings and reservations. we were shocked last month with the Google Geocoding API bill amount, the Geocoding API was requested 41000+ times in one day, and then averaging 10,000+-. our problem is that whenever a search is done in our site or application, Geocoding API's request is done multiple times. IF the searcher entered the search result page then go back to the search page to look for another result, another Geocoding API request is done again, causing us to have 20+ Geocoding API request per normal event/visit. we are looking for a proposed guaranteed solution to minimize the Geocoding API request per event/visit.

I have over 5 years developing mobile applications in different sectors. From your description it sounds like you will need to cache the results from the search instead of making a fresh call to the API when the customer goes back to the search page. This will ensure that the API is only called when someone enters something in the search. Once the results are cached then that is what should be loaded on the page instead of a call being done again to the API. A new call to the API should only happen if someone enters something in the search box. This should reduce the number of API calls. This will require a review of the search code for both the app and the website to see the best way of implementing the change without disruptions. Thank you for your consideration. I hope to hear back from you.

Hi, it is a tricky situation you have there! It might be a bug in the system, should it be a server (back-end) we can cache easily {great if you have a cloud plan} from my experience with google's geolocation API services, there is possibility that the client (web|mobile apps) could potentially need to enable cookies. I can offer you lasting solution depending on the hosting plans you have for your server. Thus, feel free to to inbox me that we can chat more solutions for your setup architecture, look at the issue and hopefully begin the work not less than 24 hrs. {my working time = GMT +3hrs}
