Quota defeating / Authentication

Hello!

I’ve been wondering about overcoming the Quota problem. Currently, I cannot really run any of the calls without getting the Quota error - the first request I did today got the error. Then sometimes it works, other times it doesn’t.

I read some suggestions by others about overcoming this by doing a request to login and grabbing the cookies, then sending those cookies with the request to the API so that it thinks you’re authenticated and the quota is not so tight.

Not sure if anyone has tried this yet or found other ways to overcome the quota errors?

After grabbing my cookies from the browser after doing a search on google trends, I added them to the trendData.js request and it does actually appear to work, something like this allows me to make more regular requests;

( I have obfuscated the real cookie values )

rp( {
	uri: 'http://www.google.com/trends/fetchComponent?q="' + keyword + '"&cid=TIMESERIES_GRAPH_0&export=3',
	headers: {
		'Cookie': 'APISID=phZcBBd_oF_clAao/A2biC9KLw1Wk42F4H; GMAIL_RTT=223; HSID=AvCAPi1_gcLNPHp04; NID=90\=ljp9bPedFIvbHjyJu_ASSrzAyOjG8bql-141rlIlMUAFUl2whg2O7g6u8Fa0_I5Nf3WteTzfPF4UEp1K5BZw_FLqRXrpdICasdbkRT24zGGkdJHloBLmNZ55hJb2EgUtfsglxlevfPTIeM5bSZ0SmQejORetaXY_yWUvLxQ5NgsxFjMw8eBuqFYruG3aOMhK4jCrc2p8evYPwLMU5t5z1YqdjvBsJw0pWHTHpM7WWWqHhEVvPgZh8SwvAdCTMidd4Q9TTa3bX77lA8hG_kvcaXGApb1ppelSHCE607viCgNYy4pBHAMYypWW9cgX_WxwOmhzvbSjNn21gJZw6TUkadGhEt8vWYjbJUW7q; SAPISID=cZpNlAneFfMDfB3FLx/AB-QxJFQYeWxEY6zB; SID=7gOUsm_siHAB7zmta3cPjuZM-Nos7Ok4pEekdyB_DPpWH3CspzMf4fxnJ7QoWelTrapcMg.; SSID=ASVarA9Iip_lMFg-w;'
			}
});

How reliable this method will be, I’m not sure. Regardless I think something will need to be built in to any app using this to detect the quota and retry later.

@pat310 Going to probably get a chance to look into this over the next couple of weeks so will keep you posted! Need to come up with a proof of concept for a reliable way of utilising this.

I’m off to Vietnam for a couple of weeks on Friday so won’t get a chance to implement it properly, however I may get a chance when I’m back 👍
