perlmonkdr has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hellooouu Dears Monks!!!!!!

I'm want to know if Google has limit of queries per second for an IP? I have created a small script in Perl that sends 200 equal queries with threads and all has given back correctly the same….

I remember one time that by network problems google put a page to me that warned the existence of a virus in my PC but I have not been able to reproduce the scene… I think were many calls but more than 200?

What happens then with an ISP that have private IP? all block, mmmm..... don't belive...!!.. isn't it?

I'm not use the google API becouse is for AJAX and no more account for SOAP.

Thk in advance

PD: And because I still stagnant, if someone has more suggestions, comments and / or examples, of this http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=656004 are welcome too :-D.

    That limit and virus check was added because of the worm Perl.Santy AFAIK. It was using Google as a tool to spread. Was a clever code too :)

      Thank you, I knew that google imposed limits but could not find it.

      Thanks again and go points.

    Ask google, IIRC, you're violating their TOS.

      Generally I am careful to look before asking, it seems that this might not chose the correct keywords, sorry i'm human :-), but please note that their browser inflinge the TOS in strict sense also and I do not see that you no longer use it for his words.

      My script is far from violating the TOS according achievement interpret, becouse it's not a gateway.

      Thanks for your concern

      Best Regards

        You misunderstand, google company has paid support staff, they're not called perlmonks
