I am trying to get elevation data set along a route using Google maps API python client. When i request for a thousand coordinates, after a certain limit, an exception is raised.
for i in range(1000):
eljson = gmaps.elevation(list_coordinates[i])
**raise googlemaps.exceptions.Timeout()**
Is it because I'm exceeding usage of 2500 api requests or the rate of requests is high and have to slow down the requests per second ?
Most probably yes. You can verify it by logging into your account at below link
I had a similar error, and after following suggestions online, still didn't figure out why that happened (didn't seem like I was blocked, or reached a maximum). for me the problem was that the internet connection was interrupted. Restarting the kernel solved the problem.
Friendly suggestion: if it was not already done, before you restart the kernel, save/export the points you already got, otherwise you'll have to call the api for them again... can sum-up if this is a reoccurring problem...
EDIT:
In fact, this doesnt fully solve the problem as I still get this error:
ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', ConnectionResetError(54, 'Connection reset by peer'))
for this, the following was helpful: Python client error 'Connection reset by peer'
