I just decide between GSS (Google Site Search) and CSE (Custom Search Engine) with the JSON API. But I'm a little confused about invoicing the JSON API.
My approved initial budget is $ 100 per year, which allows 20,000 requests per year in GSS, but how many requests will I receive in the JSON API and how do I set a quota so that it does not exceed the budget?
I have an opinion on how Google does billing:
The price of one request is $ 0.005 = $ 5/1000 requests => https://developers.google.com/custom-search/json-api/v1/overview#pricing
Google adds daily requests (more than 100 free), and then creates a monthly billing. Therefore, my quota should be set equal to 154 (100 free + 54):
54 requests per day * 31 days * 12 months = 20,088 requests * $ 0.005 = $ 100.44, which is the maximum I will pay (possibly less).
I'm right? Or does Google do billing differently?
