Is there a limit on how many API calls I can make per day?

You are required to select a max daily budget when you sign up. This budget sets the daily API call limits for your account and helps you avoid a large bill if your usage unexpectedly increases. You can always modify your daily budget on the My Plans page after you sign up. Any call made beyond the daily limit will get back a response with status code 429 (Too Many Requests). Daily limits are reset every midnight UTC time.
For the Search APIs, you can make up to 10000 calls per day.
