Question

I am getting the following error when I make Shopping API calls: <Errors> <ShortMessage>IP limit exceeded.</ShortMessage> <LongMessage>Applications from this IP address are limited in the number of calls they can make.</LongMessage> <ErrorCode>1.21</ErrorCode> <SeverityCode>Error</SeverityCode> <ErrorClassification>RequestError</ErrorClassification> </Errors> How should I resolve this error?

Answer

Summary

When you join the developers program and get your keyset, you can make 5,000 Shopping API calls every day:

If you are building a server side application and need more than 5,000 calls a day, you can file a Application Growth Check request to get higher call limits.
