This document contains current content limits and rate quotas for the
Vision API Product Search. This page will be updated to reflect any changes to these
restrictions and usage limits.
Content limits
The Vision API Product Search enforces the following usage limits:
| Content Limit |
Value |
| Image file size |
20 MB |
| JSON request object size |
10 MB |
| Images per request |
16 |
Base64-encoded images may exceed the JSON size limit, even if they are within
the image file size limit. Larger images should be hosted on Cloud Storage or
at a publicly-accessible URL. Note that base64-encoded images can have a larger
file size than the original image file (usually about 37% larger).
Rate quotas
The current API usage quotas for the Vision API Product Search are as follows (and are
subject to change):
| General rate quotas |
|
| Query requests per minute |
1,800 |
| Resource management requests per minute (*see exception below) |
2,400 total |
| Images per feature per month |
No limit |
| Maximum number of product sets a product can belong to |
5 |
These limits apply to each Google Cloud console project and are shared across
all applications and IP addresses using that project.
Lower quotas can be set per user in the
Google Cloud console.
Quota increases
You can edit your quotas up to their maximum values by selecting
EDIT QUOTAS from the Quotas page of the
Google Cloud console page.
To request an increase above the maximum quota, edit your quota with your
requested increase and justification and submit your update. You will be
notified when your request has been received. You might be contacted for more
information regarding your request. After your request has been reviewed, you
will be notified whether it has been approved or denied.
