I am developing mobile application which using google maps and I want to find users current address with device latitude and longitude (Reverse geocoding).
Google have some limits and it will charge me once I go beyond it.
Now I am looking on OpenStreetMap, it is open to use in public. And I can use Reverse geocoding with it.
e.g. http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=xml&lat=20&lon=71&zoom=18
My question is,
1). Is there any limit to make these calls per day?
2). Do I need to register somewhere ?
3). Is there any other alternatives available ?
Thnks in advance
Check the Nominatim Usage Policy
If you exceed the limits given there one of your options is to run your own instacne
There are also ready-to-run Docker images available on Docker Hub
Yes, they do have a limitation on the service. Check out the page here: Usage policy
And from Sep 15, 2015. You need to register before you could use the service, check out the page here: Registration page
Also, you could install a local nominatim here: Installation page
Check out the github page: Github page
Anyway, if it doesn't work, you could try a bunch of different geocoders, like: Pelias from mapzen, Photon, OpenCage Geocoder. Good luck geocoding!

I am new to open trip planner (and OpenStreetMap too), and I would like to use it in a web application, where I would let the user choose preferred options (like travel mode) and even use tags to create a personal route.
Following the tutorial Basic Usage, I've run the jar file and now I have an instance of OTP running on localhost correctly.
Now, how can I integrate it on a web app and let the user use it? I couldn't find any tutorial about that. Also, I have some other doubts:
I've downloaded GTFS for Venice, but what do I have to do if I wanted to work with multiple locations?
Since I have to download also OpenStreetMap data for the same region as the GTFS file (as explained in the tutorial above), again, how it is possible to integrate all the files to, let's say, visualize the roads and create travels on an entire nation?
How can I use OSM tags to personalize journeys?
I know this is a lot, but I really don't know where to start. Any help, tutorial or guide link would be truly appreciated.
OTP comes with a default web application that is available after starting the server if you go to localhost:8080. This is explained in the Basic Usage section of the docs.
As for the rest of your question, I'd recommend looking at the Configuration section of the docs.
Imagine I am a user/Uber driver, how can I use the Uber API to get my current location and plot the location on the map? I want to track the user on the map. All this to be done using Python API.
The API endpoint /requests/current responds with a location object including lat & lng values. You could use these for your mapping feature. Otherwise, there's another method /requests/{request_id}/map that responds with a URL to a map provided by the API.
As for Python, the SDK provides you the above-mentioned methods:
get_current_ride_details
get_ride_map
Through Python you can their IP address to track their location. This question talks about how to use FreeGeoIP to track their location. Using the IP address won't be perfectly accurate, so if you need a more accurate representation, you'll need a way to interact with the GPS system on a device. This question has an example of using Android and Python together, and agraebe mentioned you can use the HTML5 Geolocation features in his comment. Pythonista looks like a Python IDE for IOS that has a locations service. I don't have much experience with these, but I hope some of these resources help.
I am currently working on a personal project to develop a REST API which would perform tasks similar to what UBER, OLA like taxi aggregators do. Below is the brief about the functionality that I plan to add:
1)I have a fleet of cabs whose location is determined by its latitude and longitude.
2)A customer can call one of the cabs by providing their location and my API should assign the nearest cab available.
This I suppose would be accomplished by using Google Map APIs. My question is how do i start on using these APIs, to simulate such functionality?
You may use the following references:
Choose from the Google Maps APIs documentations depending on your needs. There are actually tutorials given within the documentations.
Answers to Frequently Asked Questions will also help especially the getting started part to fully understand how Google Maps APIs work.
Last but definitely not the least, this example in GitHub might help you exactly on the implementation.
Can Google cloud storage be used in such an application without a proper http server (Traditional LAMP stack, GAE, etc.)?
If you're having a hard time wrapping your head around "static data powered application", think of it like a blog where you can only read the blog posts (i.e. no likes,comments or any kind of interaction) and which is managed by only one person who updates, adds or removes those blog posts.
The main concerns that I have are :
Read-only access from JavaScript at client side
Prevention against abuse (Does google automatically detect and ban an IP when it sends too many requests, so that the IP can't abuse bandwidth?)
I did some basic digging around the docs, but couldn't find the answer to these, possibly because not many have tried this, I guess.
The access question is already answered by Paul. You can add "read" permission to all users for your object. If you want to do so for all objects in a bucket, you can also set the default object ACL for the bucket to contain such permission.
Google does have abuse protection, but it's not designed for a specific service or resource, and the bar is pretty high given Google's global scale, so it probably won't help your specific use case.
Unfortunately you cannot set a maximum daily spending yet. The Google cloud platform team is always working on new features to help customers solve these issues, but I cannot comment on specific feature or timeline.
here is a old version:https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CAS/Using+CAS+without+the+Login+Screen
I need to do the same with that latest version of CAS i.e. 3.5 . Can anyone provide me the steps for the same
We are doing now basically what you're asking here in my company. We have a Sharepoint website that in background is using the RESTful services for doing the real login. I wrote some posts about them in my blog and recently we used it to get access from a iOS application which contains a link to a sample program.
Important!!! We have a modification in our CAS that offers the possibility to use it for more than one domain. So wherever you find a reference to something called "Domain" in my samples just remove it, as it will not work on standard CASes
Here is a nice solution to your problem.
Just enable restful access.
