Est. photo spend
A place has up to 10 photos. Google never returns a usable image
URL — only a resource name — so cache_places resolves each
name to a keyless CDN URL on demand and serves it through the
/v1/photo proxy. The first view of a
given photo+size is one billed Place Photos call; the resolved URL
is cached in resolved_photos, so every later view is
free. Rotted URLs self-heal (re-resolved on next request).
You pay per photo viewed, once — not per photo
stored, not per GetPlace. The first
1,000 resolves each month are free, and the rate
drops with volume. Photo spend is shared (an <img>
load carries no api key), so it's tracked here rather than in the
per-tenant Cost tab.
| Monthly resolves | Price / 1,000 |
|---|---|
| 0 – 1,000 | free |
| 1,001 – 100,000 | $7.00 |
| 100,001 – 500,000 | $5.60 |
| 500,001 – 1,000,000 | $4.20 |
| 1,000,001 – 5,000,000 | $2.10 |
| 5,000,000 + | $0.53 |
x-api-key — treat it like a password. The public key (cppk_…) is safe to embed in browser ?pk= photo URLs. Both also appear in the list below.
