title: Google Fonts API usage limits
body: <p>I am researching the best way to use non-standard webfonts on a high-traffic site.</p>
  
  <p>Really it comes down to whether we use a service such as Typekit / Google or serve the fonts ourselves.</p>
  
  <p>The terms of use on Typekit are clear, but with Google I cannot find any information about:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>uptime</li>
  <li>how many times a day / month I can request the font</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any information on this, or experience of using in on a site with a lot of traffic?  The terms of service just points you to Google's generic APIs Terms of Service.</p>
  
  <p>In these terms it states:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>API Limitations</p>
    
    <p>Google may set limits on the number of API requests that you can make,
    at its sole discretion. You agree to such limitations and will not
    attempt to circumvent such limitations.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But this is very broad - there doesn't seem to be any indication of what the limitation is, other than it <em>may</em> be limited.</p>
