If I'm not wrong, adding details like your PAN and bank account etc should allow you to use pay-pal from india.
I already did that but paypal is not letting the transfers.

Google does give a lot of love to developers. AFAIK, they have dedicated developer teams for developer relations; just look at the quality of their API documentations and support. This one looks like a operations issue. Perhaps they do not have a corresponding relations team focused on operations support.
> Google does give a lot of love to developers. That simply isn't true. They have support for some very specific areas which they consider of specific importance (e.g. Android), for the rest you're left to rot. > Perhaps they do not have a corresponding relations team focused on operations support. This has nothing to do with ops, it's a developer needing a raise in his apps requests quota.

#33So before building something that relies on things entirely outside of your control, consider a few things and the effort it would take for each:
- Can you run it on something else (S3 is a good example - there are several API-compatible competitors) - Can you replace the service you're relying on with one of your own (e.g. building your own Google Reader sync API)
Then decide if it isn't worth building the whole thing yourself. Heck, you might even want to put an API on it yourself. Feel the power? :)
Oh, and never, ever rely on someone else doing authentication for you. It's just too easy to get your entire userbase taken away from you.

Current quota is 1m requests/day and that is enough to handle just 2000 users/day, because I sync gmail tasks every minute.
Is it possible to pay Google and receive a higher quota?

You should check out Bitcoin as a payment option, it was pretty much designed for your use case: http://www.weusecoins.com/en/ BitPay as a payment processor in particular: https://bitpay.com/
How are users supposed to get bitcoin? It's way too difficult right now compared to cash.

#37If you build something on someone else's API, you can get fucked in a million ways. They might shut down the API (Google Reader), take away the functionality you relied on (Google Calendar), limit it (Twitter) or deprecate the version you're using, forcing you to do development work to keep working at the worst possible time for you (IOS). They might also decide that your product is very good and build a version of i…

#39Doesn't Google have a way of paying for more usage of the API? I know the Maps Geolocation API does. Maybe I'm naive, but if you're using a free service of a mega-corp I would expect the customer service to be nil. Priority goes to the paying customers.

You can use Indian payment gateways like www.ccavenue.com . They can support Indian and foreign transaction.
