I write a program in python and want to check the internetconnection in a loop. i do this with requests modul in python and all works fine but my question is, how many requests are allowed per day, or hour. At the moment i check the connection every 2 seconds so every 2 seconds google gets a request from my ip. Thats make more than 40,000 requests a day, if my software runs 24 hours. Is this a problem? I cant use proxies because i will not have access or control about the computer or settings of them when my software finally runs by the customer.

There are rate limits on all google public and internal apis.

However, documentation does not clearly spell out whats the exact rate limit on google.com

If you want to check connectivity, it might be better to use DNS servers such as 1.1.1.1

If you want programmatic access to google.com, you should rather use search API at https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/overview
