Fortunately Google Maps' geocoding API limits still appear to be based on IP address. So if you do your API requests via client-side AJAX, you should be fine. That's because it's unlikely any individual user will make more than 25,000 requests in a day.


Almost: unfortunately via the terms, you need to display the geocoding results on a Google Map.

> Note: the Geocoding API may only be used in conjunction with a Google map; geocoding results without displaying them on a map is prohibited.

So, though the limit is technically lower, it's practically and legally quite the same.
