As I am aware of the limitations listed here, I need to receive some clarifications on the quota limit. I'm using the Node.js library to make a simple asynchronous speech-to-text API, using a .raw file which is stored in my bucket. After the request is done, when checking the API Manager Traffic, the daily requests counter is increased by 50 to 100 requests. I am not using any kind of requests libraries or other frameworks. Just the code from the gCloud docs.
var file = URL.bucket + "audio.raw"; //require from upload.
speech.startRecognition(file, config).then((data) => {
var operation = data[0];
operation.on('complete', function(transcript) {
console.log(transcript);
});
})
