title: Googletrans API error - daily limit or blocked IP?
body: <p>I am using the <code>googletrans</code> package.</p>
  
  <p>I have translated quite a lot of text by using it throughout the day today.</p>
  
  <p>I had splitted my text into tokens of less than 15k characters as the documentations implies and I was re-instanting the <code>Translator()</code> at each case.</p>
  
  <p>(Actually just to mention that, if I was not missing something, I had to split my text in smaller than 15k-char tokens e.g. 2k because I think that the package was returning me an error even with something like 10k-char tokens - I do not know why this was happening).</p>
  
  <p>Now I do the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from googletrans import Translator
  
  translator = Translator()      
  response = translator.translate('Is this working?', dest='fr')
  
  print(response.text)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and I directly get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why is this happening?</p>
  
  <p>Is it because there is (an unwritten - I have not seen on the docs) daily limit of usage of the package or my IP is permanently blocked?</p>
  
  <p>I saw a relevant discussion here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/49497391/9024698">GoogleTrans API Error - Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)</a>.</p>
