A follow-up on Yesterday's post.All of a sudden the agent which was collecting the google queries has started returning SOAP faults. I hope I haven't inadvertently violated any terms and conditions that led to google cancelling my license! One other person on the google-api newsgroup had the same problem (and no solution!).

Later...

As mysteriously as it started, the problem seems to have gone away by itself. I guess thats why they call the service a "beta" service.

And Later... -- resolved

Turns out, the service does misbehave often. Yesterday's outage seems to have affected quite a few people, going by the number of posts on this issue since yesterday, on the googleAPI newsgroup :

Fault String = Exception from service object: Intern... , Error in API , Google key failed to reset on 1/17
