google coordinates

Is there an easy way of retrieving a lot of coordinates at once for google?

I have a list of postal codes which I need coordinates of ...

I already have a script which gets one by one the coordinates ...

Problem with this is that somehow Google does not like it to have something like 70.000 or even more requests behind eachother.
Now I got 14.000 coordinates of the 70.000 ...

Don't seem to find a way of getting the complete list at once ...

Anyone familiar with this problem??

The solution I made was getting 15.000 postcodes per day (they maximum of requests google maps has per day for retrieving coordinates), including a sleep since the speed of the requests may not be done to fast.

I cut up the postcode list in more smaller lists and each day I run one list with my script so each day I get about 15.000 coordinates ...

It takes some time, but this list wont change in time only grow ...

This was the only way since there are indeed restrictions of the amount per day and the speed of requesting.

Thanks all for thinking with me!
