What's the api behind the google maps search box? Is there server side API from google services which third party can use?
Thanks
For the "seach box" on http://maps.google.com (not the Google Maps Javascript API v3 SearchBox), there is no API that exposes that complete functionality. It is a combination of the Geocoding API, the Places API and other proprietary Google search results

Is the link below a valid web api for google maps
http://cbk0.google.com/
I use that link to get a xml values for certain location(lat and long) to check if there is a web view available.
For example:
http://cbk0.google.com/cbk?output=xml&ll=22.33419,114.145635
If that link is valid. It is free to use it? what I mean here is if it has limit on how many times is allowed to access to that web service. I saw this page https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/usage#usage_limits stating that only 1000 is limit for 24 hours. Is it applicable for that link?
Usage limits apply to the following Maps APIs as already answered in Which Google Maps APIs have usage limits?:
Google Maps JavaScript API
Google Static Maps API
Google Street View Image API
Google Maps Directions API
Google Maps Distance Matrix API
Google Maps Elevation API
Google Maps Geocoding API
Google Maps Geolocation API
Google Maps Roads API
Google Maps Time Zone API
I notice you can enable sign-in with the Google Maps V3 API. I wondered, is it possible to display a map created under a users My Maps service on a map configured through the V3 API?
I'm not so sure it is possible having had a hunt around on the web, so thought I'd ask here.
Thanks
According to the KML files on Google Maps, you can upload a KML file to my maps and at the same time, Google Maps v3 API.
but there is no mention about displaying my maps directly on v3.
However you can try figure out how to get mid and lid programmatically and regenerate the share url.
I have read your answer on this.
Maps API keys for geocoding not working anymore?
Currently I am trying this:
https://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=n&sensor=true&key=apikeygoeshere
Giving me error:
This API project is not authorized to use this API.
Please suggest how can I complete my app. I am searching locations for my App.I can buy business plan later but for now I need to test for development.
I have following services on:
Google Maps Coordinate API, Google Maps Engine API, Google Maps Geolocation API, Google Maps JavaScript API v3, Google Maps SDK for iOS, Places API.
What you are referring to is not the Geolocation API. It is the Geocoding API. You need to enable the Geocoding API in your console. Please see the documentation.
Visit the APIs console at https://code.google.com/apis/console and log in with your Google Account.
Click the Services link from the left-hand menu in the APIs Console, then activate the Geocoding API service.
Hope this helps.
Try this URL,
You Don't have to enter API Key in URL
Just pass lat,lng in URL through a variable
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=-34.78,138.519&sensor=false
When you put your location (Capital Area Soccer League) in google map search, google plots the location in the map if it finds a correct geocodes but if it does not finds proper geocodes for the searched location then it shows suggestions of corrects locations in the dropdown. When you choose any of the locations from the dropdown - it has the correct lat long (geocodes) so it plots that in the map correctly.
So you should not use geocodes in the search rather open up a suggestions dropdown and when click on any of the suggested location then you have correct geocodes to plot in the map.
How I can get coordinates (lat,lon) of route from url generated by google (like: http://goo.gl/maps/1gpxk).
Is there an API for that or anything else?
Thanks.

I want to use Google maps API. I looked at: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/ and I saw that there are different APIs:
The Google Places API
The Google Places-Autocomplete API
The Google Maps JavaScript API v3, and more
Can I use all of them in Eclipse with JavaScript? Or only the Google Maps JavaScript API v3?
Does the Google Maps JavaScript API v3 include the the Google Places API and the Google Places-Autocomplete API?
You should definitely use v3 - the others are deprecated and at some point will not be supported and may not even be available.
From https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/places:
The Places service is contained within a self-contained library,
separate from the main Maps API JavaScript code.
You just need to include another script reference to get the additional Places library, and it includes Places Autocomplete.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?libraries=places&sensor=true_or_false"></script>
