Is it possible to request a direction using direction services api of google map api version 3 and load that direction to my google account specifically to my places?
I need the references for that if possible :)
My Places currently doesn't have an API, so no it isn't possible.

I have a share google maps link like this: https://maps.app.goo.gl/rFtzbfFRr1aKTFJN6
Can I extract latitude a longitude coordinates from that, in console?
Thanks
Yes it is possible, the process you are talking about is referred to as reverse geocoding.
This is possible using google API and you should be able to find everything you need to do this in there documentation.

I'm trying to find in the Google Maps documentation a way to search for a place and get it's GeoJson polygon but I got no luck finding something like that.
My goal is to create a search bar to search places and then send the geojson polygon to our back-end. I don't want to draw it on a map or anything front-related.
Nominatim is doing exactly what I want but Nominatim policy is very restricted so before I go for an alternative, I wanted to check if Google Maps could provide the same (especially since searching for a country on Google Maps retrieve the polygon and draw it on the map).
Thanks for your help !
Unfortunately Google Maps APIs don't expose any polygons data of geographic features. You can see very old feature request in the Google issue tracker to add this functionality, however it looks like Google didn't set high priority on this task:

Feel free to star the public feature request to express your interest and subscribe to further updates from Google.
You should get polygons from other sources.
I have a google maps api where after displaying the map I am going to insert a few markers.
On click of these markers, I am bringing data regarding that marker.
Now the problem is I want the wind speed also for that marker .I got response from one of the architects in stackoverflow that google weather api is no
longer maintained by google and deprecated.
Is there any to achieve this without using any paid external plugins?
Have a look at the API from: http://openweathermap.org/ that should help you out.
I'm confused as to what Google Map API I will implement to my website regarding this plot.
1 - My admin user will set the address of a place on the google map (probably in textboxes)
2 - The users can view the place set by the admin and has already a marker in that specific place.
What are the differences between the v2 and v3?
Thanks for helping.
To use API V2 you need a key and now it's impossible to get one because API V2 has been officially deprecated as of May 19, 2010, just like Marcelo said as a comment of your question.
You will need to use Api V3. Check the Google Maps JavaScript API v3 for more details.
I've started developing a small app which main goal is to draw a map using Google Maps API (v3), and to show business in the area drawn (bars, restaurants and so on).
I found the Google Places API that was supposed to be released this month but it hasn't been. As far as I know the point of that API is to offer results from the Google's database of business, so later we could put those business in the map.
However now I've found this sample which is using the AJAX Search API and Local Search Control for Google Maps to do the same thing.
So the question is, what is the point of the new Google Places API?
Thank you in advance!
The Places API returns a list of locations near a specific lat/lng, while the Local Search API allows for an arbitrary search of Google's database of business listings and other POIs.
