Json data of a Google Map Engine Lite


Is there a correct way to get the json data of a map from Google Map Engine Lite? I know that for maps that are not "lite" I can use the API access but I can't figure out how to access the data in a lite map. I am thinking of scraping the data but wanted to know if there is a better way.


Solution

  • Unfortunately, as of right now there is no possible way to extract data from Maps Engine Lite in JSON form. However there is a free tier on the "platform" (non-Lite) Maps Engine product that will allow API access. There's more info on the landing page.
