Is there any way to pass CSV files to Google maps engine ? (as a Query-string or some other methods)

Question

I have few CSV files created at random times with client addresses (less then 3000) on it. Can I send it to Google maps-engine to generate map-view? (trying to automate rather than dag-drop the file) Thanks

You can use the Maps Engine API to either insert rows to an existing table or upload data files (CSV, KML, shape files) to a new table.

The only catch here is that the API is only supported on the core "Maps Engine" product, not the Lite or Pro products. There is a free tier of the straight Maps Engine product if you want to experiment.
