Getting information of a panoram in google street view python

Question

I'm using the following url to get important information of one latitud-longitud coordinate points in google street view.

http://maps.google.com/cbk?output=xml&ll=....

Specifically I need to know what is the real coordinates for google street view for a GIVEN pair of coordinates.

In the Python API there is not how to access to this information.

For example:

http://maps.google.com/cbk?output=xml&ll=46.414382,10.013988 For the (latitud,longitud)=(46.414382,10.013988)

This is the only way I found to do it in Python. My question is, is it legal to use this url to get this information?

Thank you so much

From the Google Maps API TOS: 10.4d

No use of Content without a Google map. Unless the Maps APIs Documentation expressly permits you to do so, you will not use the Content in a Maps API Implementation without a corresponding Google map. For example, you may display Street View imagery without a corresponding Google map because the Maps APIs Documentation expressly permits this use.

I'm not sure if the endpoint you mention is explicitly documented and use without a map is allowed somewhere in the API docs, if not, I think 10.4d applies and you are not allowed to use it.
