Is there specification for this google API?

Question

I want an API that given a specific substring of a region, say kem, it'll give things like kemayoran, or kentucky.

I found one here: http://maps.google.com/maps/suggest?q=k&cp=2&hl=en&gl=&v=2&clid=1&json=a&ll=-6.230664,106.55365&spn=0.498289,0.276031&src=1&num=20&numps=10

The result is here:

That is almost perfect. The catch i I do not know the latitude and longitude. It seems that 0x2c4c07d7496404b7:0xe37b4de71badf485 somehow encode those 2 numbers. However, I do not know.

Anyone knows the spec for that API? Is that private API?

Answer 1

That is private API for only use maps.google.com. If your application or program access to the access point continuously, your access would deny from Google.

Google provides official APIs for REST, you should use these APIs. https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/webservices/
