Export Google map directions to lat/long

I have multiple sets of lat/long coordinates that I am using in the Google directions API with way points to get directions following roads and paths. Each set of coordinates have about 100 points which I am converting to a usable number for the start, end and waypoints.

I would like to get the lat/long values from the directions which are returned from Google. Basically get each coordinate from each road segment.

Is this possible?

Yes, by using the direction API, you would get a respond like this:

{
  "status": "OK",
  "geocoded_waypoints" : [
     {
        "geocoder_status" : "OK",
        "place_id" : "ChIJ7cv00DwsDogRAMDACa2m4K8",
        "types" : [ "locality", "political" ]
     },
     {
        "geocoder_status" : "OK",
        "place_id" : "ChIJ69Pk6jdlyIcRDqM1KDY3Fpg",

}

Where you can get the lat/lng of each turning points under steps. You can even decode the polyline to get the set of points which describe the road.
