Panoramio - Will I be able to use 'get_panoramas.php' after November 4th 2016?

I saw the deprecation message and the blog post by Google and I'm completely stumped on what will continue to work and what not.

I don't upload images to my account. I understand that this service will no longer be available.

What I do use, is this api: http://www.panoramio.com/map/get_panoramas.php, for showing images near locations on my website.

Will I be able to keep using it?

If so, until when? And shouldn't that be clearly stated?

If not, is there a parallel Google Maps api to get such images? I'm aware of Google Locations api, but I'm more interested in nearby outdoors images, and not places of business and named land marks.

Thank you.

UPDATE: as stated in the comment, the service is indeed down. The image urls we already have are still operational for another year, but we can't search for other existing images anymore. So we made the transition to Flickr. It was very easy and it works great.

It is stated in the link that you provide that after November 4, 2016, you’ll continue to have access to your photos in Panoramio for a year, but take note that you will no longer be able to add new photos, likes, or comments.

I suggest you to check this Google Static Maps API, it lets you embed a Google Maps image on your web page without requiring JavaScript or any dynamic page loading. The Google Static Maps API service creates your map based on URL parameters sent through a standard HTTP request and returns the map as an image you can display on your web page.
