Google Maps: Extract places from shared list

Edit: This doesn't work for lists > 20 items, because pagination does not work. Please see here

This script allows extracting name and coordinates for gmaps shared lists. It is incredibly unstable and may break anytime. Good luck figuring out why, because the syntax is extremely confusing and basically makes no sense at all. Thanks to google for not providing an api for this after LITERALLY 12 YEARS

How to use this script:

  1. Share a list and open the link in a browser window. It will redirect. The new link will look like this: google.com/maps/@<your coords>/data=....
  2. Take the data-portion and paste it into the following link: https://google.com/maps/@/data=?ucbcb=1

Introduction

It happens that there are many standards for storing cryptography materials (key, certificate, ...) and it isn't always obvious to know which standard is used by just looking at file name extension or file content. There are bunch of questions on stackoverflow asking about how to convert from PEM to PKCS#8 or PKCS#12, while many tried to answer the questions, those answers may not help because the correct answer depends on the content inside the PEM file. That is, a PEM file can contain many different things, such as an X509 certificate, a PKCS#1 or PKCS#8 private key. The worst-case scenario is that someone just store a non-PEM content in "something.pem" file.

The API docs from PM25.in translated from Chinese to English

In order to let even more people quickly access good PM2.5 data, we made the difficult decision to make our PM2.5 API free and open. Now, it’s more useful to developers.

Important

Read Before Applying

  1. Take the following disclaimers seriously；
  2. You must have programming skill, or have someone on your team who does;
  3. You must really understand how to use the API key. I must be convinced you have a programmer capable of seeing the API and knowing it. We don’t keep a copy of you’re private key, and there’s no way to recover it;
  4. Right now we don’t offer any historical data, we just offer the last hour of data. There’s no way for the API to get the data between two specified times;
