Converting Google map links to long/lat

[Vaidya]

Hi,

I am trying to get long/lat from Google map links of pins using python and am facing some challenges.

Does anyone know a clean way to get the lat/long from the links?
I tried using requests.get and parsing the final url.
Some of them work and show a lat-long in the URL, but some resolve to addresses. 

I think it depends on how the pin was dropped.

Examples:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/GF7UUbYcc4L2wVJV9?g_st=ic resolves to a url that does not have lat-long.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/DkRaEGPcPuyA6XFA8 - this does.
 

If anyone has already solved this and can help that would be great. Have tried googling, but not able to find a working answer.

Thanks,
Vaidya

Look in the URL?

Hi,

The above link stops one short on libraries like requests.get.

Even through the browser you can see it resolving a few seconds later.

Need a programmatic response to resolve to the final url, if such a thing is available on python.

Thanks,
Vaidya

You might have to use a webdriver. Selenium and Python combo might work.

If you want to scrap it for a region or a category I could provide you data cant say it is open source as it is scrapped and cleaned up. No licence.

Thanks all.

I was looking for the mechanism, not a specific map. 

I tried Thejesh's suggestion with a 5s sleep and it worked.

This query is now resolved.

Thanks,
Vaidya
