Extract Google Mymaps map names into JAVA or file

[Gonen]

2 questions please:

Is it possible for me to extract the Map names into Java vector or
file (so I will have a list of my Google Mymaps)?



Is it possible to get the <href> data - that is extracted when using
"View in Google Earth" button e.g.
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?l=en&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;oe=UTF8&amp;msa=0&amp;msid=117109785000783890896.00043bec67029aa8ce744&amp.....

without entering the browser ? e.g. directly from a Java script ?

thanks for reply !

Hi Gonen,

My Maps doesn't have an API directly, so you can't programattically
access the names of your maps.

I'm not sure what you're asking in your other question. It sounds like
you're asking if you can visit the href that is referenced by View in
Google Earth without a browser. When you click on View in Google
Earth, it downloads a KML file that has a <NetworkLink> file in it.
You could extract the href from and point to it with your application.
I believe, though, that all the ampersands are escaped, so you'd have
to replace each of these:
&amp;
with this:

thanks for reply.

as for question #1:
Do you have any idea how can I get my map names in other way ???
Do you think that there is achance that someone have an access to this
data somehow ?


as for question #2
this is exactly what I do today. I am looking for a method to provide
the map name and to get its <href> without clicking all the
buttons....

thanks again !

Hi Gonen,

At this point, there is no API for My Maps, which means that there is
no programmatic way of getting this data aside from screen scraping.
