We did have an API that could access MyMaps. Unfortunately it has been deprecated. Please read the announcement for more information:
http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com/2010/11/maps-data-api-deprecation-announcement.html

I'm going to leave this feature request open, so we can gauge potential interest in such an API.

Maps Pro will have this functionality.

Leaving this one open to collect interest in this feature.

This is something very important and useful that all we have lost with this product.

Do you have any date for that "maps pro"?

Or any info at all, I'd add! These are news.

Yeah it would be good to have api to show layers and centre on shapes etc with my maps as well.

I chra

I'm particularly interested in displaying locations marked with pins in one of my MyMaps in my iOS app using the Google Maps SDK for iOS.

me to want to access mymaps on my android and windows apps

I had wondered why this wasn't available already, was deprecated it seems. I never got around to using a hack, abandoned project instead.

need js api for my maps too!

My maps are viewable in the google maps app for iOS but not editable. Would be good if could edit on ios app in conjunction with urcl scheme??

would love to have a api for mymaps to programmatically enter data

Any progress on this matter?

All I need is a programmatic way of adding a pin and some text to a map for a list of places. Surprised there is no API to do this obvious use case.

MyMaps API would be great.
I would use it for Zone management, in My Maps you can easily draw polygons.
I would like to know in which polygon a certain GPS position is.
i.e. I send a request with my coordinates, and MyMaps returns in which of my polygon(s)  the point is.

This would be an excellent tool for My Maps. I have a site at http://www.mapchannels.com which provides tools to embed My Maps with a range of custom options. However some of the recent changes in the KML generated by My Maps cause problems such as not being able to access the marker images and some place description data. Having an API to provide this data would help a lot and make possible extra features such as editing the My Maps data from a user-created map.

I'm trying to do something similar, use or embed My Maps with custom options where users/visitors to the website would be able to see a map of already listed properties and to upload a picture of new a property, with the location of the specific property and a short description if any that would be added to the existing map, and if they want to buy the dataset of properties listed in a specific location.
Similar to what I have done in an example using wordpress: https://unusedproperties.wordpress.com/show-map-2/  , but here I have had to use Picassa to upload the pics, which then I'd be able to get a link of the picture to use on My maps. So I want to skip the Picassa intermediary, and create the option for the user/visitor to take a picture with his phone, and upload that picture and location to the website.

I think a programmatic API for Google My Maps would be a very interesting feature.

Would love to tap into this. I have way too many saved places. Would like to create a list display, etc.

I consider usability of My Maps and my willingness to put data there on availability of programmatic API

Anyway, does it worth to keep posting here? Is anyone from Google reading this? I don't see any progress with this

Try to remember every where I've been 😂

In addition to querying your maps saved to MyMaps, it would be great if the API included the ability to save a dynamic custom map to MyMaps for future use. I have an application for teachers that allows them to login using their Google Accounts (OAuth2) and create a custom map for their classroom. Currently, there is no way for them to save that to their Google Account.

@jzarzuela: we're reading all your comments in this thread, but not actively working on this API right now.  It's still useful to see your interest and use-cases recorded here, because it helps us plan and prioritize going forward.

+10 for a MyMaps API - would be helpful for many users!

My Maps would be a useful addition to the data library for the Maps API. Before it was deprecated, I used the Map Engine Data layer in conjunction with the API to load data. It was a very simple json file to parse. While I can load a My Map via KML url, the Maps Engine data layer allowed students easy control of turning On/Off layers, handling infoWindows, etc. For prioritizing going forward...here is an old 2 year old youtube on how loading a former MapsGallery data, created and served via the old Maps Engine, worked in an educational setting. https://youtu.be/mCCYKVBBqUg. Echoing previous comment, it would be great for students to create multi-layer maps via My Maps to share and compare.

Would love to use this for sharing base jump locations on my groups website... allow members of the group to add locations and edit existing ones

It would be nice for MyMaps API to update it's things like pins, etc. based off of a data from a Google Sheet.  This would be huge if it were implemented.  

I want to use custom google map from MyMaps to show some specific areas in the town
(e.g. crimes, water/air pollution, etc) in my mobile app.

So, ++

I just want to access My Maps data as JSON to plot on a map within mobile apps.

I would like to be able to modify MyMaps via script. With the introduction of Lists for places on iOS, it is tedious to go back and change all saved coffee shops to the coffee shop list for example. The ability to do it programatically would be great!

I am currently developing a chat bot which would crowd source locations and would love to save this information directly to custom maps...

Api for Mymaps is very needed

overdue!!! i need this too

I would use My Map to create layers of service points and use an API/Webhook from Zapier to determine the closest Service depot, so would definitely find this useful.
